While, stopping for a meal, Ward meets Red, a young woman
forced to work at a saloon by an abusive man. Ward knows
what it's like to live with an abusive man, and decides to
help Red escape. The only problem is Red doesn't want to
leave, and Ward soon discovers Red's younger sister Belle is
being held captive too. Ward saves both, hoping to ease his
guilt about leaving his mother and two younger brothers with
an abusive step-father. Ward may have saved her life, and
taken her and her sister into his home, but Red is not yet
ready to except Ward's help or love. When the man that held
Red and Belle captive escapes from jail, Ward must convince
Red she is worthy of his love before she leaves him forever.
This is an inspirational story about finding and accepting
love. The dialogue is affectionate and witty, and THE
COWBOY'S CONVENIENT PROPOSAL has some great twists, which
keeps the book's adventures exciting. This story has some
tender moments between two likable characters. Ward is easy
to like, and Red grows and becomes a well-rounded character.
The setting, though not unique, is enjoyable, and anyone who
likes the Wild West will appreciate it. The real joy in this
story is Belle. She is a spunky, talkative eight - year -
old, who so easily overcomes her past to become a dreamer,
and a kind hearted little girl. A heartwarming happy ending
wraps this book up nicely. Linda Ford has written a sweet
inspirational story worthy of reading.
She was a woman in need of protection. But trust is the one
thing feisty Grace "Red" Henderson is sure she'll never
give to any man again-not even the cowboy who rescued her.
Still, Ward Walker longs to protect the wary beauty and her
little sister-in all the ways he couldn't safeguard his own
family.
Red desperately wants to put her tarnished past behind her.
Little by little, Ward is persuading her to take a chance
on Eden Valley, and on him. Yet turning his practical
proposal into a real marriage means a leap of faith for
both...toward a future filled with the promise of love
