Review: Excellent, Gritty for Christian Fiction

I loved that this book, which I hope is the start of a series, was grittier than any Christian romance I've ever read.  It was a far more realistic picture of the old west and the people who were in it.  The main male lead was quite content in his sin when we first met him, as many sinners are, and so were some of the other characters.  There were real flaws in every character, because we all fall short and no one is perfect.  Making the characters so real and so flawed enabled me to better connect with them and really care what heppened to them.  The story moves at a nice pace as does the character development.This book was far less pollyanna than I'm used to in Christian fiction, though it did get a little heavy on the preachiness towards the middle and end.  If you don't want scripture references or many attempts at evangelism, this isn't the book for you, I happened to love it.Keep writing Heather, I look forward to reading more from you!
