ISABELLE
AND THE OUTLAW
Isabelle
and the Outlaw
The
Wild Rose Press
Loretta
Rogers
When
history professor Isabelle Landers walks through the garden gate at
the English Bed & Breakfast where she is vacationing, she
doesn’t expect to be transported back to 1870 Arizona to save
presumed outlaw Raphael Sinclair from a miscarriage of justice.
Raphael
Sinclair is an undercover Pinkerton agent infiltrating a band of
outlaws, knowledge Isabelle knows as an unintended time traveler.
Somewhere along the way, Raphael has lost a bit of his
humanity over the last three years he’s been with the gang.
Meeting the attractive professor from another time who knows
so much about him may be the catalyst he needs to get it back—if
there is time.
Ms.
Rogers has written a wonderful story, pulling the reader into it
much like Isabelle is pulled into the past. Raphael is a complex
character, one I’d have liked explored more than is feasible in a
short story. Still, the
chemistry combusts between the independent Isabelle and the
domineering Raphael as the story takes you from the present to the
past, from England to the West, and from defeat to the brink of
vindication.
