Rose runs a psychic/medium "con" in post-civil war Texas.  Eugenia wants a wife for her head-strong son and she is convinced that Rose has the strong personality that is needed to make a successful marriage with Travis.  She perpetrates a con of her own to get them together.The first third of this book is really quite good but the last two thirds fails to match up to half the quality if the first part.In the last two-thirds of this book:The expected fireworks between the two were almost non-existent.Instead of the expected romantic interactions, we get the erotic thoughts these two think about each other.  These two very attractive people have the "hots" for each other's body.  These erotic thoughts are repeated over and over and over and over again.  It gets quite tedious.I wanted these two to butt heads and discover reasons to love each other; instead I got hot and horny, resulting in two very steamy sex interludes and a contrived story line, but no real romance.While this book is not terrible, it is not as good as the first part promises.I will not be reading the rest of the series.
