Book Review: Colorado Silver, Colorado Gold

What would you do to protect the one you love? Would you take and run away with incriminating evidence to keep your loved one safe? Well in the book, Colorado Silver , Colorado Gold by Terry Irene Blain, the main character Juliette does just that. Here is a brief summary of the story.

Socialite Juliette Lawson fled west from Philadelphia on a train and in disguise. In Colorado she’d be safe; she’d take work with her uncle at the Rio d’Oro, his smelting operation. Her actions back east had been wrong, but to protect her pregnant sister from scandal she would have done anything. Then she met a man as hungry for answers as she was for independence. A handsome, honorable man. For him, she wished the truth was hers to tell.

From the first, Wes Westmoreland knew he couldn’t trust her. Having grown up in the saloons and brothels of San Francisco, he saw trust, like love, as a luxury an undercover lawman couldn’t afford. Not on a job like this one, not with gold involved. This woman dressed as a widow was clearly hiding something; he’d felt it the moment they touched. But he’d felt other things too, stirrings in his heart, and for the first time ever, he saw riches worth the peril.

I  loved this book. It is in one word a romance novel but not one that has so much smut in it that you can get past that to see the tenderness of love. I love how Wes and Juliette try to fight their feelings for each other because they both were hiding items from their past that they were not willing to share with the other. They were so afraid that the other would not understand that they almost missed out on the chance to  find happiness and love with one another and to right past wrongs. The main thing that I got from this book is not to judge people by what they did in their past but instead judge them by what they are doing in their present. People can change but we have to be willing to accept the changes that they have made and not judge because of their past mistakes.

You can find this book at Amazon.
