Great first book, loved the story 👍🏽

Had great potential, but this book was filled with inconsistencies! I had no idea what was happening half the time. One example, the book opens with the year being 1894, but later in the book the women are wearing what is described as Edwardian dresses, which would make the year between 1901-1914ish? I honestly feel like this author either used AI to write the majority of the book or didn’t proofread anything she wrote.

I don’t usually read romance books but one of my friends told me about this book and I genuinely couldn’t put it down. I loved the story between Cass and Eleanor and we need more happy ending lesbian representation in media. This book was an incredible surprise and I can easily say it’s my favorite book I’ve read so far this year.

This has been such an epic story, it transports you to the Wild West action as if you were part of the gang. I loved the romantic relationship surging between Cass and Eleanor. I can’t wait to read Valeska’s next book
