One Pink Rose was a highly entertaining Western Historical Romance novella that was originally released in 1997 as part of the novel, For The Roses. This introduction into the Clayborne family kept me laughing while I fell for our hunky hero Travis and cheered our feisty heroine Emily on to find the man who would treat her right.
‘She could be a real charmer all right. She was also an amazingly feminine creature, and if she could only learn to be a little less crazy, she’d be just about perfect.’
I had such fun reading this short story. From the quirky, totally likable characters to the humorous bantering between our protagonists, the time absolutely flew by as I followed along on their journey. Set in 1880 in rugged Montana, the people were tough but still willing to help those in need. And that’s exactly how Travis got talked into escorting Emily to meet her fiance for the first time.
She’s pretty feisty; when they get backed into a corner, Emily doesn’t desert Travis. Since he isn’t too keen to turn Emily over into the hands of another man, and it is his kisses that will make her decide otherwise, then he’ll provide them.“I should have tried to placate them, but they made me so angry. One of them called me a heifer.”
A hint of a smile crossed his face. “A heifer?”
“That’s what did it all right,” Millie interjected. “She got that mean look in her eyes right after that one named Carter called her a ‘pretty little heifer.’”
Emily straightened her shoulders. “No woman likes to be called a cow,” she announced in her haughtiest voice.
Travis and Jon both tried to hide their grins. Millie shook her head. “I think he was complimenting you in his own vile way. He didn’t call you a cow, Emily. He called you a pretty heifer,” she reminded her.
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t they the same thing? Travis, I don’t believe I’ve said anything amusing. Why are you smiling?”
“Your indignation,” he replied.
