Humorous sequel to Impassioned Vagabond, featuring Rafe's brother, rancher Travis Conley and a sweet but confused immigrant mail-order bride
What do you get when a voluptuous Italian-Catholic finds herself at the gates of a rugged, Irish-Presbyterian cattle rancher? Sparks, humorous language barriers, and eventually a range war.
Travis needs a cook and housekeeper. Lucia Montessano needs a husband--or a paying job that will allow her to hire a lawyer. She's on a mission, and her lack of understanding of either the local lingo or strange frontier ways are not going to keep her from fulfilling a solemn promise.
If you like your historical romances as hot as your chili with a good dash of fun & laughter on the side, this one's for you.
Excerpt
"They say you need kitchen," she blurted, suddenly brightening. "I am good kitchen, see?" She seized a covered tin from her stack of paraphernalia. "I make. You like these, yes?" She thrust the tin forward, approaching each bemused man in turn, bobbing her head as they sampled the proffered cookies. Looks of pure ecstasy stole over their faces. She held out the tin to Travis. He glanced down. Cookies. She couldn't have had jerky or moldy biscuits in that damned tin. It would have to be cookies. "Look ma'am," Travis huffed, disdaining her offering. "Miss--whatever your name is, I--"
"Lucia Montessano." She smiled and stepped closer, twisting Travis' stomach into a knot. She had an incredible smile. It lit up her whole face, which--now that he really got a good look at it--wasn't as outstanding as her breasts, but wasn't displeasing. "Happy please you meet me."

IMPASSIONED STRANGER can stand very well alone but is the sequel to Ms. Biondine's previous work IMPASSIONED VAGABOND. I found this to be an enjoyable, entertaining, fun-filled read! I highly recommend IMPASSIONED STRANGER.
