If the rating system allowed I would give this a 3.5. It is Book One in the Journey’s End series is ‘Here Comes McBride’, an easy to read story with a setting of the old west. The storyline is straightforward – a young woman trying to escape the nefarious intentions of a sleazy man with connections, and the reformed bad boy who protects her and falls in love with her.
Lars Nielson, the hero, confesses to a misguided past that really messed up his life for a while. Eleanor McBride, the heroine, is a strong young woman struggling against the odds to survive all by herself. This book has romance, drama, danger, an evil villain, and a taste of the uncertain life of a frontier settler. Be aware that this story contains some DD. Lars’ behavior toward her sometimes seemed over the top because he himself was reportedly such a misbehaved guy. But it is made clear that he is trying to keep her safe, and at one point he even backs off and acknowledges his own fault in the scene that has taken place.
Everything I was looking for in a D/D story. ‘Here Comes McBride’ is action packed right from the start, and the suspense kept me turning pages all night long. I really enjoyed reading this beautiful love story between Lars and Ellie.

ONE MESMERIZING DELIGHT!!!
Fabulous! Victoria delivers one incredible, enthusiastic gem from the start, ramping up the exuberance and adrenaline, blasting this baby to life spectacularly. Unveiling a foray of drama, turmoil, misgivings, angst, bedlam, intrigue, mounting suspense and perplexing situations along with a double-dose of calamity, you have one chart topping adventure. A raging vortex of inexplicable events and baffling circumstances, throw this bad boy into a churning tempest, blowing it into a tailspin with a life altering, mind-blowing culmination. The attraction and chemistry sizzles, alluring and mesmerizing, exposing a deep connection and amplifying affections, binding them together perfectly. Bumbling through the trials and tribulations along with thrilling twists and harrowing turns, jolting our characters off kilter, testing them in ways they could have never imagined. The personalities are well matched and blend together smoothly. The characters and scenes are so colorfully descriptive to give you a full understanding and realism that blend and flows smoothly. Remarkable job Victoria, thanks for sharing this incredible jewel with us.

Journey’s End what a lovely name.
An awesome historical western with a bit of domestic discipline is Ms. Phelps’s tale. Lars and his brother are heading Oregon for a new wife. Then a pickpocket enters their life and things kind of snowballed after that. Ellie is scared running from a man who means her harm she dresses as a boy. When she tries to steal from Lars she finds out just what kind of man he is. The story takes off from there with danger, drama, and such a sweet romance oh, I almost forgot there is a bit of steam too. I enjoyed this book so much if you do not mind a bit of spanking then this is a book you will enjoy too. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
