Tempest (Old West Book 3) Kindle Edition
From USA Today Bestselling Author Beverly Jenkins comes a new novel in a mesmerizing series set in the Old West, where an arranged marriage becomes a grand passion . . .
What kind of mail-order bride greets her intended with a bullet instead of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael—an independent spirit equally at home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a man she’s never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze.
Regan’s far from the docile bride Colton was expecting. Still, few women would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an uncertain future with a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman like Regan in his life—and in his arms—begins to inspire a new dream. And despite his family’s disapproval and an unseen enemy, he’ll risk all to make this match a real union of body and soul.

CHARACTERS
Tempest is the final installment of The Old West series (at least this is what I call the series). We met Regan in the following books FORBIDDEN and BREATHLESS.

Colton Lee is dealing with the death of his wife and trying to raise their six-year-old daughter, Colton is known for his old fashion beliefs and he is looking for a wife with the value. Regan & Colton first meeting does not fare well. No spoiler, but let just say that Regan was the opposite of Colton thought his mail order bride to be. Regan is an independent woman who is comfortable in a pair of jean who does not mind doing her share of work around the house. Colton is starting to believe he made a mistake with Regan, but he does come around and decide to give the marriage a try. Colton starts to see the change in Ana as her and Regan began spending time together. He now sees a happy child in Ana who is given the opportunity to be a child and have fun. Colton and Regan relationship also change you see the Colton who have begun to fall in love with his wife.
The secondary characters in the story also keep the flow of the story going. order bride.

UrbanDivaz Reviews
Double thanks for the reunion at the end. I loved seeing the characters from the first two books one more time.
I can't wait to read Ms. Jenkins' next work of fiction. I highly recommend!
Loved the little town of Paradise and it's townspeople. The way that they worked, lived, and celebrated together despite being of different races was wonderful, especially given the times. Absolutely loved Spring. I was hoping that she'd find a partner (had my eye on Ed Prescott), but I know our girl will be just fine. My heart went out to poor little Felicity, because she has a witch of a mama. Wish we could've seen Ben come around, but I suspect he's too old and stuck in his ways.
Thanks for including Regan's family reunion. It was great to see everybody and a wonderful way to end the book.
Excellent read!
This novel features the story of Regan, a wealthy young lady from Arizona territory who decides to be a male order bride for the sake of adventure meets Colt, widowered Wyoming Territory Doctor and single father who’s still very much married to the memory of his late wife. It’s very much on topic with this American historical western sub-genre of romance but there are additional themes of discrimination, suffrage, and a plot that considers that different races of people experienced history differently. I really appreciate the study notes that Beverly Jenkins our at the end to read further on the history. All of this said, don’t feel like this is a dark sort of serious books that sacrifices romance for pedantic history. This book is sweet and entertaining but it also acknowledges the past in a wholistic way and there’s nothing more you can ask from a historical romance. Highly recommend this and hunting down more books from this author.

I really enjoyed the leads couple, though by the end they were both a little too perfect for my tastes. The doctor lead was the weaker of the character but the feistiness and confidence of our heroine carried the book.
Overall, I enjoyed the book except for the last 20% where the plot faltered. The lead couple refreshingly declared their love for each other so there was little tension left in the plot. Despite enjoying seeing glimpses of history the focus seemed to be less on our leads and more on the history. It was lopsided as the leads take a significant back-seat. The wrap up of the mystery menace especially was so rushed that I finished with a slightly off taste. I did feel like skipping to the end but I refrained.
Nonetheless, I would still strongly recommend this. Plus, I liked the cover as the guy was hot so extra bonus points for that!
