(Spoiler alert! Stop reading if you don't want to know the ending) I ♥ Maggie Osborne. I really do. If I had to pick a favorite by her it would be Silver Lining with this book a very close 2nd. Osborne's characters are so REAL they make you want to be in the story with them. This is the story of Fox, a woman as feisty as they come. She is a scout who leads people all over the Rocky Mountain territory. She's lived a hard life and has the scars to prove it. Her best friend and the only father she's really ever had is Peaches, a black man who she's been with for over 20 years. Together they agree to lead Matthew Tanner on a dangerous trip directly over the mountain passes to Denver, where he is going to deliver ransom money to kidnappers who have his beloved father. This is right up Fox's alley because she has been planning a trip to Denver....her last trip. You see Fox has an agenda: to find and kill the man who stole her inheritance and threw her away as a child of 5 years old - her stepfather. Fox's mother was an heiress and when she died, her stepfathers greed led him to give Fox to distant relatives and never return, telling all who would listen that Fox died shortly after her mother did of an unknown illness. Unable to prove she's the rightful heir to her mother's estate some 20 plus years later, Fox decides she'll just kill him and take her punishment. It can't be any worse than the life she is living now, hand to mouth in a roughneck mining town on the frontier. The only problem is, Fox didn't count on her attraction to Matthew Tanner, or his reciprocal interest. Along the way they become much more than guide and employer. Matthew has never met a woman like Fox. She tells it like it is, isn't afraid of man or beast and yet she shows a vulnerability that he is unable to reconcile with the take charge persona Fox gives the world. He cannot help but admire her, and eventually fall in love with her. But Matthew comes from money - lots of money, and he knows that Fox will never fit into his world. He has enough honor to resist starting anything with her because he doesn't want to hurt her feelings once they reach Denver. The only problem is, Matthew didn't count on Fox taking that decision away from him! Their love scenes are touching but also scorching hot. I love a good travel romance and this has all the elements. There is a twist you never see coming and you wonder how in the world Osborne will resolve this between the characters, but she does, and its not contrived or rushed. There's also violence, anger and death in the story and more than once I cried. If you've got a whole day you can sit down and do nothing but read - pick up this book. I hated putting it down even for a minute. A+
