Review: Unique Time-Travel/Western/Mystery/Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

This was a very unique storyline. It's part romance, part western, part fantasy, part mystery and murder. We meet Special Agent Cassie Becker when she wakes up in a cave in Sacramento having been transported 160 years into the past. She has to solve the mystery of how she got there. But in order to do that she has to fit into the culture of the time, which isn't easy to do as an independent, gun-slinging FBI agent. After all, women in those days were seen as fragile and dependent on their men.Although this book is kind of a western, with horses and Sheriffs and saloons, it doesn't really feel like a western. When I started reading it, and then realized it was going to be a western (given the year she travelled back to) I wasn't sure I wanted to continue reading it because I wasn't in the mood for a western. However, the storyline was so interesting, I kept going, and I'm glad I did.This novel is filled with a lot of twists and turns and the conclusion I thought the book was going to come to wasn't what actually happened (I won't spoil the book for you by telling you what actually did happen).There was some swearing in the book (mainly kept to the word "hell") and a few bedroom scenes that were not explicit).I enjoyed the uniqueness of the storyline however, and the character development was pretty good. I think this book was a good foundation for any sequels that will follow.I gave this book 4 stars.Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of this book by the author for my fair and honest review. A free product does not influence my opinion. All thoughts are my own.The version that I read had a lot of editing errors but as the author is having this corrected, I did not penalize the book for this.
