About this ebook

Following the westward route of the Orphan Trains, itinerant photographer Shea Waterston is searching for the infant son she was forced to give up ten years ago. To pay her way, Shea photographs everything from church choirs to outlaws, and is setting up her camera at a hanging when she lands in Judge Gallimore's jail.

Colorado Territorial Judge Cameron Gallimore, a strong but just man, damned himself years before with one fateful decision. But when Shea is hurt saving his life, Cameron takes her to his ranch--against his own better judgement--to recuperate. While there, Shea begins to suspect the Judge's ten-year-old son is her own lost child.

But the boy's identity isn't the only secret Cam has, and just as Shea begins to heal the empty places in his heart, Cam's past catches up with him. Now Cameron must stand against his enemies to protect his boy and win Shea's love forever.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this book although I thought it not as good as the previous three books. I loved all the characters and the story was well written. I like the fact that Elizabeth's books always include children. Hopefully book 5 will be available on Google Play some time soon.

I love a historical western romance that features a child in peril and Painted By The Sun certainly delivers! That's just one of the many reasons that this poignant story pulled at my heartstrings and kept me riveted from beginning to end. Cam and Shea are both looking for absolution for what they consider unforgivable transgressions in their pasts and both are afraid they'll never find it. Their journey and the way it affects others in their lives makes for an unforgettable and thoroughly engaging story, which I whole heartily recommend. I received this book from ebook discovery and I voluntarily give it my honest review.

Wonderful story.
