Wednesdays I’ll be featuring authors from a Facebook group I am a part of Pioneer Hearts. The authors at Pioneer Hearts have two things in common, we write historical Westerns and we write Romance. You can find almost any heat level there that you’re looking for except erotica. Because of this fact, I’ve added a new little icon on the bottom of my Western reviews, a heat level. So you as a reader know what to expect.
Twice Redeemed
*South of the Border Suspense* *Christian Undertone*
Who will save her from herself?
After helping another girl escape, Mercedes Nobles suffers unspeakable abuse at the Jericho saloon. So when a familiar cowboy rides into town, she jumps at the opportunity to start a new life… even though she carries a secret that could destroy any chance of happiness for either of them.
John Durbin may have turned in his badge, but he still lives by a certain code of honor. That includes returning to a seedy Mexican cantina to rescue a woman who helped his friends escape. However, the tables turn and he finds himself getting married “in name only.”
Struggling with cultural differences, they question how the marriage can survive. Will John sacrifice his faith to make his new wife happy? How will Mercedes redeem herself when John learns of the secret she’s hiding?
*Authentic Mexican recipes found at the end of the book.*

Heat Rating: 2 flames
There are some serious themes in this novel and I don’t recommend this book for under 16-year-olds, but for mature readers, this is a wonderful story with excellent biblical truth.
Mimi, Congratulations. So glad you found your calling and have the chance to share it with the world. Wishing you all the best. Angela Raines
