This is a very well written western romance set in the late 1800's. It was appealing and a must read for ROMANCE lovers.I liked how the female character was not considered a beauty and how she overcame this perceived flaw by becoming an accomplished musician.I also liked how the male lead kept putting his foot in it socially- no PERFECT people here- which is how a good story should be.Some of the sexy scenes are maybe a little too sexy (for me, anyway) but true love is the story here, which is nice.The only thing that struck me as arbitrary was the fact that the girl almost freezes to death on the church porch during an ice storm and the young preacher drags her inside- thus saving her life. Problem is- that also seals the deal- they are unchaperoned thus now they will be married.I know that society was buttoned up tight back then and a "proper" lady would not be caught dead staying the night at a single man's house (in this case, church) but this was an accident- does it necessarily follow that these two must wed?At any rate, this is sure to please the romance crowd- and I applaud the fine writing and editing-4*
