Thalia: The Widows of Wildcat Ridge Book 7, Sweet Western Historical Romance Kindle Edition

by Charlene Raddon (Author), Widows of Wildcat Ridge (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (190)
In the small mining town of Wildcat Ridge, the only thing more plentiful than widows is whiskey. But for Thalia Plunkett, rather than the threat of starvation or losing her home it's s man's descent into alcoholism that shatters her heart.

Dinky Moon, the town's handsome and charming bachelor, once the pride of Wildcat Ridge, is now the town drunk. Being one of the only men to survive a devastating mine disaster and losing his wife to another man, caused Dinky to turn to the bottle. Now, his addiction has taken over his life and threatens to consume him completely.

Unable to stand by and watch the man she loves self-destruct, Thalia makes it her mission to save him. But as she delves deeper into Dinky's situation, she uncovers a dark secret that threatens to tear them apart and endanger their lives. And as a mysterious stranger begins to stalk Thalia, she must race against time to save Dinky and herself before it's too late.

Hello and welcome to my author page. Let me tell you a little about myself, as that seems to be the main purpose of this profile. Believe it or not, I began my fiction career in the third grade when I told my class that a little sister I never had died of a black widow bite. I also wrote books through my teen years, always about a girl whose mother mistreated her by making her wash dishes, sweep the floor... you get the idea. Never finished any of those stories. But the idea of writing a real book and publishing it never occurred to me. It was a particularly vivid dream that drove me to drag out a portable typewriter and go to work on my first novel. In 1990 my second completed book, Tender Touch, brought me a first place win in a writing contest and the following year became a Golden Heart Finalist. That won me an agent and a contract from Kensington who published five of my western historical romance novels. My books have placed or won in other contests as well. Forever Mine received a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award nomination. I've always loved the Old West and I believe my novels reflect that emotion through their depth and vibrancy. I am always working on a new story. I hope you try my books and enjoy them. Follow me here on my author page and on my website at https://charleneraddon.com & get a free book.

    Thalia is determined to help Dinky. Since his wife left him he is constantly drunk. Can Thalia help the man she loves get sober and can they save the newspaper office? Of course is there the town villain Mortimer Crane but there’s a new man in town, what are his plans?
    I really enjoyed this entertaining story. Thalia is a very strong character that will do a lot to help her friend Dinky but is also one of the main characters in the town. I’ve read a couple of the books in this series and I really liked them all.

    A couple side romances that have been building in the other stories comes to fruition! We heard about Thalia's young age, but never heard how much older the man she marries is. I look forward to the end of this series, only because I know Mortimer will finally get his comeuppance! Not sure what to make of the new stranger to town. I wonder if he'll have his own romance too!

    4.0 out of 5 stars THE TWISTS AND TURNS OF LIFE
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    The series revolves around Wildcat Ridge, Utah, where the Gold King Mine was located. This is a historical western, multi-author series about the women left behind and what they must do to keep their homes, their late husband’s businesses, and survive. In March 1884, an explosion occurred that altered the lives of those who did not perish in the disaster. One hundred and forty-three men, plus nineteen women and thirteen children, died that fateful day. Now, Mortimer Crane is making threats against those left behind because he owns the town.

    “Mortimer Crane owns this town, whether we like it or not. If he chooses to tear down our buildings or move them to his new mine at Clear Creek, there is little we can do to stop him. Mortimer has given us three months to pay the rent and mortgage payments we owe him before he tears down the town. And he will not renew rental leases for any woman running a business in her dead husband’s absence unless she has a new husband managing the business.”

    “We can’t avoid the obvious, ladies. We must remarry.”

    Thalia Plunkett is alone in the world. She lost her father, Ancil Plunkett, and her fiancé, Jeffrey Hinkleman, in the Gold King mine collapse and explosion. She had already watched the man she had secretly loved court and marry another woman, Claramae, and then Duncan ‘Dinky’ Moon took to the bottle when Claramae ran off with a tinker two weeks after Dinky lost his mother, when Sadie Moon had given her life trying to save miners. Seeing Dinky drinking his life away, she realizes he needs help, and she is determined to help him.

    Dinky: Who the devil gave you permission to take over my newspaper?
    Thalia: Certainly not you. If I waited for you to sober up enough to make a sensible decision, hell would be frozen over.
    Dinky: What’s happened to you, Thalia? Invading my home. Trying to direct my life. Taking over my business. And, now, using language no woman should utter.
    Thalia: Well, let’s see. What’s happened to me? Golly, that’s difficult to say. It might have been the calamity that took place at the Gold King Mine. Which, by the way, killed my father, in case you hadn’t noticed his absence. Or, well, not only did I lose my father but my fiancée as well. If that isn’t enough, my mother died of a broken heart only two weeks later.

    Once again, Mortimer Crane is preying on the women in Wildcat Ridge. There is nothing he can do to the home Thalia lives in because her father owned it. But that doesn’t stop him from soliciting her to come work at his Gentlemen’s Only Salon.

    “You, Mortimer Crane, can go to the devil. The two of you are well-suited to each other.”

    The story is a continuing saga of the widows and unmarried ladies who live in Wildcat Ridge and the challenges they face. This issue covers the angst between Dinky and Thalia. It also has a stranger who is lurking around town, before and after the horse auction. He will go as far as to push his way into Thalia’s home. But she has trouble from several other men—breaking into her home and putting her life in jeopardy. Mystery, suspense, secrets, and revelations play their roles as Thalia’s life has some surprises. I enjoyed the story, but some issues were brought up and just left hanging--like the fire.

    Characters and plot, the two most important things in a great book, and this book has them both! It's an unusual story line and I'm sure it works so well because of the layered characters. Not overdone, but enormously strong and interesting. Thalia carries you right along. Loved it from start to finish, and didn't find any problems like one reviewer mentioned. Excellent writing, highly recommend.

    The tragedies she suffered aged this feisty 17 year old aged her emotionally an forced her to become a grown up overnight, but it is her strong feisty spirit that endears her to most people. Mortimer Crane shows up at his worst as always, our villain we love to hate. Mystery and suspense abound throughout this story but we are treated to more than one HEA at the end. This clean sweet romance is suitable for YA and up readers.
