Valiant

What would you give up for your one true love? This is the dilemma that Delaney Shaw went through with Quade Singleton.

Delaney has been in love with Quade for a long time - years in fact - ever since they were children. Quade first came into Delaney’s life when his mother died, forcing him to go live with his abusive uncle. Quade has always loved Delaney, but never felt he was on the same level as her socially, so he takes off to make a better life for himself. Delaney’s father, the sheriff, is eagerly waiting for her to fall in love and give him some grandchildren to bounce on his knees.

One night during a dance, Delaney decides to walk home, and she spies a stranger riding into town. Much to her amazement, it is Quade! Love rekindles and is renewed between the two of them. Marriage and children are certainly in the future for them until disaster strikes! Quade is accused of murder and is sentenced to death. Can love conquer all? Will faith keep these two lovers apart or intervene to make all well?

Valiant, with its twists and turns, kept me captivated and looking to find out if the star-crossed lovers would be together. You are hoping against all odds, as well as wishing with all your might that a happy ending for Delaney and Quade will materialize. I enjoyed this book because it was full of intrigue and love.

Lani Aames keeps you guessing right up to the last minute if true love will really conquer all.

The strength of these characters pulls you into a really enjoyable book that should not be missed! You'll be taken back in to the Old West, just as if you are living there and going through the feelings and emotions of the characters with them. This pervasive emotion makes this book well worth your time. Valiant is a historical book packed with page-turning action, which tempts you to read more. This was the first book I have ever read by Lani Aames, but I will be picking up another one to read. Get Valiant today, and do it right away for a relaxing few hours of fun; you'll be glad that you did.
