Come the Spring by Julie Garwood

3.0

Come the Spring is the final book about the Clayborne family. Finally, we get to find out what happens to Cole and we meet Daniel Ryan, the US Marshall who stole from Mama Rose. In this book Cole finds himself appointed US Marshall by Ryan and on the trail of a group of blood-thirsty bank robbers. They have three potential witnesses to the latest bank robbery and they have to figure out which of the women is their actual witness. Along the way there is murder, intrigue and of course romance.

Come the Spring is a nice historical romance and a good wrap-up to this series. The mystery and intrigue of the bank robbers works pretty well in the story. I have to say that I had a little difficulty with the romances. With the multiple romantic plots going on it was sometimes difficult to keep the women straight. The three females in the book really didn't seem all that different personality wise. For that matter, Cole and Ryan were awfully similar as well but I never got them confused. I think the mystery saved this book because the romances definitely brought it down a little bit. But there was a good ending, justice was served and everyone lived happily ever after.
