GRR Reviews Cade (The Morgans of Rocky Ridge) by Margery Scott

In a very short historical western romance, Cade Morgan had never committed a crime in his life, but revenge and love compelled him to do something he had never contemplated... Rob a stagecoach, and kidnap a woman. With his two cousins, he must stop the stagecoach and take his childhood friend, Isabella Morrow away, to stop her wedding to an evil man... both for his sake... and hers.

In less than 50 pages, Margery Scott managed to provide enough background to substantiate the two main characters as well as several secondary characters, and the plot was very reasonable, even though it did have to resort to "shooting a gun out of someone's hands while one's on rocking stagecoach, and the other's on horseback" cliche. :)
