Yeah, that's what I said. Liz Ireland is truly one-of-a-kind! This is the first book I read by her and the book just pulls you in. The masculine Tyrone Saunders and the Head-strong Louise Livingston make a perfect pair in this delightful book that takes place in the tiny mining town of Noisy Swallow, California. The plot is perfect, the conversations funny and to the point, and the characters unforgettable! This is one I am keeping! No smut and nasty language, but pure, wholesome love...It's really great!

Actually the story isn't simple, but what is simple is it is just plain funny, not to mention a good love store ...

For a 23 year old miss who is trying her best to raise and settle her siblings she is more than nieve - sometimes I was thinking a delightful idiot.

In her innocent ignorance she has developed a predjudice against Saunders brothers. She is appaled that her sister, Sally would admit to falling in love a man of 30 years. Tyrone Saunders was way too old for 18 year old Sally. Humph!

Of course, sixteen year old Toby didn't help Louise Livingstone to understand the situation when he and Sally decided to lie to Louise.

Ty, who had settled down to run a ranch with his brother Caleb, who was 24 and a bit bashful but a thorough gentleman, continually ruffled Louise's feathers - especially emotionally.

Louise was determined to remain single, even in a town of mostly men until complications set in when Ty and she searched for the runaway Toby.

Ah but then, Niles Swaggart has been after Louise to become his wife and walked into a very lucrative situation due to Louise's foolishness.

Once again, Ty had to come to the rescue with a bit of a hilarious solution.

Love the cover and back but don't seriously think that the ladies dressed that way in 1852

Definitely recommended ? [I guess you would call it a bit of a slip]

I have read some wonderful books in my time, books filled with poetic descriptions, witty banter, earthshattering love, and epic adventures.

Unfortunately, this isn't one of those.

The historical inaccuracies, the trite dialogue, the ridiculous and unrealistic situations, and the uneven pacing are the best things I can say about this book. I cheered at the end, but only because it was over. While I was suffering through this novel, I kept wondering one question about the author over and over again.

What was she drinking when she wrote this drivel, and where can I get some?

Don't waste your money, time, or patience.
