When Addie claimed that a jailed gunslinger was her husband and took him home with her to the ranch, my first thought was she had to be out of her mind. Then I learned she had a perfectly good reason for doing so.Also, the more the gunslinger's character was revealed, the more I liked him. After all, once he was freed, he could have disappeared, but instead he stuck around to keep his end of the bargain and pretend to be her husband. By doing so he warded off the advances of her desperate neighbor who'd do anything to get her land, even force her into marriage.Addie, though spunky, is naive when it comes to the ways of the world. The gunslinger is quite the opposite. It's obvious they're attracted to each other, but is that enough to turn pretend into real?This short but sweet romance held my attention from the start, and did not disappoint as I read on to the satisfying conclusion.
