My husband and I took a bag of books to the airport today to leave on the USO bookshelf. Somehow, a few different books managed to make their way home with us.

Thank you, Southernfryed, for this book, one of three included in my US Secret Santa package. I look forward to reading it!

Nice seasonal read. I haven't read many books set in this time period in the U.S., especially "Westerns", so it was interesting in that respect. Though there was a bit more violence than I would have liked, the suspense kept me turning the pages. I will probably look for others in this series.

Amazon description:
The families Jensen and MacCallister are two of the most legendary clans in frontier fiction. Now, the USA Today bestselling authors of A Lone Star Christmas bring them together once more--in a gripping tale of tragedy, survival, love, betrayal, and maybe even a miracle. . .

Three days before Christmas, Matt Jensen is traveling the Denver and Pacific railway when an avalanche slams down onto the train, trapping it in desolate Trout Creek Pass. But it wasn't an act of nature that caused the accident; it was a gang of outlaws attempting to rescue their leader, who is being taken to Red Cliff to be hanged.

As Smoke Jensen and Duff MacCallister frantically try to make their way to the scene, Matt struggles to save the survivors, among them a beautiful young woman with a dark past, a merchant seaman turned rancher, and a senator with his very ill young daughter. Starving under a bitter, driving snow in the brutal, unforgiving Rocky Mountains, and surrounded by armed and desperate outlaws, Matt still dreams of making it home for Christmas. But unless fate lends a hand, nobody will.

Hope it finds a new reader!
