Westward Wedding Journey
Delsie Radford is going to make it to California, no matter the danger or difficulty. Her father may have kept her and her sister apart, but Delsie refuses to miss her sister's wedding—even with only eighteen days to get there. And she's found the perfect escort in Pony Express rider Myles Patton.
Myles can't believe it when a pretty socialite hires him to take her cross-country through rough terrain and dangerous territory. Surely she'll quit before they reach their destination—he's known girls like her before. But the longer they ride together, the more Myles notices Delsie's toughness and kindness beneath her polished exterior. And though they may be worlds apart…they might just be perfect for each other.
My Review
This book is pretty much close to perfect. I loved LADY OUTLAW, so I had no doubt that I would enjoy THE EXPRESS RIDER'S LADY. As with all of Stacy's book, she has a gift of taking you right to that time period. I instantly loved Delsie. Her determination to get to her sister was enduring. I loved their first "trial" run on that first day. What a trooper! Myles was also great. I could see his tough resolve slowly melting when it came to Delsie. Stacy does an amazing job in writing this era. The setting itself is a character. I really enjoyed this book.
5 out of 5 stars. I received a paperback copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
