This story just wasn't as engaging for me. I liked the first two books better. I liked the epilogue though. ( )

This is the last of this Rogues in Texas western series, but I found it still lacked the oomph of her Texas Destiny series which I adored. This western romance is the story of young girl who is believed to be dying of consumption. Her brother, wishing to grant her last wish, asks the town of Fortune's (now) sheriff, Kit Montgomery to marry her in name only so that she can have a nice wedding day to remember until the day she dies. After much hesitation, based on his history with his brother's dead wife, Kit agrees to marry her. Of course, they wind up falling in love which is exasperated by the fact she's expected to die within six months. They try to avoid too much intimacy but it's impossible after a while. Both are torn, but of course it all ends well, but only after much hand wringing and worry. I liked this better than book 2 in the series and it kept my attention, but overall it didn't have the emotional pull I believe it should have, based on the angsty storyline. Btw, this needs a new cover design pronto - it's so reddd! ( )
