1st book in the Slater brother's trilogy. After reading this, I look forward to reading the remaining 2 - Malachi's story: RIDES A HERO, and then Jaime's: APACHE SUMMER. I only hope they will be at least as good (don't know how they can get better than this one).
DARK STRANGER is a tight story that primarily takes place on the McCahy ranch on the Kansas/Missouri border during the last year or two of the Civil war. The characters are all marked by the effects of this war; secrets, hatred, killing, horror - drawing in secondary characters from the murderous bushwackers, jayhawkers and Quantrille's raiders.
This book is very good and the writing is outstanding. The wounds on the soul and mind of the lead (Cole Slater) is easy to emotionally understand, as well as the lead's (Kristin McCahy). Their journey to their HEA is colored by the effects of the Civil war time frame and I thought their thoughts and reactions normal and based on what one would actually think and feel given similar circumstances.
Straight through to the last page read for me. If all books in the trilogy are as good, it will be another Heather Graham series keeper for me.
