Rebecca has exhausted her funds in her search for the
husband who gambled away all her money and abandoned her.
Only one thing keeps Rebecca going -- her son. Benjamin
Colfax left before Rebecca knew she was pregnant. Leaving
her baby with the nuns in St. Louis was the last thing she
wanted to do. Now, stranded in the small town of Oaktree,
whose only claim to prosperity is a row of nine saloons
lining the streets, Rebecca has only one choice. The Red Garter has a mixed group that includes a 6'6" black
piano player and a dwarf, along with the usual assortment
of saloon girls. Rebecca signs on as a singer and dancer
using the name Glory Bowen. Slater Forrester, a gambler with a past as mysterious as
her own, grimly figures the new singer will end up on her
back like all the rest. But Rebecca has other plans, and
eventually even Slater figures out that there's nothing
ordinary about Glory Bowen. The beautiful Glory has the
voice of an angel and her tenacity and determination have
even the cynical Slater under her spell. Rebecca makes mistakes but keeps plugging away, and Slater
begins to feel protective. She's out of her depth and
Slater finds himself rescuing her more often than not. At
the same time, he's angry because she makes him feel things
he'd rather not feel. The two begin a relationship that
neither can afford. Then their pasts intertwine as a mysterious person begins a
protection game. It's pay up or have your business trashed.
Unfortunately, someone has to die. This is the third in the saga of the Forrester brothers and
McKade keeps up the intensity and suspense as her
characters are stretched to their limits. They stand firm
against the odds and their strength and integrity brings
them to a satisfying conclusion. The author's descriptions
of the Old West and the people who grew out of the
hardships are gritty and edgy enough to please the most
demanding of fans. I like the way she tests her characters,
but makes it all believable and romantic. I didn't want to
put A REASON TO SIN down.
SUMMARY
The heart-stopping follow-up to A Reason to
Believe and A Reason to Live.
A
former well-to-do young woman winds up alone, homeless,
and desperate to get her son back. Little does she know
that she'll encounter a man destined to change the course
of her life.
