Review: Great Western Romance
Rating: 5 out of 5

The sweeping nature of this novel and the fabulous descriptions of the Old West are what drew me into the story. Never has a setting more captivated me than it did in this book. I could see it all, the desert, the wild towns. The plot was well-developed and continued from the first page to the last non-stop. There were some head-hopping issues, jumping from Gabe's POV to Jess's. And I had an issue for some reason with her description. I just could not wrap my head around her being a skinny tomboy and then think of her as a woman a man would desire. That said, however, the romance is what kept me turning the pages. The author drew it out, but so subtle that until the very end, I still prayed for a happy ending. I appreciate that she concentrated more on the feelings between the two characters, than sex scenes, and developed their love over a longer period of time. Jess McLowery is a superb gunfighter character who personifies the Old West for me. That he was tender toward Gabe made him all the more appealing. In fact, more so to me than she was, and for him I kept reading. The ending totally surprised me. Really great Western Romance writing, which I recommend.
