Eagle has always minded
his own business. He likes his job working in the local stable. He knows that when the towns people of Bitter
Creek look at him all they see is a dumb half-breed and that suites Eagle just
fine. He doesn’t care what other think of him. He is content to work with his
horses and to live as peaceful a life as possible but there is a land war
brewing in Bitter Creek and Eagle is determined to survive it in tact. He is
determined not to get involved—until the choice is taken away from him.
When Ralph Ramsey arrives
at the stable beaten and bleeding from a fatal gun shot wound, Eagle knows he
has to offer assistance. Ralph has always been kind to him and no man should
die alone. Ralph asks Eagle to hide his horses from his murderer until someone
from his family comes to claim them. Eagle agrees knowing that if his role is
discovered he will be pulled into the coming battle whether he wants to be or
not.
When Ralph’s brother
Travis Ramsey comes to Bitter Creek in search of his brother Eagle immediately
recognizes him as a hired gun. Men like him ride through town every day. He
doesn’t like the idea of working with Travis but he is determined to fulfill
his promise to Ralph no matter the cost.
BITTER CREEK’S REDEMPTION
by T.A. Chase is an entertaining and steamy tale of the old west. It felt very
authentic to me. The author does a great job of bringing the town of
Eagle and Travis are both intriguing
characters. Both men are accustomed to being alone. At he beginning of the
story Eagle is only interested in looking out for himself and Travis is only
interested in avenging his brother and then moving on. As the novel progresses
both men are changed not only by the events happening around them but by their
growing feeling for one another. In each other Eagle and Travis find acceptance
and love and a reason to live instead of merely survive. BITTER CREEK is an
exciting historical novel and I highly recommend it.
