I'm not usually into Westerns, but this book was recommended to me by a friend, and I loved the premise, so I wanted to try it out.There's a lot going on in this book, but I really liked that about it.  It starts with some great tension and allure (check out the sample if you don't believe me!) and it just keeps getting better from there.  There's some really great speed ups, then a little slowing down to catch up, but those are the good parts since you never feel like you're being left behind in the whole thing, you know?  I've read some books that are so fast paced that it's hard to keep track of everything, but Dark Prairie Fire gives you plenty of time to let everything simmer, even if it heats up to a steamy boiling every once in awhile.The tension between Cat and Ethan is really sexy, too.  There's dominance in there, with more than a bit of suspense, too.  I love stories like that, where it's not just about the sexual attraction between the two characters, but there's some actual meat to the plot.  The sexual attraction is great, but I always want more, and this book definitely gives it to you.What I really liked was how steamy and sexy some of the scenes were, but they weren't too dirty, you know?  Like... -naughty-, yes, and these characters are getting things done, but it still had a tinge of spicy sweetness to it, too.  It's a bit more classy than some other erotic romances I've read, which is more my style for this kind of story.Overall, a great read!  If you haven't tried a Western romance out before and are a little worried, don't be.  I was kind of worried at first, too, but this book is great and easily approachable for anyone not too familiar with the genre.
