REVIEW
Heart of the Frontier shares four different western romance novellas set in the time of the Wild West. The stories are each unique, engaging and fit the western theme from bandits to cattle ranchers to pioneer fronts.
The Gamble shares how a young woman's life changes and how she tries to help a British aristocrat from a cattle rancher's Ponzi-scheme. This novella was really interesting and I wished there was more background information in the back of the book on how the author came up with the idea and if there was any historical context. It was very different and I liked the boldness in the characters and in the story.
Her Frontier Bandit has a mystery for the main character to discover. The story's suspense turned this into quite the page turner. It was well written and the characters seemed to come alive in the story.
Sagebrush Sally gave me several misdirects as a reader. I felt like the author did a good job in a short amount of time to provide a plot twisting, suspenseful story with exciting action scenes.
Celebration for Celia is a sweet story on second chances and doing something for others.
Although each of these stories are different, I found them to be diverting and captivating reads. To find out more about Heart of the Frontier, click here.
