Early Dawn

 In Catherine Anderson's Early Dawn, the 4th installment in the Coulters Historical romance series, this beautiful romance is so well-written and brought tears to my eyes. In the late 1880s, Matthew Coulter lost his wife and his unborn child, when he nearly lost his life from battling the Sebastian brothers. He vowed revenge for his late wife's death, no matter how long it would take. In 1890, Eden Saxton rides the train to No Name Colorado with her mother, escaping from a scandal on her lineage, and dealing with a broken engagement. Along the way, the train gets held up by the Sebastian gang and takes her for hostage... later, they would have their way with her and sell her over the border. Matthew Coulter comes to the train robbery and follows their path to the camp to rescue Eden. From there, they both escape them in the wild west and find a brewing connection together, both holding onto the past. During the past month or so, they dealt with dangers from the wilderness and surviving the elements, when a growing romance sparks between them that's hotter than a campfire. First later, then lovers, their passion heats up while Matthew's vow to seek revenge stands in the way for new romance. In the end, will they let go of the past or start living life for the future together?

 It's been so long since I've read a book from Catherine Anderson. And this was a wonderful love story between Eden and Paxton and how love conquers all. I cared for Matthew who had a big chip on his shoulder and who risked his life and life to protect Eden's safety, even later he opened his heart to tell her how he felt about her. I cared for Eden who've been dealt with one too many blows and how she shot a gun to kill snakes and the bad guys.  I could see how wonderful they were meant to be together with a heart-warming and delicious happy ending. I loved the dual locations of the Colorado territory and Oregon for this epic scenic settings for the time period. The theme is to let go of the past and be open to the future for love and life.

 If you love enchanted historical romances with tons of non-stop action, plenty of suspense, lots of romance, and a scoop of drama, you'll fall in love with Early Dawn.
