Loved the details, but not the characters, Mar 24 2010

I really don't have strong feelings one way or another on this one. I truly loved the historical details, the "old" meets "new" ( buggies, wagons and horseback vs automobiles, frontier medicine meets "modern" medicine, etc), however I couldn't help but think that Clara was a smidge too progressive for the time period. I also liked how this "western" was set a little later than usual (just after World War I). As for plot and characters, I wasn't drawn into the story. I thought that there was a bit too much going on in a relatively short time frame (I could expand, but don't wish to spoil the plot if you plan to read the book). Perhaps if the characters had been developed a bit differently, I wouldn't feel the couple so mismatched - in age, maturity, ambition, background. Overall, I wouldn't recommend buying this one - maybe borrow it to see what you think.

These romance novels are not great literature, but this one was good enough to keep my attemntion until the end. And, there we fiesty females then, do that comment didn't make since to me.

I felt this story flowed very well. I liked the characters, but I had also read the first novel in this series, "The Borrowed Bride", which I think helped with getting a better background and understanding. The main two characters were 10 years apart, which I didn't think was too drastic. I enjoyed this novel, especially after reading the first.
