Synopsis:
A talented sharpshooter…a greedy rodeo master…and a dark secret!
No one can deny that pretty Emily Whittaker is one of the area’s best sharpshooters and a valuable addition to the rodeo circuit. However, she wants nothing more than to be free of the rodeo at last, but her tragic secret keeps her, her brother, and their mother captive.
Handsome and lonely Sam O’Connell, bartender for the Horse N Saddle in Wickenburg, discovers the trio and nothing will ever be the same in his life. After all his years of being a bachelor and believing that love was for everyone else, the woman of his dreams has arrived…if he can save her from the ghosts that haunt her.
Desperate for answers and filled with so much anguish that her thoughts are distorted, Emily becomes lost in the woods one day and an injury threatens her future. The future she’d only just begun to daydream about, featuring her now-beloved Sam, has never felt farther away, and knowing her danger makes the dream feel like it’s slipping through her fingers with each passing second…
Will Sam find Emily in time to save her—and can he defeat the evil and greedy man holding her and her family hostage as part of his rodeo?
Should Emily give up her dream of a happy, normal future with the man she loves in favor of the rodeo life she’s known for so long—and will her secret destroy any chance she has of making the decision for herself?
Review:
A love that can heal and save when least expected!
The Bride’s Secret is another sweet western romance in the Family of Love Series. This story is one that will have you turning page after page. A unique and captivating story with romance and a happy-ending that we all have come to expect. A little bit of mystery and a lot of romance. Sometimes love comes when least expected, however it is something to cherish and grab ahold of when it’s within your reach. The characters are well developed and engaging. There are real life situations that the characters go through and face. It is easy to relate to the realism of the characters.
Throughout the story, you learn of a family that has gone through hard times and Emily wants to get out and start a life away from the rodeo and captivity. Being a skilled sharpshooter means that Emily can’t leave or her family will be in trouble. What Emily didn’t count on was finding a man that makes her heart beat. Sam, the saloon owner, feels that he is too old for love however he didn’t anticipate finding a woman that would capture his heart. Sam was the hope and love that Emily needs to get out of a sticky situation and have the freedom that her family wants.
Elliee Atkinson does a fantastic job with the descriptiveness throughout her stories. You get a good sense of the area, the homes and the businesses. I will definitely continue to read the series to see what happens with the rest of the characters. I have read several books by Elliee Atkinson. I have not been disappointed, yet! I recommend this book and series to anyone that enjoys reading a clean western romance with a delightful ending.
