Judy Hannigan’s Lost in Prosperity is a gripping tale that masterfully blends romance, suspense, and the rugged charm of the Wyoming Territory. The story begins with a harrowing stagecoach crash that leaves Sam Hillard Stone—a fiercely independent woman—struggling to piece together her shattered memory. A mysterious, strikingly handsome stranger rescues her, but her confusion only deepens when he kisses her with an intimacy she cannot place. Surrounded by friends and family, Sam discovers she is a wealthy saloon owner with a reputation as sharp as her quick draw. Yet, even as fragments of her identity resurface, trust becomes a precarious commodity—especially when the face in the mirror feels like that of a stranger. Jackson, the enigmatic hero, is heartbroken. The woman he loves no longer recognizes him or the life they shared. Her condition worsens with each passing day, and his grief is compounded by the realization that the crash may have been no accident. Determined to protect Sam and uncover the truth, Jackson vows to bring those responsible to justice, even as the stakes rise and secrets surface.

Hannigan quickly swept me into a narrative that balances lighthearted moments with gripping drama. The story alternates seamlessly between tender, blush-worthy interactions and intense, suspenseful twists. While there were occasional moments where I felt the pacing slowed somewhat, these lulls were minor compared to the overall momentum of the plot. The diverse and vividly rendered cast of characters adds depth and richness to the story. Their passions, conflicts, and heartbreaks are palpable, creating a world that feels both authentic and emotionally resonant.

For me, the most compelling aspect of Lost in Prosperity was its exploration of family—how it is built, nurtured, and often defined by bonds far deeper than blood. This heartwarming and thrilling tale is packed with unexpected turns, keeping readers guessing until the final pages.

Lost in Prosperity, by Judy Hannigan, is a captivating Western romance that weaves together themes of love, resilience, and the enduring bonds of a chosen family. If you enjoy stories that combine emotional depth with thrilling intrigue, this book is a must-read. I eagerly anticipate the next chapter in this exciting series!
