This was a good story, though a bit confusing at times, as far as the history of Willow's family was concerned, what with her mother ping ponging between men, her father going from one wife to another to a third, not to mention full, half and step siblings, most of whom were outlaws! Enough!!
The story of Willow and Gideon starts out entertaining, with Willow about to marry another man (not by choice) and the ceremony interrupted by Gideon at the "speak now or forever hold your peace" moment! Seems the bride already has a husband! (I'll leave the details to the readers.)
It's soon apparent how much Willow and Gideon love each other, despite her brother, Steven being a wanted outlaw and Gideon determined to bring him to justice, since he's part owner of the railroad Steven's robbed. Willow's torn between the husband she adores and the brother who's always looked after her and whom she could always count on.
As a subplot, there's the stormy (to say the least) relationship between Willow's father, Devlin and Steven, a lot of love/hate there. There's also daphne, Gideon's ex-fiancée, who ends up falling for Steven.
There were some things that I thought were unnecessary, like Willow and Gideon having a huge argument over her brother, and then each trying to make the other jealous, with Gideon flirting with Daphne and inviting her to a town social, and Willow retaliating by attending with Gideon's brother, Zachary, who's had his eye on her from the start. It's all silly, their acting like that, especially Willow wearing a low-cut dress on purpose. (Why do so many h's think showing their boobs will solve their problems?) In fact, there was too much emphasis on willow's breasts, as Gideon seemed always to have his hands on them. True, she's his wife, but still, he's no high school horndog!
Also, I didn't like the way Zachary made it clear to Gideon that he wanted Willow and would do his best to get her. She's his brother's wife, come on! talk about a crummy lack of respect!
I think my favorite part in the book was when Zachary tries to force himself on Willow and she does what my mom always said to do if you're in that situation: "Give him a good swift kick where it hurts the most!"
I really wanted Gideon to beat the crap out of Zachary after that, but unfortunately, he disappears from the story. (Hopefully, he got run over by a train.)
I also think the Daphne/Steven romance was unnecessary, as it was too rushed and didn't ring true.
There were flaws, but it's still a good story.
