Reading this book made me feel like I had one foot in the old West, and the other in contemporary times.Then, there were the discrepancies in the story. At one time, I thought Miranda's sister was 16, 17 years old. Miranda made a reference to the girls dancing topless in the bar being around the age of her sister, Gracie.  Then Casey made a reference to being able to get one of the girls in the bar if he just wanted a woman. Later in the book, Miranda talked about  people may not want a 13 year old underfoot, referring to her sister.  I'm hoping the woman in the bar were not 13.Next, the Sheriff comes out to the ranch. You think it's about the reason Miranda left home, but it's about something COMPLETELY different. I can't see why it was even necessary to include that part in the book.The basic storyline was decent, but, in all honesty,  I felt while reading it that the development was all over the place. At the beginning, Miranda seemed like this prim, proper, stiff character but has no problem undressing Casey, a man she barely knows.The beginning of the book was pretty boring, but I guess the explanation was necessary to understand about Bernard, his 6 sons, the ranch, his deceased wife, etc.I don't know. It might just be me. I didn't feel any consistency in the way the story progressed. Other than the point being Casey and Miranda marrying, I really don't know about the content in this book. Maybe I missed something. I 're-read too much of the book trying to see what I had missed. It wasn't good enough for me to read it again to find out, and I would only read another in this series if it was also free.
