Item Description...
Overview
Seeking a fresh start, McKenna and her rebellious younger brother accept an invitation from their distant cousin to move to Copper Creek, Colorado, but when McKenna's cousin dies, leaving her the ranch and a young child, a distant relative shows up to contest the will. Original.
Publishers Description
An unexpected inheritance. An unknown future. An unending love. Determined to tame her younger brother's rebellious streak, McKenna Ashford accepts her cousin's invitation to move west and to begin again. But she quickly discovers that life in Copper Creek, Colorado is far from what she expected. Shouldering burdens beyond her years, McKenna tries to be the parent Robert needs, instead of the older sister he resents. But an "untimely inheritance" challenges her resolve at every turn, while also offering a second chance to restore her trust--and perhaps even her heart. U.S. Marshal Wyatt Caradon is dedicated to bringing fugitives to justice, yet years of living on the trail have taken their toll. When his path intersects with that of McKenna, he comes face-to-face with a past he never wanted to relive--and the one woman who can help him find the future he's been longing for. As McKenna struggles to let go of her independence and Wyatt considers opening his heart again, they discover an inheritance beyond imagination. But it will come at a price. |

 | New Favorite Author May 3, 2010 |
| I've been searching for a new author. My favorite for a long time has been Francine Rivers...but Tamera Alexander has made it on my list. This was a great historical romance book with adventure. I have been looking for various Christian historical novels. Her characters were fun and enjoyable to read. I would love to see this book turn into a series. | | |  | Good Read Mar 16, 2010 |
| This one started slow for me but I stuck with it and was glad I did. I liked the hero a lot and the unconventional role of the heroine was different. | | |  | quick read, with a beautiful application Feb 2, 2010 |
This is the second of Tamera Alexander's novels that I have read, and I have the Fountain Creek Chronicles still on my shelf to read. I enjoy her mostly light-hearted historical romances. I read Inheritance in one day.
McKenna Ashford and her brother Robert move to Copper Creek, Colorado after he causes some trouble that forces her to sell the family home. Upon arrival, McKenna hopes Robert will settle down, and they can leave the past behind them. That does not happen. McKenna does not know how to change Robert...Enter US Marshal Wyatt Caradon who understands a little more what Robert needs. In typical romance style McKenna and Wyatt clash a bit, especially when it comes to Robert.
I felt the characters were well written. I could understand the driving forces behind all of their personalities and actions. I enjoyed the side story involving the Chinese Americans and their culture; however, my favorite part has to be the prayer that Wyatt offers for Robert, echoing the one he prayed for himself years prior. That one sentence is an example of why I love Christian fiction. Novels that are so often just mindless entertainment turn into tools used by the Holy Spirit! I pray that the Lord would "break me, until I am wholly His!"
[...] | | | | THE INHERITANCE Dec 27, 2009 |
Tamera Alexander's signature writing in the historical field continues with THE INHERITANCE.
McKenna Ashford is looking for a fresh start in Copper Creak, Colorado, but is met with grief and burdens she isn't sure she can shoulder. Hoping for a better life for her and her younger brother, Robert, she encourages him to stay strong and put his past behind him. But she is only met with his deep-seeded belligerence. Knowing the chip on his shoulder will not fare well in this new town, she is powerless to do anything about it. When Marshall Caradon takes an interest in her and Robert, she fears he will find out about their past and they will once again be forced to move.
Marshall Wyatt Caradon isn't sure if it is intrigue or irritation he feels for McKenna Ashford. But one thing he is sure of, there is something more to her than she is letting on. When he has to rescue Robert from one run in after another, he sees the strain and responsibility McKenna feels, and in turn develops deeper feeling for her. Wanting nothing more than to help her, their relationship grows with every trial.
THE INHERITANCE is classic Tamera Alexander. Though some feel this is a weak representation of her work, I would have to disagree. I was completely swept up by the struggle that met McKenna at every turn and fell in love with the sometimes heavy-handed ministrations of Wyatt Caradon. The colorful off-beat characters and talents Tamera adds to this story are unique, helping to keep a story set in the west fresh and enjoyable to read.

| I, like several other reviewers, have read all of Tamera Alexander's books, and THE INHERITANCE is simply my favorite yet. I loved both McKenna & Wyatt, and am only sorry the book had to end. If we're lucky, this will be the beginning to a new series. | | | Write your own review about Inheritance
