A Reckless Love

Starred review from June 1, 2020
U.S. Deputy Marshal Zane Sager knows his arrival for the trials of local Klansmen in Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1870 will only fuel a dangerous surge of rebel extremism. But he never predicted that a spark in his heart would reignite into flames, thanks to the delightfully bold Aurora Daughtry. Aurora is determined to leave her mark on the world and refuses to let decorum interfere with her dreams. But when Aurora becomes a vital witness to a case in which Zane's old foe is the key suspect, Zane must find a way to complete his mission and keep her safe at any cost. The conclusion to White's dazzling Daughtry House trilogy?following A Rebel Heart (2018) and A Reluctant Belle (2019)?features the youngest Daughtry sister in a gripping tale of faith and romance. White consistently delivers a captivating cast led by powerful women who appeal to humanity over violence, both in word and deed, here going so far as to mirror Aurora's own vivacious personality in a juicy bit of scandal and the quest of the women involved to set their name to rights. Drawing from, and completing, plot points across all three books, White expertly wraps up this satisfying series with inventive finesse.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
