Review: Colby's child
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 12 4, 2011
Jason Colby is rich. He has a gold mine, a hotel, a few businesses and the town named after him.Jenny is a young widow whose husband, Myles, has just been murdered and who has just given birth to her daughter Lily. She does not trust Jason and believes him arrogant, cold and hard.  Jason intends to protect Jenny and Lily from the harsh aspects of life in a mining town. First by keeping the outlaws away and, when rats endanger Lily, by giving the widow and the child a bedroom in his home.The plot is not bad but nothing much happens and it takes forever to get to the big secret of Jason's past life. Similarly, there is sexual tension between the two protagonists but, although married, it takes them months to consummate the wedding. The plot needed to proceed at a much quicker pace or secondary characters (Seth the brother for example)could have been more developed. The villains were mostly absent and not threatening at all. Also, the idea of importing brides was nice but barely touched upon.Part of the novel was OK but some was frankly almost boring.
