What is there to say. Linda Lael Miller at her best....as always
Susannah comes to Seattle to take care of her friends baby after she dies and falls for the father of the child.
It was a really intriguing read but towards the end I have to say it pithered out a bit. The mystery part was a bit of a disappointment. Both Aubrey and Susannah were great characters though as well as most of the side characters.
Worth the read but not spectacular.

If you're a Linda Lael Miller fan, you'll love this book. Wonderful Historical Western Romance with that flavor that Miller knows just how to add so well.
clips along...nice read.
Good one frome Miller. I like her books.
Wonderful love story!
great read!
Excellent!!!!
Linda Lael Miller, more widely know for her vampire books, writes an excellent historical romance about the Old West. All of them are good and this is no exception.
good read
A novel of love set in the American west
This book is ok but not at all like the rest of the books I have read thus far. I did enjoy it & there are some parts that made me laugh outright.
A book set in the West in days gone by, a wonderful story of love.
