…IT’S HIS TOWN AND HE DARES GOD TO STEP FOOT IN IT.
Charles McIntyre owns everything and everyone in the lawless, godless mining town of Defiance. When three good, Christian sisters from his beloved South show up stranded, alone, and offering to open a “nice” hotel, he is intrigued enough to let them stay…especially since he sees feisty middle sister Naomi as a possible conquest. But Naomi, … But Naomi, angry with God for widowing her, wants no part of Defiance or the saloon-owning, prostitute-keeping Mr. McIntyre. It would seem however, that God has gone to elaborate lengths to bring them together. The question is, “Why?” Does God really have a plan for each and every life?
A Lady in Defiance, loosely based on true events, is set in the majestic San Juan Mountains of Colorado. While a romance, it is also an “ensemble” piece that weaves together the relationships of the three sisters and the rowdy residents of Defiance. With a nod to Pride and Prejudice, the story is filled with surprises, plot twists, and an ending you won’t be able to guess.

I really enjoyed this book!! Love that Naomi is strong, and that Charles is coming to terms with needing to change!!

I read this book a while back, to say the least back when I didn’t know how to correctly post a review!
This was one of the first books I remember reading by Heather Blanton. Heather weaves a story that is unlike so many in the genre. A cast of characters that are not only believable but fun to read about, very well developed. This story …
This book was a bit too steamy for Christian fiction. While I don’t doubt that the author described things the way they might have happened in a brothel in the wild west, I think I she could have been less graphic. I don’t expect to read any more books by this author.
