review 1: This Harlequin Historical Western romance took me a while to get through. It just didn't hold my attention, maybe because the author put so many elements into it. The heroine is trying to clear her friend's name of fraud and embezzlement. She's also trying to help her brother, who's gotten involved with outlaws, because--oh yeah, her mother was an outlaw. In fact, she ran with the gang led by the hero's father. Who (in the opening scene) led a posse that ambushed that gang, which ended in a gunfight where everybody died, except the hero. He's no longer a lawman because of guilt (hence the redemption of the title). Oh, and the heroine is dyslexic. She can't read. And there are outlaws that stole the money the heroine's friend is accused of embezzling, and--well, you get the... more idea. In the midst of all this, there's supposed to be a romance? I think if the focus had been on the heroine's dyslexia, or her relationship with her brother, or ... I think there was just too much going on, and the romance got lost a little bit in the middle. It was a decent read. I read all of it, but it was a bit of a struggle.
review 2: The heroine drove me batshit crazy. She alternated between blaming the hero for her family's woes and noting that her brother and mother weren't the most upstanding folks. She never did acknowledge that they brought their fate upon themselves. I never did see what the hero saw in her. She seemed immature emotionally and unrealistic, constantly blaming Jack for everything. Even afyer she tried to kill him and she kept her pregnancy secret, he still accepted her without any qualms. I wanted her to grovel and grovel hard. Her inconsistent behavior ruined the book for me, unfortunately. less
