The book was adorable for about the first 10 chapters....then it's a spiraling descent into stupidity and repetition that could only end when one throws the book against the nearest wall. At first the story was witty and the characters charming and so true-to-life. The one liners had me laughing out loud. I loved the heroine and rooted for her all the way. Then suddenly it all went wrong. The one-liners became annoying and the focus of the story went off course. Crusie writes with the sole purpose of creating a life her secondary characters...which boggles the mind. The story was then focused on Min's sister and her wedding.

This was a well written story with one flaw....it's not a romance. It's a western. It was marketed to the wrong people. We wanted to see them fall in love....not hear about it. We wanted her to melt in his arms when she saw the undying love in his eyes and in his voice. Texas was one of the best heroes I've ever read...he was vulnerable and so in love with her yet she could care less, until the last chapter, of course. Pretty weak ending but I must say the characters were well written and the story unique. Read at your own risk, depending on what you're looking for.

I rated this so high for the first 3/4's of the book. There was no need to explore the mystery going on in town. We could have focused entirely on Eliza and Aaron and been just as happy. There was more than enough with the brothers' love triangle to keep us satisfied. The author really screwed up the last few chapters with the feeling that the epiloque was from a whole 'nother story. Where did that come from?? Anyway.....I read it straight through with the hopes that I would love it till the last page. No such luck.
