I love VT’s romances 🕯 🌙 ... absolutely entertaining and enticing with a quirky sense of humor. I hesitate to start one of her romances because I’ll have to finish it. It’s like saving that last delicious chocolate or slice of cheesecake 😁 ... wanting to savior it before it’s all gone. Same thing for me with her romances, I savor the stories unread until I’m ready to come to terms with finishing it. 😋🤩

Once again, this story didn’t disappoint- it was great and I love the way she got her “Colt” to come around. Hehe 😉😏

This was the first Victoria Thompson book I've read outside of the Gaslight Mysteries, and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be reading more of her other books!

I enjoyed this story. The characters were well-developed, and I learned a lot about the introduction of sheep farming in Texas.

I definitely knew who the bad guy was almost as soon as he showed up. I had a few tense moments when the heroine did not know who the bad guy was, but in the tradition of romance novels, it all turned out well in the end.

I did have to actively suspend my disbelief a couple of times, but it was not often enough to cause a serious problem with my enjoyment of the story.

Rereading old books from my bookshelf. Okay, but not as good as I remembered. Clearly, my reading tastes have changed.

Far too many typographical errors; proofing lax; had no problem determining the villain.
