review 1: I like the story line, and I like the characters... its a quick fictional read. the problem I have with all of Ms Nordin's books is that she either doesn't do enough research or her editor does no editing at all. When I come across current slang in books set in the 1870's it stops me cold. I am the type of person who emerses myself in a book and sees the book I'm reading as a movie... so when the character in the 1870's says "guilt-trip" or a 7 year old continuously says that's gross... it really throws me. The one that got me the worst in this one was a card game where there was a description of a card hand... a Royal flush. that should be all one suit A-10. It was described as k,q,j of diamonds and a, k of clovers.... What? sounds like maybe a pair of Kings to me, not a ... more10 in the bunch and def not the same suit... and clovers? did she mean clubs? The only reason I am reading these is because I like the characters themselves, not the background stuff as you can tell. If the books were more than 99 cents, I wouldn't read them.
review 2: I enjoyed reading this well written story. The characters are ones that you can care about, they make you want everything to work out for them.Owen Russell is in deep trouble. In order to save his aunt from poverty due to a bad gambling problem his uncle had, he wins back the money from the group of gamblers and returns it to her. Realizing that they want to kill him, he flees from Louisiana to Nebraska where he runs into the sheriff who mistakes him for Irving Spencer who signed up to be his deputy. Owen decides that this beats death because there are Wanted posters all over the place seeking his arrest. So he plays along and pretends to be Irving. What he doesn't realize is that Irving agreed to marry Jenny Larson. One look at her tells him that she is beautiful, so he agrees to marry her. But what will he do when the real Irving shows up? less
