Silver Matlock and Jared Newman know
traveling together is a bad idea. Bad for Silver's already tarnished reputation
in her small Colorado town. Bad for bounty hunter Jared's secret, single-minded
mission for revenge. But Silver is determined to track down the rogue who left
her at the altar and stole the last remnant of her father's fortune. And Jared's
in a hurry to hunt down the murderer who destroyed his family---even if Silver
is too distractingly beautiful for comfort.
The pair takes off over mountain and
desert, past bleak homesteads and raw mining towns, hot on the trail of the two
villains who took what wasn't theirs to take. Soon supplies dwindle, secrets
emerge, and suspicion leave Silver and Jared at odds when they need each other
most. To confront an enemy deadlier than desert rattlesnakes and rocky cliffs,
Silver and Jared must learn to forgive and trust and face the question they
haven't dared voice: What happens next?

MY REVIEW:
This was an enjoyable, light read. I was able to read it in a very short time and it's a perfect summer/beach book.
Silver has been left at the alter, and not only that, her fiance stole all her family's money and they are now in peril of losing everything. Silver feels bad enough but her step-mother has made it abundantly clear (as she always does) how she has brought shame on the family and makes her feel bad.
Enter Jared, a bounty hunter, who has become a bounty hunter for very personal reasons. Silver decides to hire him to find her fiance in hopes of recovering the money and bringing him to justice. The twist is that she always insists on going along to help find him. Regardless of how her reputation has been tarnished, and this will further tarnish it, she feels compelled to do this.
I figured out the plot pretty quickly of how this would all tie together, but regardless, it was still an enjoyable book. I enjoyed the historical western theme of the book and the main characters were very likable and I found myself cheering them on.
I am giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. I have read other Robin Hatcher books and felt they were a bit more complex, so from that point of view I was disappointed. However, that said, this book was still good and I would recommend it.
