Anna Haspura is home on The Devil’s Gate Ranch because Tavis, the man who raised her as a child when her parents died is now dying.  Anna grew up with Ivan and Brad on the ranch.  They are not blood related but they have known each other all of their lives. Ivan has gotten married but Anna still wants him. She always has and it seems, she always will. 

Danger and secrets surround the ranch and when Anna become Tavis’ heir, things get worse. Something or someone is killing the cattle, is it the mysterious Akerra or devil worshipers? Or something even worse, someone they all know and trust?

The Devil’s Gate has a good storyline filled with lots of suspense and many secrets. Unfortunately the secrets become abundant and the story goes onto several tangents.  The relationship between Anna and Ivan is a bit awkward as well. Ivan is married through most of the book and Anna leads Brad on a bit.  Although The Devils’ Gate has a good basic plot, the delivery fell flat for me.
