When history professor Alison Carter became a consultant to the film version of the Wild West legend she'd dedicated her career to researching, she couldn't possibly have known that she would not only get a front-row seat to a full-blown Hollywood circus but would innocently witness something that would put her life in peril. Nor did she expect that a tall stranger in a cowboy hat would turn the movie--and her world--completely upside down. A. J. Gallagher didn't crash the set in dusty Arizona to rub elbows with Hollywood's elite. Unable to ignore ghosts from the past that refuse to stay buried, A.J. came to put an end to the false legend that has tarnished the reputation of his family. But when he confronts Alison, sparks fly. And when Alison is targeted by ruthless criminals, suddenly she and A.J. must face the intense attraction that threatens to consume them--and survive the danger that threatens their very lives.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not my favorite, but always great writing and characters submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 11, 2014, 8:16pm I think so highly of Suz's stuff that this was a bit of a disappointment.

The writing and story were, as always, very well done. The characters are interesting and realistic. The conflicts are believable and lead the characters to new actions and perspectives.

But hero sees a ghost, and that ghost actually tells about a third of the story from his first-person POV. And the ghost can "travel" between different places related to his own and the hero's life, except for when he suddenly and unexpectedly gets transported to where a bad guy is doing a "bad thing." Huh? Even if I suspend disbelief enough to believe in a ghost the hero can see and hear, that plot device just doesn't hold water for me.

But even a "bad" book by Suzanne Brockmann is a good read, so I'm not sorry that I read it.
