Review: Christian Fiction Lite With Fun Romance
Rating: 3 out of 5

A fairly entertaining story about a perfect imaginary world in which cowboys act like total gentlemen (who are perfect, yep, those gentlemen!) and everyone, literally everyone is redeemed; more or less, by the heroine just trying hard to love them!  It's not listed as Christian fiction but the author is at goodchristiancowgirl dot com, and that's fine.  Just wish I'd of known as it would have stopped even the teensy bit of suspense I felt.Mostly, I finished it feeling annoyed by the one sentence in the book that wasn't charitable, forgiving and sweet - that the "soiled doves" exorbitant prices used up all the cowhands money!!! And, gasp, how a cowboy could come speak with a decent woman straight from one - even though he'd bathed, of course)I imagine "soiled doves" got very very little of those exorbitant monies, and certainly deserved every penny up til their early death.I did enjoy the scenery descriptions and the falling in love obstacles, but if I heard the term Mr/Ms. Jones one more time....well I did over and over and over right up to the end of the book. But the relationship between the lead characters was lovely - if only real life were that good!  And the writer was good at descriptions of place and characterizations; it was nice to read a book where the characters - unlike vampire novels, which I mainly read, smile - were all good souls.A note on soiled doves, from the excellent website soiled-doves dot com:  "For their efforts, like other pioneers of that time, they risked disease, injury and in some cases death."  The site is worth a look just for it's amazing historical research presented.
