Jeb was charming and witty in the previous 2 books of this series. However, when he got his own story he seemed to be drifting through life and a bit spoiled. Chloe Whitfield turns out to be Marshall John Lewis daughter (Lewis died in the last book and was the love interest of the Arizona Hotels owner). This was one of the two major coincidences that ruined the book, in my estimation.
Chloe rides up to the Triple M Ranch -- with fire in her eye; shes looking for her husband, Jeb. There seems to be a question of whether Chloe bothered to divorce her 1st husband (Jack Barnett) before marrying Jeb. Most of the story revolves around their arguments about whether or not she is legally married to Jeb.
Thank goodness Ms. Miller added other love interests to this book because 430 pages of arguments between Chloe and Jeb would have gotten old pretty quickly.
The second (rather large) coincidence occurred in the chapter before the Epilogue. I dont want to ruin the surprise, but it takes place on 4 July 1887. The possibility of this happening must be 1 in a billion, or so. Its ridiculous.
Fortunately, the next story about Holt is excellent.
