Dessa Caldwell has a dream...Henry Hawkins has a secret... |
Dessa wishes to open a women’s shelter—particularly for
former prostitutes. She needs money, but the owner of the bank, Henry
Hawkins, isn't exactly willing because he doesn’t see how he can profit. Needless
to say, these two ‘duke it out’ so to speak...
I enjoyed the tension in this book, and how each character developed. The book started out a little slow, but the pace soon steadied out, and in the end I enjoyed the story. The pages are full of imagery, and the
author obviously researched Colorado and the history of the 1880s time period. I
learned a lot and feel as if I’ve been there.
I love the cover art, there are discussion questions in the back of the book, and I've added another author to my growing list of good'uns. ;)

This does sound like it has an amazing amount of tension. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
