Tucker Morgan has met his match with Skylar Daines. The pile
on the poker table includes a marriage certificate and a
very drunk Tucker bets he'll use it as soon as a blue eyed
angel calls his name. Skylar is at that moment searching the
bar for Chance Morgan who holds the future of her brother
Garret and her in his hands. So when she hears the name
Morgan called out she responds. So starts an adventure
neither Tucker nor Skylar particularly want but there is an
undeniable chemistry at work here. Skylar's mission is to
claim land left in a deed by her father and use the money
from the sale of her horses to the Morgan brothers to create
a real home for Garret and her. Chance and Tucker have spent
most of their lives in one struggle after another and are
now looking forward to raising horses on the ranch they have
built. The Morgan brothers have no intention of giving
Skylar their land and Skylar is just as worried over the
fate of her herd of horses. She is determined to find the
man who shot her father and stole the horses. She is also
determined to find a judge who will annul her marriage to
Tucker. Life is getting more and complicated as they all
head toward Wyoming. And keeping a safe distance from Tucker
is becoming more difficult everyday. As a trainer of wild
horses Skylar exudes confidence but she doubts that she has
what it will take to ease Tuckers wanderlust. Skylar has
spent her life protecting her brother but how will she
protect herself from dreaming of a future with the self
proclaimed bachelor Tucker.
About three quarters of the way through the debut novel by
Stacey Kayne I started to hope that Chance will have his own
story and was pleasantly surprised when Kayne announces that
it will be coming soon. The characters in Mustang Wild make
you laugh and tug at your heartstrings. How can characters
that have to be so tough just to survive in harsh times be
extraordinarily gentle and caring. Skylar is a complex
person; a gifted horse trainer, stubborn defender of her
brother and passionate dreamer -- what an endearing
combination. Tucker is a tough guy who is hanging on to his
independence with all his might. Separately they are mighty
but together they are formidable. If you like westerns
MUSTANG WILD will fit the bill and have you waiting for more.
With the deed to her land and kid brother to protect,
Mustanger Skylar Daines shouldn't have tangled with the
likes of Tucker Morgan. His stolen kiss scatters her
senses, and quicker than a whirling dust devil, they're wed.
What had started as a joke is now Tucker's worst
nightmare. He's keen to fix the marital slip-up--then he
tells Skylar the deed she holds belongs to him and him
alone. Perhaps Skylar shouldn't be so fast to have their
marriage annulled. She's not about to be swindled out of
the one thing she yearns for most--a home.
First they'll have to beat her father's murderer to
Wyoming. Hearing the killer is after his land, Tucker
teams up with a woman who has no trouble taking control of
his mustangs--or his desire.
