I enjoyed this book. It is a nice, old-fashioned, "Root for the Good Guy, Hiss at his Evil Wife" story. I don't want to give too much away, but the husband is a Scot who comes to America seeking a little adventure and to expand his fortune. His wife thinks Americans are uncouth (well, ain't we :) and wants nothing but to convince him to return to Europe. He has firmly planted his stake in the ground here, and won't be moved. She is conniving, which makes the story enjoyable (few thinks better than seeing a wicked wealth spoiled diva get her comeuppance!) Lots of nice details about that era and location (Colorado just after the peak of the gold rush). Good subplots and characters as well. World the author creates feels "real," which few authors do these days. Definitely recommend this, especially while it's free :)
