Goodreads review by Missy on February 18, 2017

Being judgemental of the title, it took me a bit to finally pick this book up and read it. Happy I found this page turner, I found that I could hardly put it down. I enjoy a well written historical fiction. Being a Texas girl myself, I'm drawn to stories of the old west and cowboys.......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on March 27, 2024

Enjoyable. Choked full of stereotypes ( a prostitute with heart of gold, a drunkard on his way to redemption). Wished had more interactions with some characters like Yearly and Pickles, but wanting more of those characters shows how much I enjoyed them.......more
