More like a 3.5/5 rating for me.

My first Garwood read about Western romance which I felt had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, was lacking a little "something" to make it a 5 star read. The storyline was great and the characters had potential to be unforgettable, however, I found parts of the book to be dragging.

Taylor is desperate to get away from her disgusting uncle who is a selfish, money hungry, uncaring man. Taylor and her grandmother come up with a plan for Taylor to escape to America to elude from her uncle and all his devious ways. The plan includes her marrying a handsome, strong mountain, American, Lucas. Lucas comes with a secretive past and is anxious to leave England, however, he is presented with Taylor to marry her for a sum of money and guarantee he can deliver a safe passage to America. The plan is set in motion, however, after spending several weeks in each other's company they find it difficult to part ways when they are so infatuated with each other. Of course they run into obstacles which eventually prove their love to each other....

A good story between Taylor and Lucas. But like I said earlier I just found something lacking.....
