The Bounty Hunter and the Bride

By: McDonough, Vickie

She's wary of trusting her heart again. He's haunted by his wife's tragic death. As danger threatens to tear them apart, they must choose between fear and the chance for lasting love.

Pregnant and alone, Katie Hoffman struggles to save the family farm after her husband's death. She nearly marries a charming stranger with dark intentions, but she's saved by bounty hunter Dusty McIntyre. Though grateful, she blames him for the loss of her home and her brush with disaster. But as she witnesses his gentle way with her son and his determination to protect her, Katie finds her defenses crumbling.

Dusty McIntyre has spent two years tracking the outlaw who killed his wife, letting vengeance consume him. When his pursuit leads him to Katie, he never expects to feel such a powerful connection to the stubborn widow and her sweet baby boy. Yet his guilt over the past and anger toward God stand between them and any chance at happiness.

As an escaped criminal threatens their newfound peace and forces them to confront their fears, Katie and Dusty must decide if love is worth risking their wounded hearts-and if faith can light the way to a future together.

Be Swept Away

This is book five in the Windswept Weddings series and could be read as a stand-alone but the previous book contains Katie’s backstory as a child. I have enjoyed each book in this series and this one did not disappoint as it is well written and the characters have your heart breaking at times and smiling at others. Both Katie and Dusty have lost their spouses and through unfortunate circumstances their paths cross which leads to a wild ride as each navigates through a maraud of feelings. Dusty is determined to get revenge and as he slowly grows and finds forgiveness and stronger faith you will witness a transformation and be swept away. The wind is whispering words of healing that comes from the Lord and this author weaves her faith thread flawlessly into her books. A quick read that contains powerful words. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit/Wild Heart Books. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
