I don't usually read westerns, but the story of a fancy boarding school lady who suddenly inherits bawdy house and herd of Texas cattle from the parents she never knew intrigued me. Then when the girls from Miss Sophie's decide to train to become cowboys and trail the cattle themselves, I was hooked!Marcella, the heroine, is kind and generous and soon learns just how strong she really is. Known around town as "Lucky", Jean Luc is a lonely cowboy trying to drown all that haunts him in the depths of a bottle of malt liquor. Would he ever be worthy of this beautiful, high-class lady who is bent on making her own way?Scott weaves a unique western tale that blends action, adventure, love and new beginnings. Her characters are vibrant and well-written. The romance builds with a depth of emotion, and has a few sensual scenes between the couple. West of Heaven draws the reader in and doesn't let go until the last page!
