Dark Stranger

Heard of the saying "timing is everything"? Well, his sure was.Kristin McCahy was struggling to hold her family and land together out west while the battles of the Civil War were still taking place in the north and south. The families in Missiouri and Kansas were having their own wars with John Brown supports coming through ravishing the land and killing when the Union supports weren't around and visa-versa. Kristin had already lost her papa when a group came through killing and burning. Then her brother left to go fight on the Union side. So her sister and she were trying to hold things down on the ranch until her brother came back when a group of riders came by determined to rape her and destroy the homeplace. And then along came Cole Slater riding by. All it took was his sharp shootin' to change the minds of the riders but a threat was left as they rode off that they would be back. Now Kristin was going to have to convince Cole to stick around to give them protection. But when Kristin gave Cole a proposition- Cole told her it was going to be his way or no way... So how does marriage come into play? I'll let you discover that.It's a great story. HG doesn't let her readers down. Cole is mysterious and leads the reader to want to know more about him. The passion that is between him and Kristin is strong- along with the relationship Kristin has with her sister and then brother and the relationship between Cole and his 2 brothers really adds to the story. The reader won't be disappointed. I really enjoyed and highly suggest it! Now I am looking for Rides A Hero.

I loved this book, I will definitely have to read the book(s) related to it. The characters were well-written, if not a little over-bearing in Cole's case. That was my only problem with the book, he wanted things HIS way with no room for compromise, but at least he leared. Highly recommend this book, especially if you already enjoy Graham's books!!!

I loved this book! I did not want it to end. The characters Kristin and Cole really come to life. Great romance, I really felt as if I were there. I would love to read the next book in this series.

I loved this book it was romatic and funny. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read Rides A Hero and Apache Summer. The second book is real hard to find, but I will not give up I believe it will diffently be worth the search.

The story of Kristin and Cole is a wonderful love story about two strong willed people who come together and learn how to love. I enjoyed this book immensly. The story of Shannon and Malachi is also well written and an absolute page turner. I can't wait until Jaime has his story released.
