Welcome to Litsy!

While I really enjoyed the historical setting and events, including the Black Seminoles, suffrage and temperance movements, Black towns, and mail order brides of the West, I didn‘t love the pacing or, unfortunately, the romance. I think part of this may have been the audiobook narrator who had a humor in her voice that made me feel embarrassment for the heroine as she learned about sex and her own needs with a slightly paternalistic husband.

So, this is my first year trying to complete the Book Riot Challenge. I struggled with finding a Western, so I looked through Book Riot‘s website and found this western romance set in the late 1800s. Kate is a newspaper woman in the east when she gets in to trouble and needs to be rescued by a marshal from the Wild Wild West. I‘m glad I read this, because I am now a Beverly Jenkins fan. This was a fun read, although sometimes a bit off in pacing.
