Sweet, clean historical romance during the mining times. A little mystery, a little romance and a few twists and turns. This book is a definite page turner with great characters. Charlotte Albany is from a well to do life but has to go on the run after her fathers passing. She encounters Deputy Everett Myers and enlists his help. This book can be a standalone book, but is a great start to the Hearts of the West books to come.

This story was well written. I enjoyed most of this tale, but I cannot understand how the writers of these books always seem to portray the women as stupid, bumbling idiots and the men as totally fascinated by these bumbling idiots. The "heroine" in this story was worse than usual. I would hate to think what our forefathers would think it they read these stories. Please give them some brains.

Sweet Clean Western Historical Romance
This book was a good clean romance set in the old West. It was true to what I think it was like back then. Women who were able to learn to stand up for themselves but did not mind having a life partner to share their life.

First time read of this Author
Interesting storyline, characters are developed nicely. For me, it was minimal drama, suspense and over all activity should have been more.

Hearts Of The West. Book 1
I liked this book ! The 2 main characters are both attractive, & likable to start with, both “go getters....”. Good story line & quite a nice read! With a little humor added in.. one you can’t put down ....

Interesting idea but rather unrealistic. Also, they were always alone, unchaperoned and pretending to be married; just didn't seem to fit with how a New York society lady would have been.
