Grey didn’t care much for the “western” label put upon his work, preferring the term “romance”. He said that he wrote romances that just happened to be set in the old west. This book fits more into that frame of reference than any of his others that I have read. There are four “romances” simultaneously taking place here. Two involve cowboys who are sweet on the only two female characters. The other romances are a man’s love for the west, and the friendship that evolves between three of the cowboys.
Grey could overwrite at times, but unlike most authors who do the same, Grey’s indulgence is a pleasure to read. I almost wish he'd written more. I was sorry when this one came to an end. Top-notch western romance from a master.
