THE BOUNTY HUNTER'S SURRENDER by Kylee Woodley, Reviewed by Trixi Oberembt #ReleaseDay

OUTLAW HEARTS BOOK TWO

TRIXI'S REVIEW:
"Our worth is found in God, not the good or bad things we do." ~Aubrey

This is my favorite quote from the book because it’s a lesson Nathan learns as the story progresses. He might have been an outlaw in the past, but realizing his mistakes he tries to run away. In spite of this, he’s set his mind to be a better person, especially now that he has a young niece to provide and care for. Taking a job protecting the pregnant widowed Aubrey Willott helps in achieving that task. But danger lurks around the corner in ways neither one anticipates and Nathan finds himself falling for the beautiful widow. Can he protect both her and her unborn child before it’s too late?

I really enjoyed this story and the characters Kylee created! It’s full of exciting adventure, intrigue, mystery, and just enough danger to keep the reader turning the pages to see what happens. I also loved seeing their romance play out and anticipated their happily-ever-after ... ok, maybe I peeked at the end to make sure there was one (lol). It’s because I was rooting for them throughout the whole book! 

The author also incorporated historical facts (you can read those at the end in the Historical Notes section) which I was pleased to learn. And finally, the faith thread is much appreciated. In the quote I include in my review, it also helped remind me that my past choices don’t make me unworthy of God’s love. I love that Aubrey plays a part in reminding Nathan of this truth too! The whole story was enjoyable, fascinating and was a great way to escape reality for a few hours (or days).

BackCover Blurb:
An expecting widow, a rugged bounty hunter, and a set of secrets that might shatter her fragile heart.

The death of Aubrey Willot’s wealthy but abusive husband left her with an unborn child, an empty chateau, and the last name of a criminal. When she learns he double-crossed a ruthless business associate, she’s forced to accept the protection of the handsome and daring bounty hunter tasked with finding her late husband’s fortune. Though Aubrey swore never to trust another man, she can’t help but be drawn to the bounty hunter’s rugged charm.

After a tragic mistake cost him everything, Nathan Reed spent years running from his past. Now, he needs funds to care for his orphaned niece, and quickly. The chance to retrieve a set of stolen documents offers an opportunity he can’t resist. He’ll find those papers and claim the reward, even if it means deceiving the alluring young widow.

As danger rises, Aubrey’s strength, honesty, and compassion break down Nathan’s defenses, daring him to embrace a future he never imagined—a loving wife and a family of his own. But when his secrets are exposed, will his chance at redemption and Aubrey's heart slip through his fingers?
