Battle

A rather unusual western novel. I found the two main characters somewhat believable . The storyline was a little random. Not a book I would recommend for a true reader of westerns.

This was a really good western romance story! Lots of action and suspense all woven together with a lot of love and romance. Very tastefully done, well written and hard to put down. I'll definitely be reading more of McConley's work! A very talented author. I would highly recommend it!

An excellent Western

A great story about a man seeking redemption and to start a new life. Will wanted out of his gang so he could start over and find peace and love. This town and the school teacher seem like the blessed place.

Yawn

Implausible characters, painfully saccharine, and terminally bland. Might possibly pass as a toddler's bed time story on a slow night
