After his train is robbed at gunpoint, Remington Frost awakens from a blow to find the bandits gone...along with the woman he was shadowing for protection.

My Thoughts:
A Touch of Frost
took me back to the old west back in 1800’s.
I’m always curious about how people lived and got by years ago, and it
was interesting to get a glimpse into that time. The old west ranch life is appealing to me,
and Colorado from the descriptions sounded like a beautiful place. Phoebe and
Remington’s romance captured my heart right away, and there was a bit of
suspense mixed in to keep the story exciting.
Phoebe has grown up in New York, her life revolving around
working stage/theater where her older sister, Fiona was a star for many years
only to give it up for a handsome older cowboy/widower, Thaddeus Frost. Wasn’t a huge fan of Phoebe’s sister, and her
drama, but by the end I could understand some
of it.
Phoebe takes the train out to join her sister out in
Colorado on the Twin Star Ranch only to be held up and abducted off the
train. Never fear, Phoebe’s brother-in-law
sent along his son, Remington, to watch over her, and make sure she makes it
safely to Twin Star.
Phoebe was a spunky heroine I immediately connected with. Loved
the banter between her and Remington!
They had great chemistry, and once their romance took off it was super hot!
Also, the men in historical romances never seem to have issues with committing
like modern day romances and that eliminates some of the frustration or
uncertainty I feel while reading contemporary romances. Once Remington got to know Phoebe he was
determined to stick by her.
There was some action, a few twists, and danger rounding out
this western historical romance quite nicely.
This is my first time reading Jo Goodman, so I was pleasantly surprised
to enjoy this as much as I did. I’ll be
checking her backlist for sure.
I enjoy this author's books and this one definitely had some suspense and fun moments. Great review, Rachel!
