Rush
Author: Ciara
Knight
Genre:
Historical Western Romance
To avert
an impending life of servitude, Bethany Cook seeks freedom on a wagon train
bound for gold country. Disguised as a young boy she secures work as a travel
companion with Thomas Nolan, a rich New Yorker who is on his own quest to
distance himself from the nightmare of a fraudulent marriage.
A cross-country journey by Thomas’ side proves more difficult than Bethany anticipated when he becomes obsessed with her true identity—the golden haired beauty he shared one night of passion with. Bethany attempts to confess the truth, but a bounty hunter exposes her as a devious woman that lied to Thomas for months for her own evil gain. Her life and her heart now rest in the hands of Thomas, who must decide if he can forgive and marry her or leave her to the fate she’s brought upon herself.

Book Excerpts
He cleared his throat and took on a stern tone. “Listen, I don’t
mean to sour your taste for marriage. All I’m saying is, don’t make the same
mistakes I did. You’ve been a hard worker and you’re probably the first person
I’ve trusted besides Charlie, Henry, and his wife in a long time. Forget the
gold, come work on my ranch. You can live in the main house and cook. I’ll
treat you like a son.”
“No.” Her breath hitched. Lying in this wagon for one night was
enough to melt a girl’s resolve. Besides, she wouldn’t be able to keep up this
deception much longer. “I’m off to make my own fortune.”
“I won’t hurt you. It’s obvious your pa was a drunk and used a
switch often, but I would never.”
Bethany’s head swarmed with images of a happy home, of confessing
the truth and falling into his arms this night.
“What is it? You can tell me anything. I promise. I’ll never hurt
you. Trust me.” His words clutched her heart and squeezed tight.
“You can’t make that promise,” Bethany said while trying to keep
her wits. Everything rested on her making it to the gold and striking it rich.
Not ending up in the arms of some man who had already proven he’d turn to the
bottle when things got tough.
“Bart, I can. We’ve both been through plenty. Perhaps it’s time
for us to trust someone.”
“No. The minute you see that girl again you’ll lose your head.
You’ve already turned to the bottle. I’m going to find gold and start my life
on my terms.” Bethany turned to face away from him. “Go to sleep. I’m not
talking about this anymore.”
She concentrated on steadying her breath and not thinking about
the handsome man at her side in the darkness. He only spoke words. The first
time things got tough he’d turn to a switch or his hand. That’s what all men
did once they owned a woman.
Surely not every man. The
tingling in her stomach urged her to take a chance, to wrap her arms around him
and confess who she really was. Why did this man cause her body to feel these
things when no other man had in the past? She wanted to escape into the cold
rain to cool her burning skin and rid it of all this desire, but she had to
remain in the wagon by Thomas’ side all night. A long and torturous night
Review:
Great
romance and western. I enjoyed the run
around between the main characters.
I
give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
