This book captured me from the beginning to the end! Ellie wants to be a teacher, and heads West to make that happen. Charlie is the Sheriff, and when they meet there is definite attraction. Charlie just wants to be a good Sheriff and protect the town and all the people. Now he finds himself unexpectedly that he is captivated by Ellie. But there are nefarious things happening, and an angry violent force doesn't want things to go well, to put it mildly. If you are ready for some excitement, fear, and love, read this great book!

Historical Western Romance + Adventure
I absolutely loved this book! I was immediately drawn to the heroine and her story; her determination to take control of her life and her willingness to do the hard thing to make that happen are just the beginning of her adventures. This is a book that makes you forget you're reading! The author uses vivid imagery to truly bring the characters to life.
I only noticed one typo.

Good
I enjoyed the story and the extended epilogue. However, the book seemed to drag a bit for me towards the end. Really enjoyed how the mother got her HEA as well. Liked how Ellie addressed things with Molly. Wallace was a good friend too. Would've been nice to know whether the brother actually DID change or not.
Still, a good read with a good ending.

Sweet romance
If you love romance and aren't picky about modern words used in a historical setting, you'll probably love this.
For me it's a bit too much like a book for young readers. That's not a bad thing, just not my cup of tea.

Charlie the sheriff and Ellie the teacher
Having a brother only for family who was becoming a drunk and gambler, Ellie decides to answer an ad to be a teacher in Oregon and make a new start all on her own. The retiring teacher is also the sheriff’s mom. Good story!
