PLOT AND PACING

This was well paced, giving the reader a necessary break before building the action and story up again.

POINT OF VIEW

The third person omniscient is used with shifting perspectives much in the style of “Lonesome Dove.”

DIALOGUE

Snappy and sharp.

DESCRIPTIONS

The author gives you just enough to picture the scene in your head without being overwhelming.

THOUGHTS/IMPRESSIONS

This was an easy read. Christian and Jolee are likeable characters that readers can identity with. If you want a book to escape to on a cold winter’s day in front of a warm, crackling fire, this is it. The loves scenes are tastefully done.
