Review: Multi-layered and well written

Dance With a Gunfighter introduces readers to two characters who seem to be complete opposites. One is a young, sweet girl, age 16, at a town dance. The other is a war-hardened gunfighter, like a real one because this all takes place in the Old West. But despite being such dissimilar creatures, something draws each one to the other. They share a magical dance together to create the title of the book...and the rest of the drama that follows.What follows is action, surrounded by several sweet scenes, and a burning motivation of dark revenge. This story is well-layered, and richer in plot than most romances, but at times it does become a bit much. Too many obstacles appear between the couple, and it starts to feel forced. It becomes hard to like Jess, the title gunfighter, and Gabe (the heroine) was hard for me to relate to.But the writing is solid. Strong imagery, honest dialogue and tense action scenes make this book a good read. I would certainly recommend it to fans of romance novels.
