This is a mildly entertaining time-travel romance. Lucky Lamont catches his girlfriend cheating on him with his best friend, and shoots up the motel room where he finds them, causing them to flee naked. Unfortunately for him, his ex-girlfriend Misti is the niece of the sheriff, and he is chased out of town. Misti's half-brother catches up with him at a remote gorge, hogties him and sends him down the cliff in an ancient carriage. At the bottom he finds himself bruised and battered in 1911, face to face with Molly Recklaw, who decides he was sent by Fate to be her husband just when she needs one to win the contest her father has set for her and her 4 brothers - whoever marries and produces the first grandchild will inherit the most coveted piece of land in their inheritance. It's your typical romance where the protagonists are made to act in eye-rolling idiocy to keep some sexual tension going before the inevitable bedroom romp. There is a mildly entertaining side story about outlaws in the area that are suspected to be Molly's brothers, with an eventual revelation that was easy to see from a mile away. Good for mind-numbing relaxation and little else.
