This is one of my absolute favorite books. The entire story is woven with danger, adventure, love, hunor and those unexpected little twists. Nessa is a character that lives in my heart. I have read my copy until it fell apart, then I taped it back together. Read this enchanting book.
Enjoyable & fast-paced, in an uniquely readable style

Although the book jacket goes a little overboard by calling it "in the sweeping tradition of . . . LONESOME DOVE and . . . TEXAS," Ms. McGowan has a very fast-paced, enjoyable story, full of action, with a very nicely done love-story to boot. Her writing is often humorous, and always a unique and enjoyable mixture of narration and reaction/thoughts of the main character, Nessa Cutter Fane. The characters are well-drawn and believable, the action non-stop, the chemistry between the two main characters so strong you can taste it. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction set in the Old West, to anyone who enjoys a well-written story about strong-willed women and men of grit, or to anyone who loves reading stories about people who are meant to be together, and the sparks that fly (both good and bad) when they are. The back of the book touts a sequel to the book, BEYOND THE RIVER, which is supposed to come out in July, 1997. I can't wait
