Originality Makes A Woman Called Sage a Great Read

A Woman Called Sage by DiAnn Mills gives us an imaginative look at a female bounty hunter in 1980's Colorado. Sage Morrow has been bounty hunting for eight years bringing in wanted men and giving the bounty to the widows and orphans of the victims. Bounty Hunting is a means to an end. Finding the men that murdered her husband drives her. A half bred woman with a red tail hawk as her companion sets her apart from other bounty hunters. She is both admired and scorned. Now so close to apprehending those very men she finds herself with more questions than answers.
Marshall Parker Timmons is determined to go after the men who have killed his brother and kidnapped his nephews. The town fears the McCaw gang and no one will go with him except Sage. Timmons can barely move after being badly beaten by the gang and at first refuses to allow a woman to help him. He grows to respect this very independent, unorthodox woman as together they rescue his nephews from the very gang that killed her husband. When Sage is wounded during the rescue and nearly dies Parker realizes he cares for her. Sage has steeled her heart against both men and God. Her desire for revenge and justice leaves no room in her heart for love or forgiveness. When Aiden McCaw claims to know her husband her desire for the truth almost overwhelms her.
Sage and Parker must deal with a hypocritical preacher, a terrorized townspeople and misinformation regarding her husband. Their dilemma speaks to every reader's faith on some level. A Woman Called Sage not only entertains but reminds the reader to rely on the wisdom of God and trust Him to show us the truth.

"A Woman Called Sage" by DiAnne Mills

In this book, A Woman Called Sage, DiAnn writes a gripping story of a woman bounty hunter, Sage Morrow, who has a hawk as her traveling pet, who is seeking justice against the outlaws that ended her dreams of a life with Charles. It's a toss-up between justice and revenge. Which one will win out?

Bounty hunters are typically rough and tough surly men, but Sage has the same grit and determination as her male counterparts, coupled with the tenderness of a woman. She has gained a reputation across the West because of her tenacity, determination and ability to bring in outlaws. She has the knowledge and sense of tracking that is equal to or better than some men.

She teams up with Marshal Parker Timmons of Rocky Falls, CO, when she brings in one of the outlaws, Aiden McCaw, of the McCaw brothers' gang, out from the Rockies.

Once you've read one of DiAnn Mills' books, you're hooked! Her stories are action-packed, page after page, chapter after chapter, all the way to the very end of the book. She's very descriptive of the mountainous terrain and trails, the dangers her characters encounter, the intricate details of tracking, and the travails they endure. Danger, murder, tension, grief, love, laughter-it's all there. If you are looking for adventure, look no further than DiAnn's books! There is no lack of adventure!

DiAnn does extensive research on the territory and era, so you are living the scenes with the characters in the late 1800s in the West.

DiAnn's heart is to incorporate the Christian faith in her characters' everyday life. Some have lost their way, others have yet to find it. Which ones will find their way back, and which ones will find it for the first time?

This book was provided by DiAnn for my honest review. It's my great pleasure to recommend DiAnn's book for adventure and inspiration.

Female Bounty Hunter

Thank you to CFBA and Zondervan for my copy of this western mystery. The plot keeps the reader interested as Sage, a part Indian bounty hunter searches for the killer of her husband and unborn child. She's been trained in the ways of the Ute Tribe to survive in the wild, and these skills enable her to hunt for the killer. Her adventures keep the pages turning.

In addition, romance weaves its spell with three suitors! That's the only glitch I see: after all, how can one disinterested woman capture so many hearts?

An interesting character is Hawk, a red-tailed hawk that Sage has nursed from infancy. They have a unique bond, and he communicates with her--not verbally, of course. If you like western adventure stories, you'll like this one.

Wonderful Christian and Western Romance!

Ms. Mills has combined life in the west during the 1800's, romance, Christian faith and rolled it all into one really, really good book.
I highly recommend this book...you won't regret reading it!

This is a superb western romance

In 1875 in Colorado, Sage and Charles love one another deeply. They look forward to their first child. However, four dirty gunmen who apparently know Charles arrive at their ranch demanding money. The leader shoots and kills Charles; Sage memorizes the face of the only one talking before he shoots her.

Two years later, Sage thanks Tall Elk for teaching her how to hunt the predators who killed her husband and her unborn, and left her for dead. She vows one day justice will be served her style as she becomes a bounty hunter.

By 1882 Sage has made little progress in finding the face that haunts her nightmares. She learns of Aiden McCaw and his murderous brothers killing a rancher near Rocky Falls. With Hawk she captures Aiden who threatens her and knew Charles, but she takes him to Marshal Parker Timmons. He is at the funeral of his murdered brother; killed by Aidan's siblings. His nephews Davis and John are missing while his ribs are broken by the brothers as a warning. Still Sage and Parker go after the killers praying they can rescue the two youngsters. As the pair ignores their attraction because the kids come first, each will find their past catching up to them.

This is a superb western romance starring a unique heroine and a tough lawman. The support cast is solid as the townsfolk especially the Preacher, Hawk and the vile villains augment the plot, while the exciting story line is enhanced by the mystery of why Charles was murdered. Still the title character brings a special avenging redemption making A Woman called Sage a strong Reconstruction Era tale.
