Description

Bringing back the old west — a box set for lovers of western historical romances. Two great, award-winning reads from NY Times bestselling author Cathy McDavid.

The Gate to Eden

STEALING HIS HEART. Crack shot Maddie Campbell isn't your ordinary thief. She'll do she'll do anything to insure the safety and survival of her young daughter and the three hundred other widows and orphans left homeless and penniless after a horrific mining accident—including convincing those responsible for the accident to "donate" to the cause. Maddie and her merry band have been getting cleanly away with their thefts until the day former sheriff Scott McSween arrives in town.

He's been hired by the mining company owner to bring an end to the crime spree. Despite her efforts to throw him off track, he's convinced Maddie is connected to the robberies. Determined to draw out all her secrets, he plies her with soft caresses, passionate kisses, and nights spent exploring her body in ways no man has previously dared. But when confronted with a truth that can't be denied, Scott must choose between the woman he loves and the law he's sworn to uphold.

Christmas in Paradise

The 1916 holiday season doesn't make everyone in the desert community of Paradise, Arizona happy. Millie Berinhard dreams of an impetuous suitor who will sweep her off her feet with grand gestures. Steady, dependable William Dunlap is nothing like Millie's ideal man. Or is there more to him than meets the eye?

Gate to Eden: Maddie Campbell and former sheriff Scotty McSween are magnetic together. Readers will have trouble putting their kindle’s down til the end.

Christmas in Paradise: Millie Berinhard and William Dunlap share a relatively short but sweet story story.

Two very good stories that I enjoyed reading. Story one is The Gate to Eden that once I started I was not putting down, Maddie Campbell and former sheriff Scott McSween's kept me turning pages. Story two Christmas in Paradise is Millie Berinhard and store manager William Dunlap this is a short story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I liked both these stories. They showed both ways that mine owners could choose to treat their miners. In The Gate to Eden, it showed the cruel way some mine owners behaved, without a care for the miners and their families. I liked how Maddie and Scott interacted with each other. She was a strong lead character and I liked how the author didn't make her weak and needy.

The Christmas in Paradise book showed how some mine owners took care of the miners and their families. The romance between Millie and William was sweet and believable.

First Story....."The Gate to Eden and Christmas in Paradise" by Cathy McDavid

My Thoughts.....

"The Gate to Eden" was quite a interesting read in that it proved in the end that everything can be made right. For Maddie Campbell had a hard life and even more after her husband had died leaving her with a beautiful daughter. However, for Maddie had even more on her shoulders...'three hundred other widows and orphans who had been left homeless and penniless after a horrific mining accident.' This will be quite a intriguing story in how this situation seemed to be headed for Maddie along with her 'merry band who had been getting cleanly away with their thefts until a certain former sheriff Scott McSween comes to their mining town.' Why was McSween there and who was that horrible person her worked for? Well it seems like he had been hired to find how out who was responsible for these robberies. Who would have thought that Maddie and her merry band would have been responsible for these robberies? However, it seems like there was a reason for this madness, however, it also seems like Maddie had caught McSween's eyes and oh how he was very interested in getting to know this Maddie Campbell. But it will be hard for McSween to get to know Maddie especially in 'The Gate to Eden.' Now why was that? Any way this story will go on where there will be a meeting, then on to hot steamy kisses and more that then by the time all of the secrets have come out it seems like Maddie may have gotten into more trouble than she was able to get out of without help. So, in the end we find that McSween will have to 'choose between the woman he loves and the law he's sworn to uphold.' To find out how this engaging story will all come out you will have to pick up "The Gate to Eden" to find out how well this author delivers brings it all out to the reader. It was indeed a good read that will keep your attention to the very end.

Second Story...Christmas in Paradise

Why wasn't Millie Berinhard happy about living 'in the desert community of Paradise? Millie's father had moved to this area after his wife died and Millie was lonely for her mom and didn't really like living in a mining town definitely missing the snow in the winter. Millie was at the age for marriage but it seemed like there was no interest in the miners even though her sister [Alice] 'had married and expecting. Well, it seems like Millie's father thought that it was time for her to get interested in marriage and invited a certain William Dunlap [who wasn't a miner but a store manager] for dinner. During this time Millie was surprise how well this dinner had gone and William also invited Millie to a Christmas party that was being hosted by The Copper King Mining Company and she excepted a dance with him. Is Millie beginning to have feelings for William?

From that visit the story will take a turn with there being an explosion at mines that will cause quite a scare however, all seems to have come out OK from this situation. What had Millie really missed from being back in her home town of Morgan County?

What will William Dunlap do for Millie for Christmas? Well, it will be very special gift for her in that this was what she had truly missed mostly from the area where she used to live. Will Millie find happiness this "Christmas in Paradise?' To find out what it was you will have to pick up this short well written beautiful story of "Christmas in Paradise" to see how this author gives the reader.
