In the Arms of A Hero (The Fortunes of Texas)

Quinn McCoy is a mercenary sent by Victoria Fortune's father to rescue her from a civil war. He goes expecting to find a spoiled rich girl playing princess to the peasants. She wants to stay because she feels needed. They find passion as they struggle to get out of San Bonisto. Victoria develops some maturity as she realizes that she is endangering the people she is trying to help and learns that there is more to Quinn despite his avowal that he's doing it for the money. Quinn is quite the hero, compassionate and competent, he doesn't believe he's good enough for her. However, there isn't enough of an explanation for his dislike of rich folk besides the fact he started out on the wrong side of the tracks.A solid read from Beverly Barton.

WELL, BEVERLY BARTON HAS DONE IT AGAIN. HER BOOKS JUST GET BETTER AND BETTER. QUINN MCCOY IS A HERO IN VICTORIA FORTUNE'S EYES, BUT NOT AT FIRST. SHE COULD NOT STAND HIM. I LIKED THE WAY THIS BOOK STARTED AND STOPPED. THE BEGINNING CAUGHT YOU AND THE ENDING WAS EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS BOOK SIZZLED ON THE PLOT AS WELL AS THE PASSION. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.......
