Hmmm Perplexed look. I bought the book because the cover and synopsis promised a very entertaining read. Huh. I felt slightly as if I'd been had.
Ok, we're all familiar with covers lying to us but come on; the h impersonates a BOY throughout the book. You can't do that with waist length blond locks and a dress you idjits. The H knows she's a girl right off the bat because he encounters boobage, but nobody else does.
Entertainment? Not really. He's a Pinkerton agent undercover in the James gang. He gets shot - why I dunno as the sheriff knew who and what he was - and she gets to care for him. She has moments of being...dense. A wounded man tells you to get the lead out and you have to sit somewhere and ponder an eternity before figuring he meant to dig the bullet out? Seriously? Also, I'm sure that swiss army knife could have been used to illustrate her being from the future.
Bit of amusement about the horses - one of the outlaws rode a thoroughbred. Didn't even rate capitalization. The H rode a Morgan. Not just any Morgan (note capitalization), but a Black Hawk Morgan... as opposed to Lippitt, Brunk or...
Other things, time often passed from paragraph to paragraph rather jarringly. Most authors use a break to indicate a scene or drastic time change but there was one point where several hours and a scene change both happened from one paragraph to the next w/no indication of said changes.

The Outlaw Heart by Vivian Knight-Jenkins
I liked this story.
The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.
A professional stuntwoman, Caycee Hammond was used to working in a world of illusions. Pistol blanks firing around her and fake bottles breaking over her head were tricks of the trade. But she couldn't believe her eyes when a routine stunt sent her back to an honest-to-goodness Old West bank robbery. And bandit Zackary Butler was far too handsome to be anything but a dream. Before Caycee knew it, she was dodging real bullets, outrunning the law, saving Zackary's life, and longing to share the desperado's bedroll. Torn between her need to return home and her desire for Zackary, Caycee had to choose between a loveless future and . . . The Outlaw Heart.
