I absolutely loved this book! The history and story telling was wonderful. It kept me on the edge of my seat, made me cry, made me laugh, and made me smile more than any other book has thus far in my life. It’s phenomenal.

A quick, fun read for those who love to dream of living in rugged mountains. Ms. Black needs to find a different editor/publisher. The numerous errors were distracting to the reader. Some pages were printed twice.

This isn't a heavy read, but what a fun book, with a non-traditional love interest! A little steamy.
