They are intelligent, independent characters with crisp dialogue between them and constant romantic tension beneath the surface. In the end they always leave the reader in suspense. One wants to see them together and still there is the lingering doubt whether they should be.(less)

“He was still captivated by the young woman who neither demanded nor expected anything of him. His passion for her was undimmed, and he thought at the time it was love. But love withstands trials and tests, he understood now, and they were never confronted with the reality of decisions to be made together and the consequences of the path they might have taken.”
Ron Schwab, Summer's Child

“disappeared”
Ron Schwab, Old Dogs

“only a limited number of the weapons had been manufactured. The rifle’s chamber held fifteen cartridges, and the Confederates called it “the rifle the Yankees load on Sunday and shoot all week.”
Ron Schwab, The Law Wranglers: Western Box Set
