Peeps, meet Preacher (aka Ian)! He’s a Scottish/Black, green eyed, quiet cutie who’s been a lawyer/outlaw/Bible-thumping bounty hunter/widower/US Marshal/cattle owner. He has the patience of a saint and brains to match the beauty. He was definitely awesome sauce with an extra side of heat! It’s no wonder Maggie threw him for a loop! Maggie for all her roadblocks in life-orphaned, discriminated for being Kaw/Black, single, and female-turned out to be an extremely resilient, very intelligent, sometimes quite amusing, and highly stubborn spitfire with a penchant for finding trouble...through no fault of her own. Her honesty sometimes provoked hilarious results-wait until you read what she did to the man who did her wrong🤣, but also gave insight in to who she truly was without the weight of the world on her shoulders. Night Hawk was heartbreaking yet redeeming story all in the same breath. There were just so many feels happening! I also thought there was more humor in this book. That or Maggie just had a knack for making Ian crack a smile when least expected! Ms. Bev also touched on Black, Native American and Chinese history points as Ian and Maggie swept across the Plains on the railway towards their final destination and I happily devoured every single word.
