Ok, but not great. Long-suffering Maggie meets emotionally closed off Ryan. Love at First Sight, electric sparks when they touch... Within a week ( or two?) they are completely in love and ready to marry. Maggie, who struggles to barely make ends meet suddenly finds she is a very wealthy woman, as a result of child support payments her disabled father has been saving up.  This is convenient since Ryan became a millionaire by living frugally and tucking away his hostage negotiator salary.  So, they are on even ground. That's some hefty child support and a very well-paid civil servant.Meanwhile Red a ranch-hand who gropes Maggie in the bar she works at reveals his plan to rape and murder her, adding an element of suspense.  Evidently he is a serial rapist who has been preying on local women.This story needs a plausibility check. With more credible explanations, this book might show promise. The characters were likeable and the writing was fine.  A pleasant enough read but I feel the writer could have done so much more.
