Hondo by Louis L'Amour
3.0

This is straight up a romance, following the same classic relationship beats.

The 'villain' had unbelievable motivations. I was skeptical that someone who was meant to take over leadership would be short-sighted and vindictive, especially given how many times the book mentions that Apaches are kind to children. That plotline was wrapped up much too quickly. There was little payoff.
Literally the fight between the villain and hero was covered in two lines of action and a line of dialogue.
