** Book Review- The Bounty Hunter's Bride by Janis Jakes

  

 Bounty hunter Luke Lancaster brings the best of both worlds to his work-the tracking skills of his Comanche father and the marksmanship he learned from his missionary grandfather.

When Luke is hired to track down a young man wanted for murder, he assumes it's a routine capture, but he's taken on a wild ride when he discovers that the accused is actually an innocent school teacher who knows too much for her own good.

Determined to uncover the truth, Luke sets out to keep himself and Billie alive while bringing the real outlaws to justice. As they race across Texas, Luke falls more in love with Billie. But, could a schoolteacher ever want a half-Comanche bounty hunter? Does Luke stand a chance or is he just her ride to freedom?  AMAZON LINK

4 STARS

What a good story this one ended up being. Luke was a really good main character and so was Billie.  Their first meeting was quite the surprise..for both of them.  It was not only surprising but had the potential to being dangerous as well.  It won't be the only dangers that they face.  In fact, it is just the beginning.  

The story kept me involved all the way through.  Not only because of Billie and Luke but also because of their struggles to get justice.  Then there is also the secondary people in the story that includes Luke's father.  The emotions are there and the faith in God too.  Forgiveness is something that Luke is struggling with and it's easy to see why. HIS faith in God has been damaged but there are other people in the story who are still solid in their faith.   I'm hoping that others will read this story even it's not their normal fare.  The story was just that good.  

It comes to a good ending with an equally satisfying Epilogue. 

I read this book through Hoopla for free.
