Description: Shadow Ochoa is lying low in the western Kansas Territory, waiting for his fellow Texas Rangers, the Hell's Eight brotherhood, to clear his name. That is, until he's unjustly strung up for horse thieving and pretty Fei Yen intervenes. Invoking a seldom-used law, the exotic lady prospector claims Shadow as her husband and rides off with the bridegroom shackled to her buckboard. Savvy, fearless Fei is single-mindedly devoted to her hidden claim and all it promises: wealth, security and freedom. A husband is just a necessary inconvenience and a name on paper to hold the claim she cannot. Shadow isn't a man to take orders from anyone, especially from lovely Fei, except that the daily friction between them ignites into nightly blazes of all-consuming passion. Soon Shadow is dreaming a little himself: of the life they could have if only Fei could see past the lure of independence. If only bounty hunters weren't closing in on him. If only he's left standing when the impending showdown has ended.
About Author: Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. (1)romance author Sarah has traveled extensively throughout her life, living in other cultures, sometimes in areas where electricity was a concept awaiting fruition and a book was an extreme luxury. While she could easily adjust to the lack of electricity, living without the comfort of a good book was intolerable. To fill the void, she bought pencil and paper and sketched out her own story. In the
process, Sarah discovered the joy of writing. Sarah writes what she loves to read; fast paced stories with vivid dialogue, intense emotion and well developed characters. Her attention to detail in her stories has earned her multiple awards and a reserved spot on Keeper shelves everywhere. Sarah writes for Ellora's Cave, Harlequin HQN, Harlequin SPICE, Berkley HEAT and Berkley SENSATION.

Took me a while to remember where the story left off with Shadow's situation (this is not a stand alone read), but once I got up to speed I started remembering why I like this series. Sometimes I find Sarah McCarty's writing a little choppy and her dialogue is not always easy to follow, but she does tell a good story.

Took me a while to remember where the story left off with Shadow's situation (this is not a stand alone read), but once I got up to speed I started remembering why I like this series. Sometimes I find Sarah McCarty's writing a little choppy and her dialogue is not always easy to follow, but she does tell a good story. In this book, Shadow Ochoa (who is wanted by the law for a crime he committed in Tracker's Sin) is minutes away from being hung for stealing a horse, until a brave and beautiful young Chinese/American (Fei Yen Tseng) woman steps in and saves him from the hangman's noose. She needs a temporary husband (to help her with her gold claim), and Shadow will do just fine. But what she doesn't count on is having an attraction and burning desire for a man who could never be in the life she's destined to lead... Loved the heroine in this one. Fei Yen, 23, was brave, smart, and passionate. I thought she clicked with Shadow, her Dragon, and taught him a thing or two about love. Loved learning about her Chinese culture and the things that were expected of her, and how she was 'limited' because of her mixed blood. Enjoyed her relationship with her 'full-blooded' Chinese cousin Lin too--some nice scenes with the two of them. I liked our hero too. Shadow, 31, had a tendency to try to protect the people who loved him by pushing them away. He didn't think he had much to offer a woman because of the pain and violence in his past. But that didn't work with Fei Yen, or with the rest of his Hell's Eight 'brothers'. I was so happy when they appeared in the story to save his butt and to kick it! Nice bit of suspense
at the end involving Fei, Shadow, the Hell's Eight guys, a corrupt Army general, a gold mine and some dynamite...had me biting my nails with worry. The love scenes? Not too many, but steamy enough. Definitely passionate, and I could feel the love between the two. Very sexy wedding night... "All right?" he asked, his voice harsher than he intended. "Yes, oh yes." "What do you need?" Nails digging into his shoulders, she sighed. "More. Just more." So, a pretty good addition to the series. Maybe not my favorite of the bunch (I still like Sam's Creed the best) but one that fans of the series should enjoy. It kept me turning the pages, which is enough for me. A solid 4 stars. I received this ARC from Netgalley. 17 likes 14 comments
