First book was the only 1 I liked
The first book was good. Very predictable and the characters weren't built up. Very basic man and woman thrown together,due to circumstances, fall in love and get married.

Only one Oregon trail story
Here I was expecting romance along the Oregon trail stories but there was only one. Most of the others were Romance stories from the present days. All in all the stories were good and read quickly.

Mix of stories
Instead of one story this is a collection of stories. The first and last are the only western stories. The rest are contemporary. Several we're quite good.
