ARC REVIEW : Wild as the West Texas Wind (Love Across Time #3) by Jackie North

 

Soulmates across time. Two hearts that were meant to be together.

In present day, Zach takes a road trip to Trinidad to find information on a missing friend.

In 1892, Layton Blue, outlaw, longs for hearth and home even as he treasures his life of freedom.

A freak rainstorm washes Zach's car into a ditch, sending him back to the year 1892. Searching for help, alone and on foot in the middle of the nowhere, he crosses paths with the famous Ketchum Gang. Now the gang’s prisoner, Zach’s fate is to be sold at a seedy auction for whores.

Layton is put in charge of making sure Zach does not escape, but as the chemistry between them grows, Layton finds himself wanting to help Zach.

Can Layton overcome years of being on the run? Can Zach accept help from an outlaw?

A male/male time travel romance complete with fast rides across the desert, campfires beneath the stars, cool water in the desert, wild rescues, and true love across time.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

...but I'm telling you, the most powerful prison is the one you don't know you're locked inside of...

Jackie North has easily become my new favorite author for just two books of her. There's no secret that I loved Honey From the Lion to bits, because how adorable Laurie and John were.
This book should be read after Laurie and John, so we'll know what to expect from this book.

Started with a wish from Layton (pay attention with chapter one closely), the story begun.
This is a story of finding yourself and what you really want in your life. Layton had been an outlaw for five years after Tom took him under his wings, and like Zach said to him, he had been 'a prisoner without a door' for Tom. Never dare to take a step toward his dream of a peaceful life. Until Zach.
Layton irritated me at first with his cowardice to stand up for himself and Zach. But the situation was 1892, which understandable.
But Zach is a little spitfire that Layton needed in his life. Together with Tam, Layton's adorable pretty horse, the trio fought for life they dream of.

"I love you. If you want to leave and go roam the earth, we roam. If you want to stay and light kerosene lamp, then we light the lamps. I just want to be with you. I want to be your home"
"You are, you are my home"

Then came Laurie and John in the picture, my life is complete.
Will the four of them finally get their happy ending? In 1892, the happy ending is the most HEA after all.
Cannot wait for the next installment!
