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.
