"Great romance"
In 1878 Harriet Jackson has been in love with Elijah Kelly
forever, but he married Jordan Braddock. Stunned and
dismayed, Harriet becomes engaged to Colorado's number one
bachelor, wealthy Ash Brady. Her doubts about her future
relationship rise as the ceremony gets closer. She wonders
whether the groom will ever love the real Harriet or is he
fulfilling an obligation with a societal trophy especially
since he openly condemns her family? Elizabeth "Lissy" Woodfin arrives in the Wyoming Territory
seeking Elijah and his brother former Captain Malachi Kelly
of the Seventh Cavalry to help her. Malachi wants nothing
to do with the only woman he ever loved, but cannot resist
helping her especially when "Harry" also comes to enlist
his aid. As they share an adventure, Malachi wonders why
he thought of Harriet as his pal Harry because he is
falling in love with the woman who once worshipped his
sibling. Americana romance readers will relish COLORADO SUNRISE, a
tale that emphasizes loyalty especially to loved one and
friends even when the individual risks all they cherish in
order to
help. The characters make the plot as the key players come
across fully developed, pushing the romance into a backseat
yet turning the growing love between Malachi and Harriet
into a beautiful realistic story line. Tess Pendergrass
provides a delightful charmer with the third Colorado
trilogy novel. Harriet Klausner
