From the back cover:

A stranger's kiss...

Marriage seemed the only solution for Hannah Rose Brewster, whose fiery temper was the talk of four counties. So her family arranged a match and shipped her off to a one-horse cattle town on the Tex-Mex border. But fate had other plans, including a moonstruck night and a seductive stranger who steals her heart--and her honor--with his first soul-searing kiss.

Cool, rugged Luke Kincaid thought the beauty in his bed was a "birthday present" from the boys. She was a surprise, all right! The Kincaids and the Brewsters had been feuding for decades. Luke savored his forbidden prize until the day he discovered she'd run away. Suddenly he knew he'd do anything to bring her back...to trade all the bitter hatred of the past for a lifetime of love, wild passion and sweet Hannah Rose.

And my review:

Just to begin, I will state that this book was written before the author's conversion to Christianity, so this is not an inspirational romance, it's a typical historical romance, complete with sex scenes, and sex that occurs outside of marriage. So if you are a fan of her later inspirational works, this is not the book for you.

I hardly know where to begin with what I didn't like about this novel. First off, I couldn't stand the heroine. She was such a brat! She acted like a child, complete with tantrums and foot-stamping when she didn't get her way. She looked down her nose at everyone constantly. She was rude and expected everyone to jump in line when she snapped her fingers. There's a difference between a spirited heroine and a shrewish one. This one belonged to latter group.

Then, when the hero finds the heroine asleep in his bed (due to a mixup, she thinks she's in her own private room in her fiance's house) he has sex with her while she's sleeping. Don't even get me started on that. Following typical romance formula, the heroine then turns from an innocent into a nympho. The mistake in identity is discovered and the two are forced to get married.

**Spoiler alert!**

The final commmitment doesn't come until the very last sentence of the book. The "I love you"s don't come until the last page! That's a long time to wait. There was tons of space dedicated to them fighting like cats in a sack, and then they reconcile and decide to be together so fast that you'll miss it if you blink. I never felt like there was any time to enjoy their relationship, since it was always on the verge of falling apart. They were happy together for maybe two pages out of the whole book. I read romance for the tender moments, and I felt very short-changed.
