The Book Junkie
Reads . . . Review of . . . TEMPEST (Old West, #3) . . .
Not
disappointed. Not even a little bit. I love when Beverly Jenkins open the doors
to a new venture back in time. This time we are served a sensual journey to
love in the wilds of Wyoming. We have a beautiful little girl in need of love from a woman that understands her. We have a girl that has grown to a woman before our eyes (through the series) and wants love. What she finds does not do it for her? Regan is strong and determined to maker her own happily love ever after. Then we have a man that just wants a mother for his daughter and vows to never love again. The story builds slow and grows with warmth, friendship, love, passion, connection, family.
Regan was strong in mind, body, and spirit.
She was determined to be herself and do what she knew would make her happy. She
was not the traditional heroine. She wanted love. She was not the traditional
little demure woman of the west. She was in her own right wealthy. She would
spend her money her way. She was just more.
Colton had me wanting to just let lose a can
of whoop azz on him. He was stuck up, uptight, snooty, dare I say pr!ck. I wanted to love him right away, but as the
story was a slow build. I began to love him slowly. Regan was the key to opening
him up. She did wonders for him and his daughter.
I’ve waited a long time to watch all the
women from this series to grow up and get their own HEA. Now that I have it for
each of them I’m ready for the next historical romance series that BJ wants to
send out into the world.
**Side note: I did find there were a few
small issues with keeping up with who was saying what in several places. I
found that I was needing to adjust to somethings in one place only to be in a completely
different place and or time. There is drama, passion, compassion, angst, rivalry,
and jealousy. I very much enjoyed this read. I have enjoyed each of the three
books of this series.

BLURB
What kind of mail-order bride greets her
intended with a bullet instead of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael—an
independent spirit equally at home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton
Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire
plan to marry a man she’s never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart
along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his
daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze.
Regan’s far from the docile bride Colton was
expecting. Still, few women would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an
uncertain future with a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold,
forthright woman like Regan in his life—and in his arms—begins to inspire a new
dream. And despite his family’s disapproval and an unseen enemy, he’ll risk all
to make this match a real union of body and soul.

EXCERPT
“Being
shot tends to make a man short-tempered. . .”
She
held his gaze unflinchingly. Despite his doubts concerning her suitability,
Colt found himself drawn to the determination she radiated.
“I
can cook, set a proper table, and have impeccable manners. I speak English and
Spanish. I hunt, fish, swim, and ride. I’d hoped to find a husband who’d view
these qualities as assets, but if you’re seeking what society considers a
proper wife who’ll defer to you in all things, and spend time sitting in a
rocker with an embroidery hoop in her hand, you should say so and I’ll return
to Arizona.”
Colt
blinked. He didn’t know any woman with the pluck to toss down a gauntlet so
effortlessly. Life with her would be neither easy nor boring.
