A Bandit's Betrayed Heart (The Blood Blade Sisters #3) by Michelle McLean
This is the third book in the series, and while it stands alone as a story, I did feel like a missed a lot. It refers several times to incidents that I assume occured in previous books. It didn't take away from the story, but it did leave me feeling like I missed out on something. Lucy and her sisters are not your typical women of the time. As ex-bandits, they have much more spunk and aren't afraid to say what they want and stand up for themselves. Lucy shows this perfectly when she leaves town for the south to find the love of her life, Finn. She hasn't seen him since before the Civil War, at least seven years has gone by. Finn ran from Lucy not because he didn't love her, but because he didn't want her involved with the bad people he was associated with. This is a book about fighting for who you love and what you want. I loved Lucy - expecially when she had a shotgun in her hands. She seemed fearless - but deep inside she knew that she really needed Finn to complete her. But her push to bring Finn back in only drags her deeper into the realm he was trying to keep her from to begin with. There were a few times I wasn't sure if Lucy would be about to get out of the trouble she found herself in. This book wrapped quite an adventure into the romance and it meshed very well. - See more at: http://www.bittenbyromance.com/#sthash.C4m4o8pS.dpuf
