First

“Find my wife, and I'll make sure you never want for anything in
your life.”
My
thoughts: I'm
a sucker for an old school category romance, and BOUNTY HUNTER
didn't disappoint. A Native American (Shoshone) bounty
hunter is hired to track down a rich prick's runaway wife. He claims he
cut off her credit cards and she ran off in a snit. But when Kane
catches up with Elizabeth (using the name Annie) he immediately
senses there's more to the story. So rather than hustle her back to
her husband, he convinces her to hire him on for room and board to
help out around the falling apart at the seams house and barn where she's
trying to start a canning business. And of course, despite
wariness and misgivings on both their parts, they fall for each
other, while it becomes obvious both their lives are in danger. And
then Kane has to come clean and tell Elizabeth the real reason he
showed up at her door, and hope she won't hate him.
No
need to tell you how it ends, because how else could it?
Favorite
lines:
"Shhh. Stop trying to carry the whole world on your shoulders. Let someone hold you. Let me."
Who wouldn't melt at that?
