Stories of the Old West or mail order brides are some of my favorites. This book was lacking in a couple of ways. The characters were shallow, the writing weak. What surprised me most was the fact we had Bible verses quoted and a few pages later, plenty of graphic sex, which wasn't that well done.One of the things that makes a good story for me is when you feel as though you're part of it. I didn't have that at any time in this book. The little bit of suspense with the mother, sheep and train didn't add anything to the story. It was as though the author was trying to fill a requirement to include some of everything.I also need some degree of believability and this book didn't have it. It wasn't terrible, it just didn't live up to the somewhat questionable five star reviews.
