Hello Fellow Readers,
I was very intrigued by this book. First of all, I was itching for a historical romance, it being a western was just an added bonus. Second, I love that it went unconventional with the Female Main Character (Abby) being the one to place the advert. Lastly, I wasn't expecting to like both male leads in this. I thought for sure Reynolds would villianize one to make the other look better, as that is what most authors do, but I am so glad the author did not go that route.
I really liked Abby as a character and I was upset on her behalf that in order not to lose her land she had to get married, but the mix up was pretty funny. Both Karl and Carl were good male characters, but I do think that in the end she made the right choice in who she stayed, but I am ecstatic that all characters got their happy endings.
Overall, a pretty enjoyable Western Romance.
