Editorial Review:
Mercy Coltrane, a brash young American woman, travels to England to search for her estranged brother. Strident in her quest, she seeks out the help of Hart Moreland, whom she knew years ago as Duke the Gunslinger, the hired gun her father enlisted to protect his land. Now Earl of Perth, Hart is back in his native England in a hard-earned position of respect and power, and the last thing he wants is a reminder of his dishonorable past. But Mercy Coltrane proves to be much more than just a painful reminder of the life he left behind. Vibrant, beautiful, and witty, Mercy embodies the life of happiness that Hart desperately craves. Connie Brockway is an author who understands the underlying fantasy of romance and dazzles readers with her emotional perception of love. She writes with keen intelligence about the most important desires of the human heart.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The wild west and proper british society come together
I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. Having never heard of Brockway I didn't know what to expect, but she delivered with a witty novel that kept my attention the whole way through.
The mystery is quickly figured out but that doesn't detract from the story. The characters are nicely done, though there are a couple of groan worthy moments during the sex scenes where the purple prose gets a bit out of hand.
I like heroes who have believable flaws and Hart's was completely ... Read More
Rating:  - they were made for each other
This story was readable and had potential, but I had overwhelming problems with both the main characters:
Moreland was a stick in the mud (or he had a stick somewhere) which rendered him unlikeable. All he cared about was appearances --- a character flaw that was sometimes amusing and often irritating. His obsession with convention was worse than any sour spinster and rendered him just as manly. Doesn't everyone want a hero who says to hell with the rules? He may have been a dangerous man ...

Rating:  - stetsons, gunsligners & regency bodice rippers? Wow!
Thats it!
I MUST read slower! This gem from Connie Brockway is to be savoured, not sped through - how does one read slow enough to make a delightful book like this last a week, rather than a few hours?
A ridiculous combination of prim Regency & menacing Westerns turns into a magic mix in Brockways capable hands. Never too grim in spite of the sober & tormented Earl of Perth, Hart.
The delightfully articulate Merry Coltrane runs into Hart at a very proper country ... Read More
Rating: - Great book by a great author...
Couldn't get into this book for long time simply because the opening pages began as a western (I'm generally a regency only kinda gal)...so, consequently I missed out, for a long time, on a great book. There are some hilarious moments when the heroine, Mercy, is purposely getting titles wrong. Some sizziling moments that are drawn out, like the brush of a hand. And the hero's (Perth) love for the heroine is so desperate it makes your heart flutter. I have never been disappointed by Brockway. Why not ... Read More
Rating: - You know the saying "your past will catch up with you..."
Mercy Coltrane has arrived in England to look for her brother that mysteriously disappeared. There is one man that can help her - the hired gunslinger that went by Hart Moreland when working for her father on their Texas ranch. He later returned to England and Mercy is out to find him to help her. While staying at her hostess' home, this wealthy, striking in looks (men can't take their eyes off her), and strong-willed woman is introduced to the Earl of Perth - a mysterious, cold-hearted, emotionless, serious ...
