The Doctor's Daughter by Donna MacQuigg *print book*

Rebeccah Randolph had no desire to travel from England to uncivilized Santa Fe just to respect and honor her mother's dying wish. Even pleading with her Grandmother telling her that she is engaged could not sway the plans laid out for her. Rebeccah wanted to remain in England and marry Edward, the man she thought she truly loved. She had no choice but to go to Santa Fe for a year to teach Mexican children English, as well as spend some time with the father that abandoned her, her sister and mother many years ago.

Colonel Sayer MacKlaren was the best known Indian fighter around, so when the good Doctor Randolph requested that he be the one to escort his daughters home safely, he couldn't refuse. Especially since rumors of the eldest daughter, Lydia's beauty swarmed about all of Santa Fe. When he arrived, he saw for himself; Lydia was quite pleasing to look at but she was nothing like her younger sister Rebeccah. Rebeccah stole his heart with her feisty temper and amazing beauty.

Spending every weekend together, Sayer taught Rebeccah how to ride a horse, fish and shoot a gun. As time passed the two began having feelings for one another; although each kept the words unspoken because Rebeccah was still engaged to another man. Rebeccah's fiance was nothing compared to her Colonel, she knew she must make a decision. Leave Santa Fe when the year is up and return to her betrothed, or find a way to stay with the Indian fighter and surrender her heart.

Just when Rebeccah is about to mail the letter to Edward containing the engagement ring and an explanation, her Grandmother shows up to return the two girls back to England. Sayer is still out looking for clues that the attackers may have left when they left him for dead. Can he return home in time to stop the love of his life from leaving on the train from Santa Fe?

The Doctor's Daughter is an amazing Historical Western Romance full of adventure and vigor. Love awaits where you least expect it, but once it's found there is no turning back. Beautifully detailed characters, and exciting and dangerous events will keep you turning the pages. The book easily make me loose all track of time, from the beginning I was enthralled. I knew this would be a book I would fall in love with, and I could not wait to read what would happen next.

Ms. MacQuigg is an author that we will be hearing a lot about in the future. She is a master storyteller and I can assure you that her Historicals are not to be missed. The Doctor's Daughter is a book all Romance lovers should have on their shelf, I know it has found a permanent place on mine. This book is a remarkable read so it deserves no less than 5 stars, but more if I could give them.
