This is a really BAD book. Jake Maddox is a lawman, ready to retire and settle down, who meets Maisie Jane Jackson on a stagecoach that is robbed. He winds up marrying her when she gets in trouble for attempting to shoot the man who killed her brother. There is no plot; I scanned the last half of the book because it was so awful. Jake is written as a male with great sexual stamina and prowess; Maisie Jane comes off as an airhead who doesn't have the sense God gave a goose. The sexual content is bold and there is cursing. The part that really bothered me was the "teaching" of Maisie by Jake. There are spankings all through the book; precipitated by Maisie using words like" lust" in front of Jake, handling his weapons, reading dime novels and being "sassy". She knows when he is going to punish her but the idiot walks up to him and lets him do it anyway. All of this is done under the guise of teaching her to be a good wife; I see it more as a form of spousal abuse. I really regretted buying this book; if this is the type of writing MS has to offer, I wonder how she got the book published to begin with; I will never purchase another book  by this author; DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK!
