Book Description
The next in Kaki Warner's sweeping new series about unlikely brides who make their way west-discovering newfound freedom and rediscovering love...
After only three letters and one visit during her six-year marriage to a Scottish Cavalry Officer, Maddie Wallace decides to build a life without him. Accepting an assignment from a London periodical to photograph the West from a female perspective, she sails from England, determined to build a new life as an independent woman.
After injury ends his military career, Angus Wallace returns home to find his wife gone, his family decimated by fever, and himself next in line to an earldom. His new mission is clear--find his wife and sire heirs. His search takes him across an ocean and half a continent, but he finally tracks her to Heartbreak Creek, Colorado. There his biggest challenge awaits--to convince his headstrong wife to return home as his viscountess.
Amidst statehood struggles, claim jumping, and railroad disputes their passionate battle rages...until word comes that Angus has become the earl. Now they must decide between a life in the mountains of Colorado, or in the glittering ballrooms of London...and between duty and desire.

wonderful second chance at love Americana tale, Jan 3 2012
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Colorado Dawn (Paperback)
In 1868 after six-years of a non-existing marriage to Scottish Cavalry Officer Angus Wallace in which she seen him once for a short visit and only three paltry and none recent letters, Madeline decides enough moping. She accepts a position as a photographer for the Illustrated London News. Editor Mr. Chesterfield assigns her to take pictures of the American West as he believes his readers will enjoy the distaff perspective.After months of recovering from war injuries and becoming an earl as his family was decimated by illness, Angus returns home looking forward to being with his Maddie. However, he is shocked when he arrives to learn she is on the other side of the pond. Angus follows his wife's tail until he encounters her Heartbreak Creek Colorado. She orders her mate to go home as she refuses to accompany him. As he courts his spouse whom he neglected but loves, Angus also must keep her safe from deadly outlaws and amoral upright citizens with avarice agendas.
The latest Runaway Brides historical romance (see Heartbreak Creek) is a wonderful second chance at love Americana tale. The two Scottish aristocrats come across somewhat as fresh fish swimming in the ocean. Their loving antics in the forefront of a vivid post Civil War Colorado Territory tale turns into an exciting action-packed western romance.

This review is from: Colorado Dawn (Paperback)
I've read (and own) the entire Blood Rose Trilogy, and couldn't wait to get my hands on Kaki's next series, The Runaway Brides.Colorado Dawn features Kaki's special brand of humor, and storylines packed with so much intrigue you're certain to keep the pages turning long into the night.
I highly recommend!

Colorado Dawn, an amazing read!, Jan 15 2012
By Macmom "Scot" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Colorado Dawn (Paperback)
I just finished Colorado Dawn and believe it to be the best of all the 5 so far. I love Angus and Maggie. (who doesn't love a Scot?) They have the juice to keep any romantic heart going without all the minute details. Kaki just keeps getting better. I can't wait for the next installment!!! I'm seriously hooked on Pru and Thomas...I'm hoping their story will flush out with the third Heartbreak Creek book along with Lucinda's story!! The humor, romance, mystery and suspense are nice fresh pieces of the pie that she has baked into each one of her books. Keep them coming Kaki, I'll keep on reading!!!!
Listmania!
