Montana Territory, 1867

Graham Patterson, an accomplished veterinarian, is leaving Seattle and heading east to start a new life for himself. Opportunities abound for men who understand how to make the land work for them, rather than work the land. But after he overhears two scoundrels plotting to take advantage of a lonely spinster, his well-laid plans go awry.

Willow Bennet lives just outside the town of Whitcomb Springs with only her beloved dog to keep her company. It’s a predictable life, until late one night when she foils an attack and her dog is wounded as revenge.

Can she trust the mysterious stranger who insists he can help?

For a cozy little Western, this one has setting, characters, and action wrapped up in a story that will leave readers satisfied. Montana is the place, and the time is the late 1860s. Graham is an interesting fellow, and he is lost in the wilderness. He runs into two “helpful” men who give him food, Kit and Andrew. The guys seem nice enough, but are they really? A banker oddly runs into them in this setting. He will come into play later, as a reader might suspect. This innocent meeting of characters is a good set-up for the controversy to come.

Christi Corbett uses terminology and descriptions that are so natural, one falls right into the story. With dialogue perfect for the setting, a reader goes along for the ride with Graham and overhears the sinister plans of others. But what can one man do to stop them? When he hears that they plan on hurting an innocent woman, Graham knows he must do something, so he follows them. When the men prepare to attack a woman who lives on her own with only a dog, some unexpected things happen—a twist in the plot. Graham gets bold here, and we see him in action. As he deals with the fallout from the men’s attack, we learn that he has a cool job. He goes to work. During this time, his character and that of others is further developed. He grows closer to the woman, Willow.

During this feel-good story, we are treated to little tidbits of medical knowledge, nothing too technical, just interesting. When Graham goes to town for supplies, men surround him, thinking he robbed the bank. One thing after another happens, keeping the suspense rolling. Since Graham won’t say he was with Willow, helping her out overnight, because it would ruin her reputation, it looks like this just might be the end for him. Prosecution for a good man seems likely.

The author has done a good job of keeping the story moving along and showing the characters in tough situations. We also see some character growth for secondary characters. This tale is a good read that I would recommend to those who love historically set stories, especially Westerns.
