[Cameron · Rating 2 out of 5]

So, Coll is a rebel outlaw wiht a heavy heart and Dayra is a headstrong woman struggling to get by on the wild frontier.
Seriously not all that bad, but the plot didn't flow as well as it could have, there were a lot of convenient coincedences and the bad guys just don't seem all that threatening.
And the author was freakin' obsessed with Dayra's hair. It got a little creepy how often it was mentioned.
Props to whoever did the cover though, it actually references the story.
