Where The Four Winds Collide
Adeline Buckley escapes her abusive father only to find herself in a brothel, on a stagecoach to the untamed west and married to a stranger, all in that order. Plotting another escape becomes harder, the more she gets to know her new husband.
Jackson Pruitt didn’t expect a secretive mail order bride to show up the same week cattle rustlers absconded with a large part of his herd. The bigger surprise was the loveliness of the woman. Why would a beauty like her need to travel so far to marry?
Jackson and Adeline learn that secrets and marriage do not go hand-in-hand when both of their pasts comes knocking and both have to come to grips with the reality, that sometimes trust comes only after you lose it all.

Excerpt
This is your home now, Adeline,” Jackson told her, watching her closely for a reaction. “We were married earlier this afternoon. You are my wife.”
The color drained from her face and she froze, her spoon halfway to her mouth. He feared she’d faint again so he jumped up and went to her. The action startled the woman, who yelped and leaned away from him, only to topple over. Both she and the chair landed on their sides on the floor.
When Jackson tried to help her up, she scrambled to her feet and moved away from his reach.
“Married?” The shock in her voice made him wonder if the woman was mad. Surely she remembered signing the documents before the judge?
“Yes, Adeline, the judge explained it all to you before you signed the papers at the hotel. Do you not remember?”
“I…” her widened eyes met his and he fought the urge to reach out to reassure her. “I thought it was a dream.”

My Review:
When I started reading Hildie McQueen’s, Where the Four Winds Collide, it took me back to my all-time favorite book, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. The culture, fashion, time period, and sweet love story provided a great escape. The plot is rich with misunderstandings, colorful pasts, and a journey fraught with danger and secrets.
The night I started this book I’d planned on reading for an hour, next thing I knew it was three in the morning. I was emotionally satisfied and completely happy with the ending, yet I was sad to leave the vivid Gold Rush world Hildie McQueen created.
I highly recommend, Where the Four Winds Collide.
On a side note GO FALCONS!!!!! Talk about a CRAZY game.
Sorry, back to our regular blog. 
Doesn’t Hildie’s book sound great? What did you do this weekend? I almost had a heart-attack while watching the game. Good thing there are awesome books like Where the Four Winds Collide to calm me down.
Wow, this sounds like a book I’d enjoy. Congrats on the release, Hildie.
And yes, I do like Western historicals.
Hello Shellie, thank you so much, I am in love with this story and am so happy to share it.
It sounds my cup of tea
Congrats, Hildie!
Hello Catherine,
Thank you so much. I hope you have a chance to read it.
Yeah for Hildie!!!
And definitely some wild games this weekend.
Yay for me! Thank you for stopping by Alex.
Yes, I will love reading this. It’s not a genre I’ve read lately, but we all need variety. I love Hildie’s writing from the excerpt!
Hey Brinda, I think you’ll like this story, it’s so different for me, but I know it’s a great tale.
Wild football game–yes!! And Hildie’s new release –YES! Sounds like a great book. I love historicals. Love them.
Will be reading this one. I also love the cover.
Hi Lindi, I can’t wait to hear what you think!
I can see why she would set her story in the Old West. It conjures up romantic, dangerous, and untamed adventure for most of us.
Yes, congrats to the Falcons, but I think Atlanta area hospitals probably got swamped after all the stress that their team put them under; especially in the third and fourth quarters.
Intriguing messes for your heroine to escape from, Hildie! Congrats.
Yes they are Laura! It was fun to write!
Yes, the best books keep you up until 3 in the morning. Sorry you lost some sleep, but I’m glad you found a great book.
Hildie, the book sounds amazing. Definitely on my TBR!
Hello Marta, Thanks!! I hope you get to read it.
That’s a pretty solid must-read review!
I loved the excerpt! It made we wonder what on earth was going on.
Congrats, Hildie. The book sounds fab.
Hello Isis, I believe it is, so if you read it, you’ll have to let me know.
Okay, I was gonna say something nice, but then you had to bring the Falcons into it! I lost my voice due to that game yesterday. My Hawks blew it over and over and over. Didn’t play like them at all. Oh well, there’s always next year. Congratulations on your win! I won’t hold it against you. Much… jk
Love to premise of this book! Sounds like it would make a cute movie. Nice review!
Thank you Camille, I hear that a lot, yeah it would be an awesome movie I think!
Hi Ciara .. and Hildie – the story line does sound fascinating – I now want to know what happened … good luck with the book and future writings ..
Cheers Hilary
Hi Hillary, thank you, hopefully you’ll get a chance to read the book. Take care
Congratulations to Hildie!! There’s nothing better than a book that keeps you reading into the night because you can’t put it down. Will definitely check out Four Winds.
And congrats to your Falcons! What a crazy game that was. I’m looking forward to the Championship game this weekend, should be a good one.
I’m flattered by the comments! Thanks for hosting me Ciara
Hildie’s book really does sound like the kind of story that would pull me in, so it’s on my list. I enjoy stories with characters who have imperfect pasts and damaged hearts.
I can’t wait to hear what you think Helena. Thank you.
I love historicals, and this sounds like a good one.
Your review sold me on it! And so glad you didn’t have a heart-attack:-)
Congrats Hildie !! yes I do like Western historicals
