Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-05 00:00:00 Michael Munyan The one Susan Wiggs book I hated. I literally threw it across the room when I finished it. It had the most unsatisfactory ending. It was as if she even hated the book and just wanted to end it.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-27 00:00:00 Tee Dixon Texas 1843. Susan Wiggs wrote this her 1st romance in 1987. I stopped at page 202 of 416 (a revised paper- back edition). Please don't think this representative of SW's writing ability. It pained me to write this review. The blurb featured a 20 year old Texas frontier girl, wanting to be a detective like her (hard-drinking) father Nate. This story had too many irritating elements for me and failed to deliver. "Government man" Justin reported to Mr. Henderson for the US President, a vague role. (The FBI came into existence yrs later in 1896.) The POTUS + many Texans favored the Republic of Texas joining the US. Justin's task: track the UK Captain & corrupt Texas judge, West, who supported the Mexican cause over that of the US. Justin + the good guys were charged w/ preventing violence/ destruction by West and friends. Shiloh acted like a bounty hunter to capture Justin for West (she had no knowledge of his treasonous plan) for seducing the non-virgin dtr of West. H + h wed, using the flimsiest rationale. Justin & Shiloh engaged in overreactions & heated discussions. No bantering. Justin slept off/ on in the bunk- house. Whiny Shiloh undermined Justin concerning his official work & put herself in danger repeatedly & earned her TSTL badge. He kept secrets, ditto for her. This couple gave me a migraine Much better books by Susan Wiggs: The Charm School, The Great Chicago Fire Trilogy, The Horse Master's Daughter.
