In this entrancing conclusion to her Orphan Train trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller bewitches with a sensual Western historical romance about the oldest Chalmers sister, who dares to risk everything in pursuit of a dream...

Holding her lovely head high, Wyoming schoolmistress Caroline Chalmers did what no lady should: she marched right into the local saloon to see the dashing and reckless Guthrie Hayes. Worse still, she went to ask him for help. She needed the former Confederate raider to plan a jailbreak to rescue her fianc , Seaton Flynn, from the hangman's noose. An orphan by spinster sisters, Caroline was prepared do almost anything to save her beloved Seaton.

So why did her breath suddenly become a shivery sigh when she looked into Hayes's twinkling green eyes?

Customer Reviews

I read this until I finished it!

This book held my attention and I wanted to know what happened. There were a lot of different settings which made it interesting and how each was played out. This is a book I plan to keep to reread later.

Fabulous Ending to the Orphan Train Series

Caroline calls Gutherie out of the local bar to seek his assistance in breaking her intended out of a jail for a crime he convinces her that he did not committ. It doesn't take long for Gutherie to fall for Caroline, whom he promptly begins calling "wildcat" for the remainder of the book. The hero and heroine are funny and hot and their adventure is a page-turner. Underneath their story is the reunion of Caroline with her two sisters from Lily and the Major and Emma and the Outlaw stories. Read the book in one sitting, like many of Ms. Miller's books.

Caroline and the Raider

I just couldn't put this book down. I found it incredibly interesting, exciting and very sexy. This is a "must read" for all who love romance novels!!!!

Caroline and the Raider - Part of the Orphan Train Trilogy

Charactors are so real and vivid, all are loved and cherished during reading, and truly missed when finished. Save it. You will want to read it again and again. But you must also read the other two books, 1st, Lily and the Major and Emma and the Outlaw. You will love them all.

Funny and sexy

This is the third in the series and ironically the one I have read first. The characters are interesting and real, caroline is impetuous and full of fire, the raider practical and couragous. There is some intrigue and suspense but mostly just plain fun reading. I read it in one sitting. If you like her other books you'll enjoy this one as well.
