Review: Good action, but lacks character development

Dort Wesley specializes in historical romances with strong, feisty women and men who tend toward arrogance and often reeact before they take the time to think. This was the case in Rescuing Serenity. I enjoyed Serenity - I loved that she was an accomplished bounty hunter who had the respect of the townspeople where she lived. Sid was hard to like at first - he was intent on spanking her even before he met her, just because HE was embarrassed in the saloon! I also didn't think much of him for not believing Serenity for so long- or the several townspeople who spoke up in her defense. There could have been much more character development - Serenity "Falls in Love" with Sid within 2 days, even though she was livid with him for much of it. The plot was often rushed as well - we went from Serenity and Sid fighting off 3 brothers, to her delivering a baby(which an innocent woman in those times would know nothing about), to being captured by Indians all within a chapter or 2. The last third of the book was more developed and allowed the reader to know the characters more. I just wish that the first third would have been better developed as well. An average read for me.
