After some sophomoric prose in the beginning chapters, this turned out to be a sweet little story. I like the hero, Tate and the heroine,Kate. Tate and Kate = just a little too cute. The bad guys were horrid and the other side characters did their job.
Read it in one afternoon. Sensuality is a 1 but it got the job done.

TRAIN FROM MARIETTA by Dorothy Garlock
March 3, 2006
Amazon rating 3/5
"Train from Marietta by Dorothy Garlock, 'the voice of America's Heartland', takes place in the 1930s. Katherine Tyler is on her way via train to San Francisco, where she will join her uncle to work as a nurse at a prestigious hospital. She leaves her father John Tyler, as well as her step-mother and half-sister in New York.
Unfortunately, before she reaches her destination, Katherine is kidnapped by several men, one of whom is Eddy, the nephew of her father's business partner. John Tyler is a very wealthy man, and her kidnappers demand a ransom that will allow his partner, William Jacobs, to buy out the business and leave John out in the cold.
Luckily for Katherine, Tate Castle is a fellow passenger on the train. Though their very first encounter is a humiliating one that leaves a bad impression, Tate later comes to her rescue. Thus begins an adventure for wealthy Katherine Tyler. It's one dangerous experience after another as she and Tate run for their lives, pursued by the kidnappers. And of course along the way, the two fall in love." - Complete review at BookLoons - M. Lofton
For those who enjoy historical romances with a cowboy-type setting, this is for you. I didn't care for the simplistic prose, but the story itself was enough to keep my attention.
Rated by buyers -
I am a big fan of Dorothy Garlock's novels. This one was slightly dissapointing to me. It carried less suspense and romantic confliction than in the past. We were told right away who and why people were committing the crime, unlike past novels that made you wonder. Also, the romance between Kate and Tate was slighly ho-hum, without the normal conflicts that have made Garlock's characters realistic. This one was still entertaining and I wanted to finish it, but it was more predictable than we may be expecting from this talented author.

In 1933 Katherine Tyler heads from her home in New York to work for her uncle as a nurse in a San Francisco hospital. However, her father's business partner William has his nephew Eddy Jacobs, boyfriend to Kate's sister Susan, abetted by two thugs (Hayden and Squirrelly) kidnap her in West Texas during a train stop. William plans to use her as a pawn to extort money and other valuables from her affluent dad John.
Kate's desperate father ignores the warnings of bringing in the law; he contacts the Texas Rangers. In turn craggy rancher Tate Castle searches for and rescues Kate. Tate is shocked by his attraction to the seemingly frail city girl; she reciprocates his deep feelings. As they flee together she proves stronger than she looks, but his handicapped daughter Emily rejects her father finding a new love; even if Katherine is willing to give up everything for a ranch life in Texas.
TRAIN FROM MARIETTA is a terrific Depression Era romantic suspense starring two likable protagonists, a realistic child with physical and emotional problems (though both are resolved too easily), and antagonists who range from insane to avaricious to desperate. The action-packed story line never slows down from the moment that William begins his plan until the final altercation with a crazed Squirrelly. A final twist will surprise the audience, but fits the key relationships between the cast and hopefully leads to another Dorothy Garlock 1930's thriller.
