If you haven't read Dallas before, don't start with this book. Perhaps she is slipping a bit. Seems she researched about "fallen women" of the West and wanted to write a fair story, with respect for said women. The main character, Beret, was just too stupid, sorry for lack of better word. She continually put herself in dangerous situations, certain that she could protect herself; unfortunately she has no plans for protection. Everyone just happened to be wealthy: father and uncle made millions, cop is from wealthy family, everyone found a way to get rich. Book is an easy read, an enjoyable few hours.
