Title: The Proposition
Author: Kate Bridges
Copyright: 2004, Harlequin
Setting: Calgary, in the 1890s
Why this book? I've read a couple of Ms. Bridges' books, and liked them to varying degrees. And her chosen setting -- Canadian historicals! -- is relatively rare, and rather distinctive.
What did I think of the book? Well, I never got past the first chapter. It wasn't bad, it just didn't hold my attention. This was one of the books I took with me on vacation, and I ended up enjoying some of those other books more. I set this one aside when I found a copy of Sweetheart at a local independent, and just never got back to it. I may pull it off the shelf again sometime, though.
Afterthought: I went to Ms. Bridges' website, intending to provide links, but discovered that most excerpt links on her backlist page are dead, which was a little irritating.
Title: The Proposition

Sergeant-Major Travis Reid was coldhearted trouble...but for the sake of the child she'd lost, Jessica Haven was ready to travel with a man who hated the sight of her. Still, the trail-toughened Mountie was her last, best hope for justice--and maybe her one true chance for love!
Travis Reid had been ready to dismiss Jessica Haven, the mayor's spoiled daughter, as the flighty society miss he remembered, concerned only with her own comfort. But the determined young woman surprised him with her unexpected verve and sensuality. And their trek across the wilderness was fast becoming a journey of the heart!
