Merry Farmer writes with an attitude of compassion and generosity.  Even the villain of this story gets a kind resolution when he deserves incarceration.  The premises of this series involve failed morality followed by second d chances in the raw and isolated West of the 1890s.  Good people, from bad situations can turn their lives around and find happiness in beautiful, but harsh, Montana.This story begins with the contrast between English high society morés and Western standards.  An abandoned young woman of the gentility believes the wrong man's promises and is rescued from a life of depravity by our Western hero.  Believing herself to be beyond redemption she fights their mutual attraction.  The plot twists and the characters developed in surprising ways.  And the town of Cold Springs, Montana enfolds them with acceptance.I look for sympathetic and complex heroines in believable situations.  I enjoy imperfect heroes who try hard.  And I require interesting story lines.  I also reject supernatural solutions as the easy way out of a plot.  This series exceeds my expectations.
