We meet the hero Ben Morgan in the first sentence of the prologue. From there the story runs along like a western cattle drive to keep the analogy to the western book. That is to say the story is big, broad, and powerful. If the cattle on the drive are not controlled then they will stampede and scatter. With the size of the herd, as in number of characters and things happening in the story, this could have been a stampede. However the cattle boss, aka author Lauren Linwood, rode herd and kept the story moving powerfully along reaching the end of the drive without losing any cattle along the way.Maggie Rutherford, the heroine turns out not to be what you would expect in a New York women of society. In fact her introduction and stampede into the story is executed with the polish and style of a society debutante, which Maggie is definitely not. Again the author is the one who executes this smooth insertion that keeps the cattle drive (story line) moving along over the rugged topography of the west as Maggie adds the spice that keep everyone on their toes.This cattle drive (story) will keep you involved even when you should be doing something else. Much like the cowboys who keep the cattle moving, you will want to keep turning the pages to keep the story flowing as Ben and Maggie travel to their HEA. A great read but be sure to allow time to read as you can’t do this one in short sessions, much like once the cattle drive is started there is no stopping until you reach the end of the trail.
