SUMMARY: [From the back of the book.] There was only one rule on the frontier - survival. So when a wounded, buckskin-clad stranger appeared at the door of her isolated cabin, Elspeth Stewart felt no qualms about disarming him and then tying him to her bed. Newly widowed and expecting her first child, she had to protect herself at all costs. And Nicholas Kenleigh threatened not only her safety, but her piece of mind. The terrible scars on his body spoke of a tortured past, but his gentle touch and burning gaze awoke longings she had never expected to feel. Bethie had every reason in the world to distrust men; the cruelty she had suffered at their hands had marked her soul, though her blonde beauty showed no sign of it. But little by little she found herself believing in Nicholas, in his honor, his strength. As he brought her baby into the world, then took both mother and daughter into his care, she realized this scarred survivor could heal her wounded spirit, and together they would... Ride the Fire.
REASON FOR READING: In the mood for a western.
THOUGHTS: I can't even make fun of books without wanting to read them anymore. I was with friends in a Barnes & Noble and picked up this book because it looked absolutely horrendous. I was wrong. The title, cover, and blurb on the back intrigued me. So, I decided to buy it. That was a good decision. This book is quite true to life (if overly dramatic). The characters actually seem real to me. The author did a great job of recreating life on the frontier. I just wish more authors had that talent. All in all, one of the better romances I've read.
MISCELLANEOUS: The title is just too much.
KEEP/SHARE/CRINGE(?): Keep
