BOOK REVIEW- THE HUNTER BRIDE- Jo Shafter is not your simpering miss. She’s a bounty hunter and a darn good one. For the last five years she’s tracked down the men who killed her parents and little brother. Finally, she captured ringleader and sent him to prison. Now Jo can begin the new life she wants more than anything, that of a wife with a husband and children. Manlier than most of the men of her acquaintance, she becomes a mail-order bride. Sam Longworth is the sheriff of Hope’s Crossing. He wants a wife to cook and clean and give him children, a demure miss who won’t give him any trouble. One who will be happy with the simple life he leads. A nemesis from Jo’s past shows up with murder on his mind and Jo is drawn back into her old life in order to protect not only herself but Sam. Both Sam and Jo have secrets from their past. Can they build a happy marriage when neither trusts the other with the full truth or will the secrets drive them apart? AMAZON 4 Stars
I liked this book. One of the things that drew me was the unusual life that Jo had been living and the life she was moving into. Secrets. And Jo's not the only one who has them. On the surface, Sam looks exactly like he claims he is. Well, he is but also so much more too. I'm being careful here because I don't want to give anything away. Let the secrets unfold for you like they did for me as I read this story. Don't get me wrong though, Sam IS a good man. A good man who thinks his "little woman" is okay with being ordered around. She's willing to make some changes, but that one just isn't gonna fly. Her father raised her by his side like a son and she was almost as good a bounty hunter as he was. Her womanly skills were just developing when a past bounty escaped. Prepare yourself for several more surprises. They made me smile.
Several other people figure into the story and add warmth and depth to the story.
All in all a good story and one I enjoyed.
