First, I reviewed this book through NetGalley. I loved the premise, the way it is laid out makes it an easy read. I enjoyed the characters. The male lead isn't near as interesting as the female, but that was fine. Then we come to the practical matter of the writing. The author really needs to have the book looked at by a content editor. There were a couple of places I chalked it up to voice, but in other places there are words not used correctly. They are close, off a tad. In a couple of places, my historically accurate meter hit a high note when encountering words that were more current than old west, Still I liked the book. There is a lot of research in it and the whole thing flows nicely. A solid book that could be made better.
