Blurb:

U.S. Marshal Chase Reynolds is on a mission—to track down an escaped train robber, even if it takes him into the wilds of Canada! Hot on the outlaw’s trail, he follows him into the Canadian West—and encounters more than he bargained for when he’s taken prisoner by a beautiful woman.

Sara Cranston is trying to hold on to her ranch that a band of outlaws is determined to steal from her. A woman alone, she’s “easy pickin’s”—and this ruthless crew is after more than the ranch—there’s a legend of buried gold hidden somewhere on her land.

Sara and Chase have a shared past—one that is full of lies and secrets…and love. Seventeen years have gone by, and the passion is still there between them—but will deceit and mistrust keep them from the happiness they both crave?

Chase has a duty to bring in the outlaws, but now he must work fast to do it before they murder the woman he loves. Can he convince her the future is still theirs for the taking if they only survive to enjoy it? Anything can happen BENEATH A HORSE-THIEF MOON…

My review:

Anything worth having is worth fighting for -- and oh my goodness, did Chase have a fight on his hands to win his Sara and claim their hea!! But it was one that had amazing rewards and was so desperately needed for both of them.

I was immediately hooked once I started this book and I didn't want to have to put it down! This story delivered on all the emotions - laughter and swooning, sorrow and triumph. And getting to watch that connection between Sara and Chase as it sizzled and sparked....sometimes hot, sometimes cold, but always undeniable, so totally worth it!

I loved Chase's heart and stubbornness. He was the perfect compliment to Sara. He made me laugh and happy sigh over and over again.

I loved Sara's heart and strength. She held things together and refused to be beaten down. Her heart was so filled with love that despite the way she struggled with expressing it, it was a thing of beauty.

I needed a moment to catch my breath after experiencing Chase and Sara's journey to their happily ever after. This is definitely one story that will stick with me and has a place on my favorites shelf.

And I'm not the only one who loves it! 

I loved this heartwarming adventure from talented debut author Elizabeth Clements.

    1. Thank you, Patti. This story has lived with me for a long time and thus I'm thrilled to share it with everyone. I hope you can visit the website my son created for me because then you'll see why Sara hangs on to her ranch when she could have an easier life (perhaps) in a city. When you see the panorama the reader can understand why her ranch is hidden in the coulees. And I agree with you about Michelle. Her enthusiasm and love of romance is a great asset to every writer at PRP. https://www.elizabethclements.com/

  3. Congratulations, Elizabeth. Does the trilogy need to be read in a certain order?

    It's always so uplifting and encouraging when an author receives a good review for a book. All that hard word deserves a reward of praise.

    All the best to you, Elizabeth.

    1. Thank you, Sarah. Each book is a stand-alone, so they can be read out of order. When I began BAHTM, I had no idea it would turn into a trilogy. But I felt in love with that rascal, Mike, so had to write his story. Then Josh demanded his story and well....how can a poor gal resist his devilish grin? Sarah, I was thrilled when Michelle contacted me and offered to write a review, but I was blown away with her comments. She made me grin all over my face. Thanks, Michelle!
