At the risk of sounding redundant, the plot was a pleasant change to the typical western romance. The heroine was struggling to maintain her independence but she was not silly or unrealistic about it. Surprisingly, her sexual needs as a widow were shown without it being trashy.The cowboy hero Joseph, wronged by his own father, had a good head on his shoulders and stood by his principles despite what those around him thought. He was a caring, loving father and husband who had to work through a good deal of mental conflict to resolve the wrongs from his past.Without giving too much away, I'll say the manner in which Joseph and his father came together was very genuine and realistic.The many emotions and feelings, loss, romance, happiness, conflict, made the whole story very realistic.The one caveat is the amateurish writing. At times it read like a high school paper. If the story weren't so enjoyable, the missing words, errors and writing style would have severely detracted from the book.
