The Blurb
From USA Today Bestselling Author Beverly Jenkins
comes a new novel in a mesmerizing series set in the Old West, where an
arranged marriage becomes a grand passion . . .
What kind of mail-order bride greets her intended with a bullet instead of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael—an independent spirit equally at home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a man she’s never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze.
Regan’s far from the docile bride Colton was expecting. Still, few women would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an uncertain future with a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman like Regan in his life—and in his arms—begins to inspire a new dream. And despite his family’s disapproval and an unseen enemy, he’ll risk all to make this match a real union of body and soul.

My review
Ms. Jenkins is a master when it comes to writing romance. Tempest
has the perfect balance of humor, action, drama, and of course romance. I liked
Regan when I first met her in Breathless.
Strong willed and adventurous I knew her story would be amazing and it was.
Regan’s speak-her-mind and get-it-done attitude and Colton’s prideful,
and reserved personality brought out the drama in the story, but eventually they
merged quite well.
Colton’s daughter added the right touch and drive to their
relationship. His daughter helped show Colton’s more tender side which also softened Regan’s
heart toward him. I enjoyed watching the
child come out of her shell throughout the story. The book wouldn’t be complete
without a bit of historical education which I very much enjoyed.
I give this book five out of five wagon shaped chocolate
bars.
I purchased my copy from AmazonUK.
