The renegade cowboy returns
It’s been nine years since Trask Beaumont left Gilt Edge,
Montana, with an unsolved crime in his wake, and Lillian Cahill has convinced
herself she’s finally over him. But when the rugged cowboy with the easy smile
suddenly shows up at her bar, there’s a pang in her heart arguing the
attraction never faded. And that’s dangerous, because Trask has returned on a
mission to clear his name and win Lillie back.
Tired of running, Trask knows he must uncover the truth of
the past before he can hope for a future with the woman he’s never forgotten.
But if Lillie’s older brother, the sheriff, learns that Trask is back in town,
he’ll arrest him for murder. Now Trask is looking for a showdown, and he won’t
leave town again without one—or without Lillie.
Renegade's Pride is the first in a new series about the Cahill siblings. In this first one, the love of Lillie's life left 9 years before accused of murder. Now he is back to clear his name and win Lillie back. I admit to having a little bit of a hard time getting into this book, but in the end I enjoyed the mystery of who really killed Gordon, Trask's boss.
I thought the mystery was interesting. I didn't see the solution coming. I just wish there had been more of a prologue or background on the murder in the beginning of the book. In fact, the opening scene had nothing to do with the rest of the story. So, there were times when I felt like I was missing some back story even though this is a first book. As for the romance, it was a little underwhelming for me. Again, I felt like I needed more back story. Maybe some flashback scenes so I could see how much they had been in love 9 years before, instead of being told about it.
This is very much the beginning of a series. We are introduced to a lot of characters and there are some story lines that seem will be resolved in later books. Had the book focused more on Trask and Lillie's relationship, I would have enjoyed the romance more. I do want to read Darby's story. It should be interesting seeing him fall in love finally.
