Review
This was not the typical, trendy western romance novel; which I really appreciated! It was full of quirky moments, and narrow escapes. The plot line was unique, and just when you would think that things were coming to an end, a new twist would throw you for a loop. ;) The story line was fascinating! I especially enjoyed Professor Harold Donovan. He went to Harvard University, but had a "wandering foot" as he called it, and he spent his time making herbal concoctions that helped people with various ailments. He had a huge vocabulary, compared to Bryan, whose vocabulary was small. Bryan was the main character. I liked his personality and how he stood up for what was right, even if it was difficult.
If you're looking for a unique western-themed read, this book is a great option!
