This was a good story of the old west at a town where outlaws dwelled.
It is an idealistic town where only 'good' outlaws lived. Nobody who killed were welcome.
Miranda's parents settled the place where her father -an outlaw- could keep his wife
and daughter safe. Her mother died and her father died a few years later leaving her 'uncle' to finish raising and caring for her. her Uncle rant the restaurant and bunks.
A tall, dark, handsome man rode into town with the regular Sully gang. Never had she before been so attracted to anyone. He seemed to share her feelings. Her uncle's rule was nobody was to mess with Miranda. What occurred was typical yet well-written.
It would be a great Young Adult western romance except it contains too much profanity
and some very unnecessary, steamy sex-scenes.

Really slow. Also, too many overlapping coincidences to be anything but predictable.

Not my usual kind of book, but I enjoyed it! I loved the characters and the setting. It was entertaining from start to finish. Might have to read more books in this genre ;)

Maureen Child from 1993. Excellent western hist/rom - bit of a different plot, likeable characters. Luckily I have a few more Carberry historicals. I hope they're as enjoyable as this one was.
