Westward Wedding Journey
Delsie Radford is going to make it to California, no matter the danger or difficulty. Her father may have kept her and her sister apart, but Delsie refuses to miss her sister's wedding—even with only eighteen days to get there. And she's found the perfect escort in Pony Express rider Myles Patton.
Myles can't believe it when a pretty socialite hires him to take her cross-country through rough terrain and dangerous territory. Surely she'll quit before they reach their destination—he's known girls like her before. But the longer they ride together, the more Myles notices Delsie's toughness and kindness beneath her polished exterior. And though they may be worlds apart…they might just be perfect for each other.
I wasn't sure when I started this book if I was going to love it or not. It took me a minute or two to settle in with the characters but I have to say that I ended up loving both Delsie and Myles. Stacy Henrie did a fantastic job of giving her characters depth and humanity. Their stories unfold gently and I felt like I was right there getting to know them.
Delsie is determined to make it to her sister's wedding. I love her fierce determination to keep her family intact. Delsie is ever so loyal to the people she loves and I love that. She is also smart and kind.
Myles comes off gruff and silent but I loved his layers and how his story made him into a man of respect. The journey across the country is one thing and the journey of Delsie and Myles is another thing. Two journey's in one.
I really loved this book. It was a great western historical fiction. Clean!
