Wild Roses takes place on the trail from Wyoming to Philadelphia. Ella Carson’s uncle is her guardian and wants her money so she fled to Wyoming where her aunt lives.
Three years later her uncle sends Harrigan Mahoney to bring her back. The Harrigan’s family business was stolen from them in an underhanded manner, so he really needs the money that this will bring him. Despite her arguments that Harrigan is taking Ella to her death, Harrigan finds a way to get her to Philly. Along the way, Ella’s Aunt Louise tries to thwart Harrigan’s efforts in many silly ways. She stops a train and tries to steal Ella back. During all of this, Harrigan admires Ella’s courage and strong personality. Ella comes to appreciate that Harrigan feels the need to help his family in their time of need. Through the bad times, tornado and illness, these two come to love each other.
This is a good interesting story, not a top ten kind of book, but solidly entertaining.
Happy reading!
