This was a good read, but not great.  I enjoyed most of the story and the characters.  There was a point about 2/3 of the way through when I started skimming.  It became a bit repetitive.  I also felt that the two main characters were somewhat overt in their attentions to each other in public, for that era.  A couple, even married, would not kiss openly and feel each other up around a campfire on a wagon trail.  It just wouldn't happen.  Also Marty (main female character) taking off alone with Caid (wagon trail guide) all afternoon alone.  I felt this author didn't review or care about what was considered appropriate in the era in which she chose to write.  I also felt the author missed an opportunity to delve into the fact that not a lot was known about hemophilia and the implications of that blood disease, even if it was just in an epilogue.
