RAINA’S CHOICE, the third installment in the Western Justice series just didn’t seem to have the same momentum as the previous two books.
RAINA will do anything to get away from her brutish
brother-in-law and the sordid Louisiana saloon she works in, even team up with
a stranger headed Fort Smith. Wanting to
find the father she’s never known, Raina is willing to confront the dangers of
Indian Territory with the help of Tyler Kincaid.
Tyler Kincaid has just broken out of a Mexican prison where
he was wrongfully imprisoned. Though he
is quite sick, his intentions are to team up with Judge Parker and become one
of his Marshal’s.
Knowing Kincaid is her only chance to get out from under the
thumb of her brother-in-law, Raina comes up with an idea to get Tyler out of
prison. As Tyler’s health weakens, Raina must nurse him back to health if they
hope to accomplish their goals.
Though I wanted to like RAINA’S CHOICE, I felt the
characters came across as pretty flat.
Their conversations seemed monotone, neither of them showed much
emotion. The story seemed to progress
slowly and without much excitement. The author
had all the right tools: desperate situations, love triangle, lives in danger-but
he didn’t take full advantage of these plotlines. I did appreciate the struggle Tyler had as he
came to grips with God and His plan for his life. But as for the rest of the story, I felt like
it went through the paces without really capitalizing on all the groundwork the
author laid out.
