Rating: 3 out of 5

Set in 1868 in the town of Greeville Mississippi. The story centres on Zach McCade US Marshall and Suzanne Martindale town doctor. Both are single and have no attachments. Hence the constant attention both attract from the wife/husband hunters in town. They make an agreement to pretend a courtship and engagement to fend of all the unwanted attention they receive, neither wish to be married. Zach sees his job as too dangerous to take a wife, and Suzanne wants to concentrate on her work as a doctor, marriage would soon put a stop to that, as any potentential suitor would expect her to give it all up. There is a strong attraction between Zach and Suzanne. Can they keep their arrangement strictly business.For the most part this was an enjoyable story set in the old west. I particularly liked Zach he was charming and sexy. Suzanne did grate on my nerves a bit, her manner at times was abrupt and often out and out rude. The beginning of the story drew me in and I thought this was going to be a whole lot better than it was. The plot, as it moved forward needed more fleshing out IMO. The explicit sex scenes seemed out of place, and were somewhat at odds with the rest of the story. I was surprised that Suzanne was so forward in her advances towards Zach.ARC courtesy of NetGalley
