Romance on the Texas Range with Bestselling Historical Novelist Deeanne GistIn 1904 Texas Ranger Luke Palmer arrives in Brenham, Texas, with one goal--to capture the gang of outlaws led by Frank Comer. Undercover as a telephone repairman, he uses his days on the range to search, not realizing there's another pair of eyes watching him.Georgie Gail, switchboard operator and birder, heads out on a birding expedition, but instead of sighting a painted bunting, her opera glasses capture her telephone man, armed and far away from telephone lines. Palmer is forced to take this alluring troublemaker into his confidence and unwittingly puts her in harm's way. The closer he comes to the gang, the further she works her way into his heart--and into trouble. Soon it's more than just love that's on the line.
I really enjoyed this book, my favorite thus far of books I've read from Gist. The pair of characters and their "opposing" interests go head to head as they find themselves working alongside each other. It's a fun and memorable period piece with enjoyable conflict and tension. Everything is creatively woven together.
This seemed more lighthearted than some of Gist's earlier books, but I'll attribute that to the milieu. It's appropriate for young adult and adult readers.
