THIS IS A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED WORK ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AS *THE DEVIL'S OWN DESPERADO* He's everything she fears… Colt Evans didn’t choose to be a gunfighter. When he’s injured in a shootout and stumbles onto a remote homestead, he didn’t expect to find compassion. But beautiful Amelia McCollister is like no other woman. Colt finds his dream of settling down with a wife and home is within his reach—but only if his past doesn’t come gunning for him. Maybe, a shootist can hang up the hardware. She's everything he dreams of… After outlaws murdered her parents, Amelia was left to raise her siblings alone. With a young brother who idolizes shootists, and a little sister traumatized by the ordeal of witnessing their parents’ murder, Amelia dreads having a notorious gunman in her home. But as Colt slowly recovers, he reveals a caring nature under his tough exterior that Amelia can't resist. She believes Colt can leave his past in yesterday. Just when Colt starts to hope he can leave the gunfighter life behind, his past returns, bringing danger to them all. Will their dreams disappear in the smoke of a desperado's gun?

Oh, I truly love stepping back into the wild-west, I grew up watching westerns with my grandfather and A long way from yesterday reminded me of how much I loved them.
Colt was a great hero, there was just enough romance, drama and action for me it was a sweet read.

In this epic tale, Colt Evans ( a shootist) has found himself on the receiving end of a bullet. He stumbles out of the Saloon, mounts his horse, and ends up on Amelia McCollister farm barely alive. Amelia and her siblings take him in to try and save his life. Colt wants to leave his past behind and settle down with a family, but he gives up on that dream knowing someone will come to seek revenge. Will Amelia and Colt be able to bond and have a relationship or will his past come back to haunt him? You must read this tale to find out.

Ms. Cox writes a book that is so engaging and compelling. Her characters are well drawn and it’s clear as to the roles they play. Ms. Cox brings her readers into the mind, body, and soul of each character. Her plot is engaging. The dialogue is witty, funny, and sometimes infuriating. Her scenery is beautifully depicted. This book had me glued to my chair right up to the fantastic conclusion.

Well Done.
Five glorious stars.

This is a wonderful story of redemption and second chances; my favorite tropes. After reading the first few paragraphs, I knew instantly that I had to read this book. Ms. Cox has a delightful voice that paints a setting in your head and her story delivers in spades! I highly recommend.
Colt is a bad guy—a dark and brooding shootist hiding a sensitive side. Hunted and weary of killing, he’s sheltering a secret desire for a real life. None of that matters when your life’s blood is draining out of you. Finally, he was too slow.
Well-mannered, lady-like Amelia is weary, too. After the death of her parents forced her into a parental role, she’s become isolated, lonely, and too busy raising her siblings to notice. When a comatose, dangerous-looking man near to death tumbles from his horse into her bean patch, she can do nothing less than her Christian duty.

I loved this book right from the 1st sentence. Lynda's words are so incredibly descriptive it was like I was living the story in real time. She put so much research into he stories to keep them accurate to the time and location of the book. I look forward to reading the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Western Romance
Reviewed in the United States on 23 July 2019

This was my first Western romance and I really enjoyed it. It's a well written story that's packed with details yet is written in a way that it flows easily. The Era in which it takes place stays true to itsself throughout the book and really makes you feel like you have been transported in time. I liked the storyline and characters even though they frustrated me at times..But that's what makes a good book, and I got a lot of the feels from this one.
