Because what good is a hero if he's not a tortured one? ) (Oh, how I love my tortured heroes.) Tough on the outside (he's a real deal cowboy after all) but he's more beta hero on the inside. And though he does some brooding, he's gentler than your normal brooders. Houston Leigh was injured, half of his face disfigured in the war, and he's a guy who would just rather keep to himself. The brother of the man the heroine's supposed to marry picks her up and is supposed to bring her on the month-long journey to the ranch. So this one has a mail-order bride set-up in the American West. But I saw it when I was skimming through my Kindle titles, seeing what I was in the mood for, and I thought, "Oh, well, I'll read a few pages and see if it captures me." You know how this goes, I didn't stop and finished the book in about two days, lol. I believe someone recommended it to me but my memory fails me. I'm not sure what originally made me download Texas Destiny by Lorraine Heath. So I decided to give one a try, and I'm so glad I did. And one thing I couldn't ever remember reading was a historical western romance. I've mentioned before that I didn't grow up reading romance, so I'm playing catch up with some of the oldies but goodies. This Friday I have a bit of a throwback book for you.
