I'm not usually an inspirational romance reader and tend to be leery of having the "God stuff" thrown in my face, but you were right, this book is really light in that area. I absolutely loved Danna, and I loved how Chas didn't try to turn her into something she wasn't just so that he could avoid having to worry about her all the time (although I admit I'm curious about how the townspeople will react to the idea of a man working for the woman he's married to).A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-7527365573555855982011-08-14T08:48:47.259-07:002011-08-14T08:48:47.259-07:00Nath: Yep, a rifle.

Probably because I have read secular books that DID have at least some religious elements in them. It's actually fairly common with some westerns - especially those set in small towns. Frankly, it's odd when the author doesn't mention or include some type of church scene - because the church really was a social center, as well as a religious one.....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-36375991099581795582011-08-11T19:01:36.660-07:002011-08-11T19:01:36.660-07:00I didn't pay attention when this came up in my...I didn't pay attention when this came up in my google reader, but now I am! Love the cover - I was, is that a rifle on her lap? LOL.<br /><br />This sounds like a good book and I'm glad to hear that the god stuff is small... I wonder if the authors really want to incorporate that part sometimes. anyway, the fact that you liked Dana a lot is just good :)nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-14978591703646253782011-08-11T09:51:17.711-07:002011-08-11T09:51:17.711-07:00FD: After reading your comment - it occurred to me...FD: After reading your comment - it occurred to me that this is the rare inspy where there isn't a "church scene." LOL! But yeah, like you - there are a number of things that work better for me in historicals than in contemporaries. Especially when you have a small town type of setting. The church wasn't just for worship, it was generally the town's social center as well.<br /><br />Nicole: The Wyoming setting did help. And while I raised my eyebrow, I thought the author sold her plot well. It also helped that I could buy-in to Danna having this kind of job. In other words, she's not a flighty bubblehead ;)<br /><br />Rachel: One of the things I like about westerns so much is that women had a teeny bit more freedom. They could bend the rules a little bit more before their hand got smacked.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-28458425779775102902011-08-09T08:23:24.761-07:002011-08-09T08:23:24.761-07:00I was interested in the aspect of a woman being th...I was interested in the aspect of a woman being the town marshall. I have just read a book designated as a western but with a good romance thread through it. Letter of the Law by CJ Crigger gets around historical correctness by having a wife act on behalf of her sheriff husband. <br /><br /><br />I thought it was a pretty good read (from Smashwords).RachelTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-6116794824458932282011-08-08T19:57:11.296-07:002011-08-08T19:57:11.296-07:00If I remember my history correctly, Wyoming has al...If I remember my history correctly, Wyoming has always been for women's rights, so I wouldn't raise my eyebrows too high at this.<br /><br />Glad to hear the religion is treated so lightly.

Goes with the territory. I find lack of acknowledgement of the socio-political mores prevalent in the setting to be more off-putting actually. Sounds like an inspie I might actually pick up.
