Pony Express Courtship

GIVEAWAY

GIBSON, RHONDA
PONY EXPRESS COURTSHIP

Winning the widow's heart...

Turning her farm into a Pony Express station is the only way for recently widowed Rebecca Young to provide for her seven adopted sons and her young daughter. It also means contending with new station manager Seth Armstrong as he trains her boys to be riders. But Rebecca soon sees he has her children's best interests at heart -- and perhaps hers, too...

Seth plans on staying long enough to teach the boys how to survive the trail, before continuing on to search for his lost mail-order bride. But now, as he works so closely with Rebecca and her children, he's glimpsing the possibility of a different future. Could changing course bring this cowboy the chance of true love and fatherhood he never expected?

Daring Pony Express riders risk all for duty -- and for love.

My Review:

What an exciting premise to centre a series around. The Pony Express is what legends are made of. Even this eastern Canadian knows about the important role they played in getting mail across the West. Setting a romance at a newly formed Station adds the thrill of adventure and the lure of danger and that ups the tension of an already captivating plot.

Rebecca is wary but determined to make the Station a success for the sake of her sons, Seth is driven and exacting, just as determined to train up these young men to be excellent Express riders before he moves on. Until his attraction to Rebecca plays havoc with his carefully laid plans. Love, adventure and touches of humour makes this the kind of read that thrills to the very last page.

    1. In the author notes at the back she mentions that there isn't a lot known about the Pony Express so the author had some fun with imagining what it was like from the little we do know. Good luck, Trixi.
