FASCINATING - DEFINITELY A KEEPER, Mars 5 2004
Wyoming Territory, 1882.
Simon Grant is held up and beaten. Stoved in ribs and left bound and horseless.He is not quite clear how he makes it into town but he is laid up - how many days? He is more upset about his horse, Rain Cloud being taken than the money that he lost. As luck would have it Rain Cloud is the reason that the gang leader and his scrawny young rider gets caught. Ah, but he is a she. And a fiery haired innocent at that. She is thrown in jail with her pa and glad to get away from the groping deputy marshall. Simon is tended to by his ex-fiancee, the sheriff's daughter, Cissy, who demands that someone do something about the young miscreant, Willow. The sheriff's brilliant idea is to marry Willow off to Simon, who has no inclination towards marriage. The story blossoms around the trials and goof-ups of Willow as she unwittingly seduces Simon and his wheel-chair ridden father. Until the bad-aaa, Jake and his two cronies show up. Jake was determined to have Willow, willing or not. Simon was not about to give his wife up. There is so much more that the book is hard to put down. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- should be a keeper for most.
