Book Review - Wanted Dead or Alive

About the Book

Auden Steele can ride, rope, and shoot with the best of them, but one thing she can’t do is set back time—if she could, she would. A terrible accident two years earlier left her a widow after only two weeks of marriage.

She has dedicated herself to be a widow with no hope of ever marrying again until a cougar attack sends one of the most attractive and interesting men she has ever met into her life. Lance Wheeler is a game warden. He loves the animals and the solitude of his job but the attack in Washington has his department sending him out as a cougar specialist.

A two day drive, a wanted poster, and a fist fight finds him face to face with one of the most alluring women he has ever met. But he soon learns she is hardened by life and death and they are after the same thing out on the range—him with a tranquilizer gun and her with a real one.

A dangerous hunt and a terrible accident places them in each other’s arms; however, they still have one problem, Lance needs the cougar alive and Auden wants him dead.

Can they come to an agreement before one of them does something that can’t be undone?

My Take on the Book
This is a great story of transformation and acceptance! The author has shared some strong characters within the book that truly draw you in. The book is full of adventure and intrigue and you are always wondering what will happen next. One of the things that I loved about this book was the strong female lead character that Ms. Nelson shares with the reader. As a father of girls, I am always looking for strong female characters that can share important lessons with other women and this character definitely does that! All-in-all this was a great book that will draw you in for more with every page that you read.
