Cassie is on the run from an abusive ex, when an ad for a mail order bride provides her a much needed escape. Unknown to her, her husband is a wolf shifter alpha, and she's his true mate! Quick read with kind and sweet leads, and occasional funny quips. Two good banging scenes too. My only two complaints are against the male v card and lack of epilogue. Otherwise, this would have been a much higher rating. I liked this simple yet hot novella.

It was set near Buffalo yay for the B-lo! It ends rather abruptly but I didn't expect twenty epilogues, so I was fine with this. I would read more from Ms. Another easy and enjoyable novella read from Ella Goode. An enjoyable short shifter storey. Nov 08, Andrea Way rated it liked it.

This was a bit different to all shapeshifter books that I had read which is good. This was also a short read that is fine by me. I really did not want to compare it to all the books I had read as every book is unique and obviously each author had different story to tell with different views but I still find myself wanting more on the story. I cannot say I enjoy the book as it was just nice for me.

I would recommend everyone to give it a try. Do not expect too much! This is not a full This was a bit different to all shapeshifter books that I had read which is good. This is not a full novel!

These and more questions are answered in Colorado Dawn by Kaki Warner. This book totally caught me off-guard. First of all, I had purchased it months ago and set it aside because of work. Finally, when I opened it I could not stop. Even knowing that it was the second in the Runaway Brides series, I read this before Kaki Warner's first in the series, Heartbreak Creek.

Secondly, being a photographer, I was sucked in. Kaki got her facts right on that end and I give her kudos for it. Third, what an awesome story. Maddie, finally getting her due as a well-known photographer, even though at the time, the public at large doesn't realize that M Wallace is a female.

Both Maddie and Ash make life-changing decisions and the way they work them through is amazing. Maddie is no shrinking violet, and those who know me well, know I am a staunch supporter of the self sufficient female, but I am also a die hard for dominant male Angus. This book had me cheering, crying and wanting to kick some butt. Kaki Warner's description of Colorado in the late 's brought out the history lover in me and well as the romantic.

I am eagerly awaiting the next installment Thanks Kaki Warner for such a fabulous ride in Colorado Dawn. She an Englishwoman and he being a Scot there is bound to be trouble. In six years of marriage, Maddie has had more than enough. In those six years she received two letters and one visit.

He was either a cad or a very devoted officer. She was scorned by the Wallace family because she was English. She was near abandoned by her husband and she felt so all alone. She has to return to England to take care of things after their deaths. While there she decides to go on with her passion of photography. She would start a new fife.. She left her absent spouse and her lonely old life behind when she accepts an assignment with a London paper. She was going to take pictures of the American West. Angus Ash Wallace has only wanted to be a soldier.

But he was forced to leave the military because of a serious injury. He goes back to Scotland and realizes that everything he knew had changed. He has to now face the fact that he's heir to an earldom. He doesn't and never has wanted this. As if this wasn't enough he finds his lovely wife has left for another land. Ash decides to go back to America and he finds his wife in Heartbreak Creek, Colorado. He was full of confidence that he would take Maddie back home to Scotland and start siring some heirs.

He has led military men for years, how much trouble can a little wife be? Oh is he in for it. His wife is now a strong, independent woman with her "family" around her. She is going into a wild and daring land. Taking his wife home isn't going to be quite what he thought. The setting for the book is the 's, the beautiful Colorado Rockies in the background.

Warner hasn't disappointed once again. This addition to the historical western series, Runaway Brides is full of adventure, heartache, tears, and some humor. Oh and we must not forget the romance. There are many characters which the author has given them their own story along with being involved with the other characters. Kaki Warner writes fantastic adventures set in the American West with characters that will keep your attention even when you're done with the book. The author wrote with great detail in her characters and settings.

You can almost picture yourself in Maddie and Ash's lives. I would suggest you start with book one and follow through. You won't be disappointed. Jan 18, Barb in Maryland rated it really liked it Shelves: I quite enjoyed this one. The author did a good job of getting the estranged couple back together again.

Maddie Wallace had good reasons for feeling deserted by her cavalry officer husband. He is recalled to his troop soon after their wedding and, over the course of the next 4 years, she gets 2 letters and one visit from him. And it isn't that he or the letters had to travel half-way around the world to get to her. He's in Ireland, she's stuck with his rather unwelcoming family in Scotland. Whe I quite enjoyed this one.

When she goes home to England at the death of her parents, she just doesn't go back. She is a talented amateur photographer and heads to London in hopes of a job. Luck smiles on her and she is soon on her way to the American West--on assignment for a London newspaper. So, for the past two years she has been roaming the West, using Heartbreak Creek, Colorado as her base. Now out of the military after a serious injury; he feels duty bound to the family estate in Scotland. He doesn't understand his wife at all, but doesn't want to give her up either.

The path to true love and reconciliation between the two was not smooth--hooray! Both had to grow up and to give up their old notions of how things were. By the time the book ended I felt they had reached a very good compromise and that their HEA was believable. There is a lively bit of action going on in the background involving a pair of claim-jumpers who pose a threat to Maddie. And we get the next chapter in the secondary romance between Prudence Lincoln, mulatto school teacher and Thomas Redstone, Cheyenne warrior.

Throw in a bit of local politics and you have a well-rounded book.

After all the horrible oppression the English perpetuated against the Scots and at the time of the novel we're still crushing the Scots, I do not understand how any Highlander would willingly be in the British army. Ash talks about the campaigns he's been in: India, Ireland, the Crimea. All examples of English colonialization I had a problem with the character Ash.

All examples of English colonialization and oppression, especially Ireland. Doesn't Warner know her Scotttish history? I was also irritated with Maddy's wishy washy attitude toward Ash.

Runaway Bride: Saved by the Alpha Wolf

By the end of the book she wanted to go to Scotland so her children would be "safe" and have all the advantages of the aristocracy. She totally forgave Ash for neglecting her for six years! The only good thing about the book was the story of Thomas and Prudance. I'm more interested in their story than any one else's.

Her husband's family treated her dismisivly and her husband prefers his army career to her. Photography drew her interest and she found a London newspaper man to back her art. She sets out to capture the American West through the lense of a female photographer. Angus is on the hunt for his wife. He searched Scotland, England, and finaled tracked her down to Colorado Territory. He needed her to return with him to Scotland and manage his estate.

Angus needed to fulfill his duty, but only with Maddie at his side. I am disappointed by the cover art for this title. Her previous books featured a landscape with the title in an ornamental frame. I preferred the simplified and uniform look. Beyond the cover, I enjoyed Warner's look at the West.

The H and h never really had it out about each others' abandonments. The hero and heroine both loved the other but it took awhile for them to figure out that they didn't want to live with each other. The hero's attitude was that he needed to figure out whether he wanted to keep his wife or divorce her not very romantic. Nov 09, Jennifer rated it it was ok Shelves: Warner's engaging writing couldn't save this one for me. The MCs were not compelling at all and I found the h to be an idiot. She was utterly ridiculous in how she blamed her husband.

Sure, he could have been more forthcoming about why he didn't write more, but she knew he was in the army when she married him. Did she think he was going to be around all the time? Why didn't she take his career into consideration before she married him? And then there's the H. He was an id Even Ms. He was an idiot too. How could he be surprised that his wife left after he ignored her for so long? I'm at a loss.

The premise of their separation was ridiculous and annoying. I couldn't get behind either character. My glad the angst didn't drag on for too long and that the MCs aired out their old differences rather early on, but this one just didn't do it for me.

It was nice to see the supporting characters from the first book. I'm hoping the third book of this series is better. Nov 19, Belinda rated it it was amazing.
