Beverly Jenkins loves her feisty FMCs and I am here for it. I liked the take of Rhine passing, and then having to cross back over for love, but especially compared to her other books I read recently, this is much more of a romantic subplot than a romance novel (I still really liked it!) I also love her commitment to a 3rd act crisis over a 3rd act breakup.

Despite the lack of steam, I adored Eddy and Rhine's story. Like the previous Beverly Jenkins I read, this story is rooted in history, and she does such a good job of immersing you in it, while also showing both the good and the bad of post-Construction Western America. The community is really the heart of this story, how people come together to be good in all sorts of ways. I only wanted more!!
