IN A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

Sunny Landers wants a big life—as big and free as the untamed land that stretches before her. Land she will help her father conquer to achieve his dream of a transcontinental railroad. She won't let a cold, creaky wagon, murderous bandits or stampeding buffalo stand in her way. She wants it all—including Colt Travis.

ALL THE ODDS WERE AGAINST THEM

Like the land of his birth, half–Cherokee Colt Travis is wild, hard, and dangerous. He is a drifter, a wilderness scout with no land and no prospects hired by the Landers family to guide their wagon train. He knows Sunny is out of his league and her father would never approve, but beneath the endless starlit sky, anything seems possible...

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed not only the time period of the novel, but also the time span. Bittner writes about the lives of her characters, not simply a snippet into it. Years passed without me feeling I was missing anything or if time was running away from me. It also means that the relationship between the main characters was not, in any sense, rushed. The low key, rolling style of the tale was perfectly suited to the story at hand, heightening and highlighting certain events throughout. The characters that Bittner creates truly enhance the tale. The sense of impossibility yet necessity between them was unforgettable. Not only were they fantastic individuals in and of themselves, but they were so periodically correct, adding to the flair of the novel. I wanted to get to know these individuals on so many levels. I found myself rooting for them throughout and loving the journey that they took me on. Bittner writes epic romance in the truest sense. She weaves magic through the pages as she takes readers back in time on a remarkable journey. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

This is a tale of epic proportions and worthy of being made into an Oscar winning movie!! It is the greatest love story of all time. I adored Sunny who was wealthy but down to earth, kind and loving. Colt was her knight in shining armour and was not interested in her money at all. The descriptions of the railroad being constructed were very interesting. I felt like I was on the Plains feeling what Colt felt and I was so sad at all the difficult decissions Sunny had to make along the way. But love prevailed and won in the end.

Long and tedious read. Story seemed to drag with repeated situations.
