PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Using narrative heavy with Larry McMurtry-style jargon, Anderson (Simply Love; Forever After) blends the crusty ambience of a cattle drive through New Mexico with the sensitively written shock of a young girl's trauma after she witnesses the brutal deaths of her Quaker parents. After an attack by thieves, Rebecca Morgan is in trouble: the wagons are ruined, her companions are dead. So when rancher and gunslinger Race Spencer happens by and offers to take her (and the only intact covered wagon, complete with a hidden stash of money), she can't really refuse. Spencer tries to heal and bed Rebecca, managing the latter with Anderson's usual charm and humor. But when the healing becomes more than he can handle, he has no choice but to find Rebecca's people and return her to them. Unfortunately, that's where the bad guys are. Despite the rich texture, this tale is disappointing in its unevenness and lack of originality.
Customer Reviews
Sweet but melancholy
I enjoyed reading it. But towards the end I kind off couldn't wait to finish it already. I do wish there was a little less solitary reflection and a little more interaction between the main characters. They really didn't start talking until almost pg. 250 and even after had little conversations. Epilogue probably had more action from Rebecca than the entire book.
