So, I finished the first story and I have to laugh because the author sets her stories in Montana, but she's from Canada, and she uses English words and phrases like "at university" and "wee bit". Also, Ace wore "rugby shorts". I felt like I was back in Scotland, not Montana!
Later...I finished the second story, Darcy's Inheritance, and it was much better.
Finally...didn't care for the third story.
