The Outlaw's Second Chance by Angie Dicken ~ Reviewed







About the book:

When Cort Stanton and Aubrey Huxley try to claim the same land in the Oklahoma Land Run, Cort offers a deal--one that could help him keep his freedom. After taking the blame for his brother's crime, Cort needs to lie low, so he gives Aubrey the land for her horse ranch...if she'll hire him. Now he just has to avoid growing too close to the gorgeous seamstress, who can never know his secret.
Aubrey refuses to depend on any man, even one as handsome and kind as Cort. Yet, as they work together to make her dream a reality, it's impossible to imagine life on the prairie without him. And though Aubrey knows Cort has secrets that stand between them, she can't help but wish she could stake a claim on his heart.

My Thoughts:

Confession time. Until joining Ms. Dicken's street team I hadn't read a Love Inspired novel. Mainly because knowing that it is a Harlequin backed that romance line, I had the "notion" that these are nothing more than the dime store novels that are talked about in historical novels and ones my grandmother talked about. I couldn't have been more wrong. Forgive me, Angie Dicken!

In the short 288 pages the story is rich in detail and historical fact. Cort and Aubrey have secrets and are running from the past. The historical setting of the Oklahoma Land Run is not one that is prevalent in historical novels, one I don't know much about, and Ms. Dicken's uses it to set up a sweet romance, along with theme that our identities are in God. Aubrey is feisty, my kind of heroine, and Cort is tender. They are both relatable and believable characters. 

Now that my opinion of Love Inspired books, thank you, Angie Dicken, I will be reading more of them and definitely Ms. Dicken's books.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a review. I did not have to write a positive review. All thoughts expressed are mine alone. Highly recommended!
