Gun Shy Bride:
I loved this book. McCall was such a wonderful and caring lady. Her intuition and insight made for such a delight female protagonist. I so adored her. Luke was a wonderful man that while caring for his uncle for taking him in, was conflicted with his emotions on many levels.
This story starts another mini-series within the Whitehorse, Montana series the Winchester Ranch. The ground work is being laid that will weave through this portion of the mini-series. Who helped to kill Trace Winchester? McCall’s father (Pepper Winchester’s beloved son) was believed to have run out on his pregnant wife Ruby. After 27 years though, his bones are found on a ridge overlooking Winchester Ranch. McCall being a deputy sheriff (and daughter) wanted justice and closure. Pepper wants revenge for the murder of her favorite son.
Luke has his own mystery to solve as game warden for the area. There is a poacher(s) and he is hot on the trail. This story weaves the two mysteries together to bring these two former lovers back together. The book is full of mystery and intrigue as to who killed Trace and who is illegally killing the deer?
I was unable to put the e-reader down. This story was one that called for a late night as I started it late in the evening. I was lead on the merry chase that Ms. Daniels wove in this tale.
I highly recommend this book (well the entire series) to anyone. Ms. Daniels has been a favorite of mine.
HITCHED!
LOVED IT!!!!

What secrets is Josey hiding? This story is weaving several mysteries together. Jack is trying to figure out what his grandmother is up to while keeping a promise to his Mother.
It was recently discovered that Trace didn’t runaway but was murdered. Is Pepper trying to make up to her family after 27 years or does she have an agenda of her own? What is Jack searching for when he sneaks out in the middle of the night? Will Josey’s past catch up to her while she on at the ranch?
Also making an appearance is McCall from Gun Shy Bride. She is busy investigating a murder of an abused woman found near the river along with a submerged car.
Yes, with all of this going on, I was GLUED to my e-reader. What else could Ms. Daniels put in this intriguing mystery romance?! I was enchanted right from the beginning. There was no way I was putting this down until I finished this.
I loved both Josie and Jack. What a perfect couple. The chemistry between them was electric right from the start.
I highly recommend this story (well really the entire Whitehorse series!!)
