Can an outlaw find love and happiness when his life is
nothing but a lie?
Springtime in Colorado, 1885. Johnny Paynter is accused
of a murder and flees towards his brother’s ranch in Texas. Although when he
arrives, he finds his brother Mark dead! Folk in town think that Johnny is
Mark, and Johnny doesn’t correct them. He begins to start a new life as Mark
and things go rather well. Until he finds out that Mark has a mail order bride
on her way to Texas. Deciding that there is nothing else to do, he takes Sally
as his wife and continues life as Mark Paynter. With a relationship founded on
lies, how can it survive?
The foundation of any relationship should be founded on
truth and honesty. If it isn’t, there is much turmoil working through the mess.
But there is always hope, the Lord can heal the hurt and His mercies are new
every day. We can always begin again. I have enjoyed both books that I have
read by Susan Page Davis now. The Outlaw
Takes a Bride is a western
romance, with really good Christian principles. She reminds us that we should strive to live an honest life, but even when we mess things up, the Lord is there to forgive and restore what has been broken. This book is action packed with bandits, touching and romantic, and an overall good read!

I received a free digital copy of The Outlaw Takes a Bride from Barbour Publishing, Inc. through
NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
