This book was a huge let down coming on the heels of her Irish series which I absolutely loved.

I gave it the benefit of the doubt for 70 pages or so, just long enough to get into it so far that I would have to finish it (at least per my "rules" :D). I figured that the cliché vocabulary would be limited both in frequency and to which character used it. No luck. Everything about this book was cliché and full of everything I absolutely despise about pedestrian Christian writing. What made it worse was that it seemed like Windsor was trying to write a book set in the west of the late 1800s (which for some reason is the only time and place that most Christian authors think they can set their novels) but this "wild, wild west" was actually from a recent time. Not only was the vocabulary incredibly pedestrian but it was also "squeaky clean". You should have seen all the hoops Windsor had to jump through to make sure the readers knew that the character was swearing but to keep those swear words out of the text. So not necessary.

I really wanted to like this book but there's just no way. It's going in the donate pile even though I recommend that no one reads it.
