I realize that it has been mentioned by another reviewer but I don't think it can be stated too often. THIS IS A REPRINT OF A SHORT STORY. It appeared in the anthology HOW TO LASSO A COWBOY which also includes "Tombstone Tess" by Emily Carmichael; "Finding Home" by Maureen McKade; "Coming Home" by Patricia Potter. I thoroughly enjoyed all four of these stories with the Emily Carmichael offering being the weakest one for me.

When taken in the context of a short story, this is a very good read. I failed to make a thorough search through my notes on Jodi Thomas and so bought this in its present form as a single story. Now I have two copies of this story. While it is good, it is not that good! Just wanted to give you every chance to know that this is a reprint but it certainly does not say that on the cover or in any descriptive matter I have read. It does, however, reveal this information inside the cover on the copyright page. Too bad you don't get to see that if you buy it through an internet site. I make a point of purchasing all the western stories written by Jodi Thomas but even I didn't want to buy it twice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Makes a great promo., November 14, 2006

I just finished a book in 30 minutes. Please tell me that this was just an advanced promotional for the real thing. If this book contained about 200 more pages I would give it 5 stars. The characters were just being developed to the point of being interesting. Cooper, the hard-working rancher wins the trust and affection of Mary who has had a traumatic past. And then there is Winnie, the unlikely participant in her own romance, and then the story is over. Excuse me?? Please tell me that this is just the promo and the real book is in the mail.

Oh i am glad you fellow reviewers warned me this was a small book, and a quick read, and yes, i have to agree.. you just want more more more!
When you have very little time but you would love something quick and wonderful, this is the book to get.. Never ceases to amaze me how much Jodi can pack into her novels.. it's like getting really yummy food with exquisite spices and preparation - delish!
