sofisticada lesbiana.

i mean, shit, this was endlessly frustrating.

that fucking letter hanging over everyone's head for fifty chapters like the sword of damocles?

and what in the hell was up with random officer Latino de Hispanipants?

dull, rambling, and as tightly-plotted as a game of monopoly.

PS: this was the review that most accurately reflected my many, many unhappy notes on this book.


This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for in a romance novel. The characters were interesting and flawed, the romance was slow and sweet, the conflict was believable, and the resolution was solid.

It's a similar plot to [b:The Downs|25698091|The Downs|Kim Fielding|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1433921144s/25698091.jpg|45529426], although the characters, setting, and genre are very different. But I found the central conflict in The Downs a little difficult to relate to, while Jimmy's problem was easy to understand. The writing really pulled me right into his emotions. I definitely felt for him, all through the story.

This book has no supernatural elements, unlike a lot of Kim Fielding's books, but the setting is a little bit unreal to me. Maybe it's just because I've never been to any former Old West towns, although I would like to visit one someday. I always kind of raise my eyebrows slightly at non-homophobic small towns in fiction, but this novel actually addressed that issue in a realistic way, several times.

Overall, this book is great, and I recommend it highly.
