[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

A tentative 4 stars for me, sometimes 3.5 but sometimes 4. It was a very interesting book and the author was very descriptive so that I could picture many things, but there were some things I felt lacking. Even though she was descriptive, there were times where I felt like there wasn't enough development of characters' relationships or situations for me to fully understand them or connect to them. But overall it was very impressive for a self-published book, enough to make me want to read the sequel. My biggest disappointment was that there wasn't more history of what exactly happened between Nate's grandfather and the other Indian who died to make me understand that part of the story either. Basically all we get is just that the wronged father said he was wrong, but we have no idea what really happened and I wanted to know. Again, very impressive for a self-published book and a clean read. There are a few references to sexual situations but nothing descriptive at all.

I really enjoyed the action and adventure in this western romance. It was a very interesting well put together book. I had a problem with the immaturity of the main characters but when I realized they were only 16 for most of the book, I understood. The dialog was not as natural as I would have liked, but this is the first book by this author and it did improve as the book progressed again I wonder if it was because of their immaturity. As they matured I grew to like the book more. This is an adult romance as it deals with premarital sex, but was not too detailed.
