Genre: Historical/Romance
Description:
“Lula May Rivers' mission to reach Cheyenne, Wyoming, and rescue her
niece is derailed when she's left penniless after a brutal robbery. Desperate
and determined, she disguises herself as a young boy named Lou and sneaks into
the baggage car of a train bound for Cheyenne.
Fate takes a dramatic turn when U.S. Marshal Gannon Calloway discovers
Lou. Anticipating another robbery, he offers her refuge aboard the train.
Impressed by Lou's skill with a whip, Gannon enlists her help, unaware that she
harbors dangerous secrets of her own. Their journey takes a perilous twist as a
killer, whom Gannon once put behind bars, escapes and is on a relentless path
to Cheyenne seeking vengeance against a female witness.
As tensions escalate, Gannon faces a stunning revelation: Lou is not a
boy but a captivating woman, and the witness the convict seeks to eliminate is
none other than her. Forced to work together, they must race against time to
catch the vengeful convict. Along the way, an unexpected romance blossoms,
revealing that sometimes, the heart has plans of its own.”

Appraisal:
Wow. I’ve got to confess that while I’ve read quite a few books in the
romance genre in my day and a least a few historical westerns, even some that
combine both like this one, neither fits my preferred genres. Yet I’ve also
come to realize that stretching my wings and reading books outside of my normal
genres is a good idea so I gave this one a try. I’m glad I did. It took me to a
different time and on a grand adventure with a couple of characters (take that
any way you want and it will fit) with Lula Mae and Gannon. An extremely fun
read.
