NOTE: Historical Western
Blade had been looking for a ranch to buy in the Dakota Territories, so he can get away from his cheating ex-fiancee and his rich family. And looks like he finally found one... If he can just convince the ailing owner and the spitfire daughter to sell... So he assumed the role of a drifter... But Stormy may be too tempting to resist... // Stormy knew she's a spitfire... She'd rather wear pants and ride horses than wear a dress and do frilly things. Being motherless can do that. But the ranch's loan is coming and the evil banker wants HER as payment. Desperate for any help, she agreed to hire Blade as a ranchhand, after apologizing for mistaking him for one of banker's goons. But it seems he has his own designs on her... and when Blade's true identity came out... Stormy found herself unable to trust anyone...
As adventure / romantic suspense with a bit of hidden identity / protector / hidden agenda, the plotting is great. The actual romance and characterization are a bit off though, IMHO. Stormy turned totally into a damsel in distress later, unable to do anything to affect her own fate. It's as if being married and pregnant flipped her personality. 3.5/5
