In exchange for sparing him from the gallows, Cole Heflin agrees to bring Maxwell Lacey's granddaughter, Marietta Stone, back to Galveston from Central City, Colorado. There's just one problem: Marietta wants nothing to do with the grandfather who turned her pregnant mother out 25 years ago. Cole must somehow convince her to accompany him...even if it means kidnapping the woman and capturing her heart.

fun western romance

Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1872 Galveston, Texas, septuagenarian Maxwell Lacey nears death but needs to right the wrong he committed when he tossed his pregnant unmarried daughter from their home twenty-five years ago. Maxwell cannot do anything for his deceased daughter, but wants to see his granddaughter Marietta Stone before he dies. Only her poster as a diva in the Central City, Colorado opera house keeps him alive. Maxwell uses his wealth and influence to save former confederate officer Cole Heflin from the gallows. Cole agrees to bring Marietta to Maxwell in exchange for $10,000 that the pardoned felon will provide to the widowed mother and sister of a deceased friend.
In Central City Cole attends the opera where Marietta performs. He is stunned by her beauty, but shocked when she sings in front of the packed house because her voice stinks. Cole learns that a middle-aged patron sponsors Marietta and three of his henchmen guard her around the clock. Cole abducts Marietta from underneath the protection of her local patron. As she tries every trick, including seduction, to gain her freedom, he safely takes her past her patron's chasing guards, Comanche, mountain men, and buffalo. On the trail they fall in love but she resents his forcing her to see her detestable grandfather.
This is a fun western romance that is loaded with non-stop action though Marietta's protectors seem a bit too pathetic. The story line is absolutely superb when Marietta and Cole battle one other for control of a relationship that changes from captive to forever love (no Stockholm syndrome with this couple). Sub-genre fans will have a good time reading NAUGHTY MARIETTA.

Absolute Great Adventure Love Story!!

Oh more than 5*, I love this kind of hate-turn-love romance. For me 'Naughty Marietta' is really naughty...this book is Full of Adventure, Full of Rage, Full of Passion, Intense Love-Scene, and Beautifulx2 Ending...I longing to read more about them...
And did I mentioned passionate? it is...and if other reviewer mentioned her best love-scene is in the barn...well for me it's in the dark (night) forest ((*Spoiler* when they being chased by the Comanche Indians))...oh remarkable...
I will try to find another Nan Ryan's book...coz her style remind me of Heather Graham's, especially the intense love-scene...
