He rescues her from the lecherous advances of the town loser and right away her spunkiness calls out to him. He might be one of the good guys, but the life he leads is in no way law The Old West is a dangerous time and place to be female and alone and not only is Brianna Spencer attempting it, she's succeeding. All she needs now is the money owed to her and she will have made it-through one year, at least. That's why Sloan McAlister finds her on the docks trying to collect on a debt owed to her. He rescues her from the lecherous advances of the town loser and right away her spunkiness calls out to him. He might be one of the good guys, but the life he leads is in no way lawful or easy. He feels that he has no right to touch her or claim her, so he turns away, but it's only a matter of time before his heart and "other parts" lead him back to her.

This was a very sweet and sensual story. Mary Wine sprinkled about enough Old West charm to make this a very enjoyable story and an interesting little look into life in an old miner's town. It's charming and quaint, and also dirty, rough and brutal. It's a world where only the strong survive and while Brianna is willing and capable, there's only so much she can do with what God gave her, so the men in the town sit and wait, waiting for that inevitable moment when she will falter. Luckily for her, when one such loser does make his move, Sloan McAlister is there to save the day. This finally puts Brianna in his arms and now that he finally has her, well, his momma didn't raise a fool.

The sex in this book is not very explicit or kinky. Nor is it dirty or lewd. It was very sensual and loving and also very sweet. Sloan McAlister was the type of dream hunk who exists only in our fantasies. The type of big, strong and exciting alpha male who comes riding to our rescue dressed in a low slung Stetson and a black duster, while astride a great big stallion. *sigh* Droooooool.

I hope Mary Wine writes some sequels to this book because I would love to read about Sloan's fellow railroad agents. She teased me with just enough to make me want more. The plot in this book was simple, but had enough thrills to make this more than the usual romantica book. The villains in this book are disgusting and pathetic brutes and I loved it when Sloan put the fear of God into them. I highly recommend this as a sweet and sensual Western romance. :) ...more

A sweet story with some steam. It has the alpha hero with the protective streak that I really enjoy. This is my first novel by this author. I loved the story but I have to admit that it could use a little fleshing out. There's not a lot of backstory. I'm not fond of a lot of "filler" in my reading and I don't think this one needed much. Just a little more development and background on the characters would make me appreciate it more. ...more

This was a relatively short sweet story. It had a very nice HEA. It just moved a little slow for me. There was a LOT of filler info with a plethora of minutiae. There were details about every little thought in the heroine's head. The hero was your typical (somewhat dangerous) alpha. He definitely cared deeply for the heroine, and proved it by his actions. The steam was quite nice....very yummy and often enough for my liking!!! ...more
