Redeeming Love by Sophie Dawson and George McVey takes readers on an adventure to Cottonwood. Deputy U.S. Marshal Timothy Dillion is haunted by the fact that love has been ripped out of his grasp twice by Diamond Dale and his band of outlaws. He plans on guarding his heart from that pain again, but more than that, he doesn't want to put any other woman in jeopardy. Imagine his surprise when he and his friend Marshal Nathan Ryder and Nathan's wife Grace travel to Cottonwood to visit Nathan's aunt and learn that Diamond Dale has robbed the bank and taken Nell Shaw, the town nurse, hostage. They immediately set out to rescue her, but she gets away all on her own. However, Timothy vows to keep her safe no matter what, even if that means shadowing her every move. When Nell's dad comes back to town, it isn't only Diamond Dale that Timothy must protect her from. Nell is far from happy that Timothy is watching her, but as they start to spend time together, feelings develop. Yet neither one is ready to accept what might be growing between them. Can love heal the past hurts that these two carry?
I have been a fan of Sophie Dawson and her Cottonwood series from the beginning so I was excited to return to the town where the characters have become like family. That said, it took me a bit to get up to speed with Redeeming Love because I wasn't familiar with the characters from the Redemption series. It didn't take long to get the back stories of the characters though, and the blending of the two series worked perfectly. I love the historical Christian feel of the story, but we also get an accurate look at how the west really was, with outlaws and gunfights, and also the faith and love of a close-knit community. I loved reconnecting with the residents of Cottonwood, especially Aggie, and I really enjoyed learning more about Nugget Nate. More than just another historical romance, Redeeming Love has plenty of twists and lots of action, along with a bit of humor, and characters that will grip your heart and not let go! Anyone looking for a good, clean historical romance will find it with Redeeming Love by Sophie Dawson and George McVey.
