About the Book
Patience Cavanaugh has lost hope in romance. The man she yearned to marry is dead and her dreams are gone with him. Now she is consumed with the restoration of a dilapidated boarding house in order to support herself. Despite her desire for solitude, Jedediah Jones, the local sheriff with a reputation for hanging criminals, becomes an ever-looming part of her life. It seems like such a simple arrangement: Patience needs someone with a strong back to help her fix up the boardinghouse, and Jedediah needs a dependable source of food for himself and his prisoners. But Patience gets more than she bargained for as she explores the depths of the "hanging lawman"--and finds both betrayal and love. (Goodreads)
My Review
I'm all for light western romance reads. This book just did not hold my interest and I really wish it had. I liked Jedediah's character but I think the author took it a little too far with the dramatics and silliness of it all. The relationship between Patience and Jedediah seemed forced but I did like the town setting and the boarding house interested me. There are some funny moments and an overall truth in the end, it just wasn't the book for me.
For a light romance this book will suit you just fine.
Three stars.
"I received this book from Revell for free in exchange for an honest review."
