I‘ve been listening to this at work as part of my 2018 Audible Romance challenge. (One of the two challenges I‘m doing this year) At one time, I read a lot of romance, but lately have included a lot more variety in my reading. This book is ok and I‘ll finish it but the overall storyline has been a little predictable. However, I was blindsided by the fairly graphic (unwelcome) description of the sexual abuse of a child included in the book.

I rarely read westerns, so it was a surprise when this became my absolute favorite romance read of last year and one of my favorites of all time. The main characters are at once admirable and adorable. Morgan isn't a jerk. Jane is sedately kick-ass in a way that fits with her time frame. There is a lot of story and emotion here. Surprisingly sexy as well. If you're looking to detox from ballrooms, give this a try. It's so so worth it! #romantsy
