Wow, this was an incredible book. I felt like I had been transported right back to New Mexico.Characters - I thought all of the characters in the book were well developed and well rounded. It took a little while to get there but the details were fleshed out nicely and the characters seemed very real. I lived in New Mexico for a number of years and I thought that the author did a brilliant job with the characters and captured the essence of living in New Mexico. Some of the characters reminded me of friends that I have left back there.Plot - This book grabbed me from the first couple of chapters and kept me reading straight through to the end. The plot advanced very nicely with no stumbles or illogical twists or turns. I felt the pace flowed very well and kept me interested at every point in the book. I felt no desire to skip ahead in this book.Language, sexual content, violence - NONE in this book. There is a budding romance and it doesn't include every detail of what they do. There is no swearing and no violence in this book. It would be a good general audience book.I have already started the second book in the series (which I downloaded as soon as I finished the first book). The characters are very likable and the book has a "down home" charm to it. I did feel like I was back in northern New Mexico with some of my friends. I hope the second book is as good as the first one was. The book was very professionally done. It also had no formatting, spelling or grammar issues.The only thing that I would have loved to have seen in this book were a mention of the interesting "Cow Crossing" signs that are all over Taos...
