A riverboat card man, Jake Gannon is about as no-good as they come--despite that good-looking hotness that can make a gal's skirts twirl in most unladylike ways. Suspected to be traveling under an assumed name, Jake has a mighty troublesome past, and was last seen in the company of one fiery filly who goes by the name of Ellie Winslow.... But Ellie ain't no ordinary looker. No sir, she landed here in 1876 by accident and is looking for her sister...and some answers. But first she needs to find a way off this here steamer with a man who fascinates her more every minute--a man who's about to teach her just how wild the West can be! No library descriptions found. |

At first Ellie thinks it's just a dream, but she soon realizes she really is in 1876. Ellie tries to persuade a disbelieving Jake that she is from the future. Along the way they have to deal with some bad guys from Jake's past. Ellie is convinced her sister, Reece, may have been transported back in time too, but how can she find her? And what about Ellie's attraction to Jake...
There's so many things I enjoyed in this book. The settings... the wild west, the riverboat steamer. I liked that Jake was a riverboat gambler, I liked the time-travel theme. Ellie was a spunky heroine. Jake was an appealing, likable hero. I liked the touch of suspense this book also had.
A fun, sexy read!
This was an enjoyable follow-up to the connected story "Once An Outlaw" in the "Stolen From Time" Blaze series. ( )
