Musings
This is not the first book I have read by Hildie McQueen, and
it will not be the last. I’ve been hooked on her writing ever since I read Where
the Four Winds Collide. Whether she is writing a Scottish Highland
romance, a contemporary one, or a sweet western, she will delight a reader’s
heart. The Widow’s Choice is a sweet western romance with a strong
heroine and an amazing hero. This is a great start on a new series for Ms.
McQueen and I look forward to reading Jerrick’s story.
While getting the lay of the land before he buys a ranch in
Colter Valley, Rafe Preston accepts a job working for the widow, Charlotte
Kennedy, known as Charlie by all her close friends. At first the lovely widow keeps
her distance, but as attraction grows between the couple, love flourishes.
When danger comes a calling, Rafe rushes in to save Charlie,
but will he make it in time, or lose the only woman he can ever love?
Not only does McQueen write unforgettable characters, she
writes interesting secondary characters that enliven her stories. That is the
case with The Widow’s Choice, from the cantankerous Joe to the
sweet-natured Mary Ellen. This is definitely going to be a delightful series
centered on a cast of characters in Colter Valley, a close knit community.
If you enjoy a traditional western romance with the added
benefit of a little bit of sensuality and a great “happily ever after” at the
end, then you will enjoy The Widow’s Choice, as much as I
did. Happy reading!

For fun I spend a lot of time with my girlfriends. My wonderful hubby is my partner in crime for traveling. We love to jump in the car or sometimes his motorcycle and head to the mountains, the city or the beach.

Great read! I loved it & look forward to the rest in the series. Like Vikki, I am a fan of Hildie's writing & especially of "Where The Four Winds Collide"
