Captured by Comanche as a child, Molly Hart was assumed dead. Ten years later, Texas Ranger Matt Ryan finds a woman with the same blue eyes.Ten years have passed since Molly Hart’s ranch was attacked, her folks murdered and she was abducted. Now, at nineteen, she’s finally returning home to North Texas after spending the remainder of her childhood with a tribe of Kwahadi Comanche. What she finds … she finds is a deserted home coated with dust and the passage of time, the chilling discovery of her own gravesite, and the presence of a man she thought never to see again.
Matt Ryan is pushed by a restless wind to the broken-down remains of the Hart ranch. Recently recovered from an imprisonment that nearly ended his life, the drive for truth and fairness has all but abandoned him. For ten years he faithfully served the U.S. Army and the Texas Rangers, seeking justice for the brutal murder of a little girl, only to find closure and healing beyond his grasp. Returning to the place where it all began, he’s stunned to encounter a woman with the same blue eyes as the child he can’t put out of his mind.
A sensual historical western romance set in 1877 Texas.

I only gave this book three stars because it is just a fun book to read; not a best seller but I would give it 5 STARS to someone that wanted to just be entertained some and read something entertaining and easy to read.
Just finished THE WREN (WINGS OF THE WEST, #1) by Kristy McCaffrey. It was advertised as a free Kindle download in the historical fiction category. I suppose if you locate the novel on a ranch in West Texas populated by cowboys, Texas Rangers, ranch hands, cattle, and rattlesnakes, and place it in time just after most of the Indian wars, then it counts as historical fiction. But this is really a romance novel, a kind of literary soap opera. Throw in some physical danger, tragedy and sorrow, surprising situations, romance and titillation, a strong masculine hero, a struggling, vulnerable love interest, and a happy “and they all lived happily ever-after” ending….and you have the makings of a story that will bring satisfied sighs to those who enjoy reading romance fiction. Two stars….maybe.
Did not like the language. Read only a few pages.
This helped when I wanted a pleasant escape from the news.
Only wish to delete books with ease of previous method. New method is inane. Loved the book. A page Turner.
Enjoyed it….took a bit for the characters to find themselves, but overall a good read.
Cute story not great but cute
Excellent. Read it in two days. Couldn’t put it down.
not realistic

Really rather boring
I started this book not knowing it was a series. It upsets me when you get a free or 99 cent book and really like it only to find to continue the story the next books are more expensive. Hard on a fixed income. Did like the story and characters.
Predictable and could be just as good without the bedroom scene. Otherwise, well written.
Was a little slow reading at first. It picked up once the characters got to Alaska.
Did not care for bad language
Same old story line. Very predictable.
Wish the rest of the books was free :((((
