Review: Not a formula romance
Rating: 5 out of 5

The special attributes of this author is that her plots and characters are very different from all the other novels of this type out there.  Also, the first few pages are always dynamite. The h entering a bar in those days, starting a bar fight in which the H gets knocked out and then dumping the women in the funniest jail imaginable is just a spectacular way to launch the story. The reader is completely hooked. The characters are complex people with failings and difficulties.  The West in the mid 1800's was rough and tumble. A woman alone had a very hard time surviving and had limited options, especially if she had been abused.  Abigail reflected that realistically.
