RATING: 3 stars
Review: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very strange book. The story line itself was good, it was a little predictable, but it was well-written. The author did a good job of writing out the scenes, where I could really see in my mind's eye what it looked like.
I had two big problems with the book. The modern day setting didn't jive with the story line. Maybe it's just because I've never lived out West, or in a town as small as this town was supposed to be, but I think the story would have fit better in the early 1900s at the very least, probably the late 1800s. I still can't envision someone riding a horse in a town where cars are used frequently, in modern day America. I also can't imagine people acting the way they did in the story in modern day America over prostitution or not.
That's why I think it should have been put back in the turn of the century, give or take a decade.
Even the main characters' romance seemed a little too old-fashioned, without some sort of moral reasoning behind it for the characters or a different time line.
