Carrianne's Debacle: Broad Street Boarding House Series Kindle Edition
When Carrianne Booker bid farewell to her husband Cord, she never imagined it would be the last time she saw him. Cord promised to seek their fortune in California's gold fields, but his letters grew scarce, then stopped altogether. Fearing the worst, Carrianne resolves to brave the dangerous journey west alone to search for her missing love.
In the rough-and-tumble Barbary Coast, Carrianne discovers Cord is caught in a deadly struggle against the brutal crime lord Shiv Deegan. Deegan wants Cord dead for attempting to expose the devil's bloody deeds.
Aided by lawmen, Cord is gathering evidence to bring Deegan to justice once and for all.
Though Carrianne dreads that Cord may break her heart again, she cannot abandon him to Deegan's vengeance. Side by side, they plunge into a shadow world of violence and corruption, seeking to defeat the devil before their second chance at love is forever ripped away.
Carrianne sacrificed her future for love once. Now, in a wild country where the rule of law means little, she must muster the courage to face hell on earth so that love might live again. But will outwitting the devil of Barbary Coast cost Carrianne her life - and her heart?

About the author

Hello and welcome to my author page. Let me tell you a little about myself, as that seems to be the main purpose of this profile. Believe it or not, I began my fiction career in the third grade when I told my class that a little sister I never had died of a black widow bite. I also wrote books through my teen years, always about a girl whose mother mistreated her by making her wash dishes, sweep the floor... you get the idea. Never finished any of those stories. But the idea of writing a real book and publishing it never occurred to me. It was a particularly vivid dream that drove me to drag out a portable typewriter and go to work on my first novel. In 1990 my second completed book, Tender Touch, brought me a first place win in a writing contest and the following year became a Golden Heart Finalist. That won me an agent and a contract from Kensington who published five of my western historical romance novels. My books have placed or won in other contests as well. Forever Mine received a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award nomination. I've always loved the Old West and I believe my novels reflect that emotion through their depth and vibrancy. I am always working on a new story. I hope you try my books and enjoy them. Follow me here on my author page and on my website at https://charleneraddon.com & get a free book.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2022This book is so intriguing. From the first page, you won't want to put it down. The story is fast-paced and full of unexpected circumstances that keep the characters wondering how to handle all the action swirling around them. Catching the bad guy and rekindling romance is a terrific storyline. Such a great book. Don't miss this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022This is a marvelous western historical! The excellent plot is fast paced and intriguing with all it’s twists and turns. The large cast of characters are perfect in their roles. ENJOY!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024Carrianne carries a lot of pain from not hearing from her husband for years. Her understanding grows as she works with him against the evil that holds him captive.
Cord sees first hand what his actions have done to Carrianne and their relationship. He also pays the heavy price of standing by while she puts herself in evils' clutch.
The characters are all very interesting and well written. I especially liked the interaction between the two women friends, between Carrianne and Biff, and the men who worked together better than brothers.
I'm glad that most of the sensual desire is within marital bounds, but between that focus throughout the book and the author's note, I will not be seeking out other books from her.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022The author has penned a sweet and heartwarming story with lots of twists and turns. This is a story of danger, mystery, and love. This is Carrianne and Cord's story. Carrianne had agreed to let Cord go to California to find their fortune. After a time, Cord's letters became fewer and fewer and he hinted that he was in danger. Carrianne decided to travel to California to locate Cord where she learned that Cord's former boss, Shiv Deegan, wanted him dead because Cord knew too much about Shiv's thieving ways. A U.S. Marshall and the San Francisco Governor were working with Cord in an attempt to catch Shiv and Carrianne joins them. Will they be successful in catching Shiv? Will they both be able to escape any harm coming to them from Shiv? Will Carrianne and Cord be able to regain their love for each other and restore their marriage? Be sure to read this exciting book to find out; I know you will enjoy it as much as I did.
