Being transported to a small Texas town in the 1860s is the last thing Ranger Jake Malone expected. But living in the past does come with one hot, sizzling advantage--the doctor's assistant Rebecca Swanson. Rebecca's life is filled with danger, and is about to get worse if the unsavory men in the town get their way. She's desperate to escape and Jake's willing to help her. But can she trust him? Lucky for her, Jake's sworn to do whatever it takes to keep her safe by his side...and in his bed.
The main characters in this story were honorable and loveable. As a Texas ranger Jake is involved in an investigation of cattle rustlers near Houston, TX. Following an ambush by his adversaries, he finds he's fallen into a "time warp" and is now in the 1870's - one of the darkest periods of Ranger history. Upon awakening, Jake finds he's being nursed back to health by Rebecca. Rebecca has a troubled past that causes her to be uncertain of men and their intentions, but she can tell Jake is different than most men she knows. The story unfolds with Jake trying to right the wrongs he sees taking place, but mostly he wants to protect Rebecca and provide a better life for her. They simultaneously come to the realization that they love each other and are able to work together to bring justice to the small town of Diablo Flats. The biggest drawback is the books ending, the story doesn't seem to tie up all loose ends and still leaves you wondering. Maybe an epilogue would be helpful?
