The light and shadow of emotion -- Highly recommended

Dressmaker Lottie chooses her bogus 'husband" from a wanted poster. She believes herself much more clever than her sisters, who fabricated their husbands out of thin air. At least her husband truly exists, even if he's in prison serving a very long sentence. Hiding behind her married status, Lottie creates a satisfying life, although in the dark of night she occasionally imagines what it would be like to let her steely control slip and do something shocking and wild. Indeed, Lottie's always had a fascination with the dark side of life, craving adventure and excitement, that's she holds tightly in check until she meets Shayne Rosswarne. When he's released, Shayne heads straight to McTavish Plain, in the North Dakota Territory where he plans to kill a man. When he arrives, however, the town greets him as Lottie's husband. Rather than revealing the truth, he plays the hand he's dealt; pleased with the woman he's "married" to. A little seduction of his enemy's sister-in-law should make revenge all the sweeter. But Lottie's not what Shayne expects in a woman. She's fire and hot current with a heated connection to him that challenges his desire for revenge and concept of honor. Author Linda Lea Castle pens a charming conclusion to the Bogus Bride trilogy with LOTTIE AND THE RUSTLER. Castle's prose sparkles with fun and whimsy combined with dark passion, resulting in a marvelous contrast of the light and shadow of emotion. Indeed, the wrestling of emotions in this hero, as he struggles to let go of the very resolve that kept him alive for years, creates tremendous tension. A novel of self-acceptance and transformation, LOTTIE AND THE RUSTLER combines heat, sensuality and love in a memorable read. Highly recommended.
