On a parallel Earth. It's 2009...Kylie is on the run from the law for a crime she didn't commit. A promising doctoral student, she's lost everyone and almost everything, except for what she stows in her car. Now, Kylie has to salvage the rest of her life. But where, in this age of GPS tracking, TV's Most Wanted and cameras everywhere?It's 2009...Dillon, Dono and Dash are three brothers desperate for a wife to brand as their own. The Union made women scarce in the Three Star Republic by releasing a bio weapon's plague during the border wars. These tough-as-leather Texans will do anything to keep the right woman, even if they have to lasso her like a wild filly and love on her until she loves them back.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I'm going to split this one right down the middle.  I give this story 2.5 stars out of 5.  This was a very well written story with a great storyline.  I really enjoyed the story itself and appreciated the uniqueness of a parallel Earth with it's own history.  I would actually enjoy reading more of this universe.The downside?  I have to agree with the other reviewers that the slang was just awful and really began to interfere with the story.  A little slang here and there spices up a story to my mind, but this just got ridiculous.  Like a previous reviewer, I started out laughing at it, but 2/3rds the way through the story it became an annoyance.  Quite frankly, if I had to read the lead characters refer to their dicks as "breeding flesh" one more time I was going to lose it.  The characters became caricatures of who Texans really are. And that annoyed me.
