About DAWN OF SURRENDER:
MacKenzie vs. MacKenzie...
Cole MacKenzie is content to be the sheriff of Surrender, Montana, but he’s needed for a greater purpose. The United States needs a U.S. Marshal with a certain kind of experience to track the leader of the notorious Silver Creek Bandits, as they leave a trail of bodies in their wake with every bank they rob. The leader is smart, cunning, and ruthless. And he's also his brother.
Elizabeth MacKenzie never dreamed she’d marry Cole MacKenzie, but thanks to her father’s meddling, Cole was hers to have and to hold. Forever. She needed an equal, not a man to rule her life, and Cole fit the bill every in every way. If only he loved her.
One heart is broken and the other is bent on revenge, but love is a choice, and it's one Cole and Elizabeth are determined to make.

Excerpt:
“My place is here, with my wife and this town. My duty is to them first. The job you’re asking me to do is meant for a younger man without any ties. I’m not going to pick up and leave my wife for months at a time to track outlaws. There’s plenty of good I can do here, with the badge I already have.”
“A wife is just a wife,” Jesse said. “But this is your chance to go down in history.”
Cole laughed. There was nothing just about Elizabeth. “I never asked to go down in history. I’m just doing the best I can to make the world we live in the best it can be. I want a family, and I don’t want to let them inherit a world of wars and violence.”
“War is in the nature of man,” Jesse said. “It’s been that way since Cain and Abel. And here we are, a whole bunch of years later with the story of two brothers.”
Cole had been watching the street, subconsciously seeking out his wife. He was starting to get worried that she’d gotten stuck somewhere. She should’ve been there by now.
And then, almost as if he’d conjured her, she came through the window of visibility, the snow swirling around her. She’d left her head uncovered, and loose strands of dark hair had come out of the long braid that rested over her shoulder. Her long coat swirled around her legs, and her pistols were slung low on her hips. Unlike any other woman he’d ever met, she chose to wear men’s trousers in her day-to-day work at the ranch. He’d never actually seen her in a dress. But he definitely appreciated what she did to a pair of men’s pants.
Jesse saw her too, and his fork stopped halfway to his mouth.
“Good Lord,” Jesse rasped.
“She’s something, huh?”
Jesse blew out a breath and put his fork down. “Oh, good. You see her too. I was afraid maybe I’d died and she was an angel of death.”
“There are worse ways to go,” Cole said, smiling.
“That’s for damned sure.” Jesse picked up his fork again, but he’d forgotten what he was doing so he set it down again. “I’ve got to tell you, MacKenzie, I’ve seen a lot of things in my life, but I’ve never seen anything like her.”
She was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. And she was all his.
My Review
I've read a few ropy books of late, and when I realised that this was a historical romance my eyes rolled. They are not something I generally choose to read.
HOWEVER the only bad thing about this book was that it just wasn't long enough! I was just getting a feel for Cole and Elizabeth when we were suddenly into the big finale and then the epilogue. I really liked both MC's. Elizabeth was such a strong and determined woman whilst Cole was a strong enough man to not only accept but appreciate her.
They are already married when we meet them, and from the backstory we are given there wasn't any great romance involved. However it is clear that they have chemistry, but a lack of communication has led to a series of misunderstandings. This book focuses on the two of them trying to bridge that divide, along with an action/adventure/peril and danger side plot.
The book is well written, it engaged me and held my attention from the off. The style of writing is easy to read and follow, and I can't say I noticed (m)any editing/grammatical errors. The characters were believable and seemed to step off the page, they were rounded and felt 'real'. I really enjoyed this read but, as I said before, it was over almost too quickly and left me wanting much more of Cole, Elizabeth and their story. I highly recommend this both for fans and new readers alike. It can definitely be read as a stand-alone and with no prior knowledge of the MacKenzie family.
