I read Rosanne Bittner a few years ago. I came accross this book at the library book sale. I had forgot how well I liked her books. What a wonderful Historical Romance. I loved the story this book had to tell.
Sunny Landers first meets Colt Travis in 1857, when her father, Bo Landers, hires Colt to scout for their party. The Landers are looking at the feasibility of creating a transcontinental train service.
Colt and Sunny make a powerful impression on each other and they meet intermittently over the years. Each time, there is a powerful attraction between them, but they realize that their worlds are too far apart. Colt is a half-breed Indian drifter while Sunny is a beautiful, powerful multimillionaire.
First of all, I don't like books that rewrite history with women in men's roles. It just didn't happen in that day-and-time. I don't care how beautiful Sunny was, the prejudice was too strong.
Second, this book is too long. The book spent too much time saying the same things. I skipped pages at a time to get to more interesting parts.
Third, the parallel histories weren't interesting enough to carry the book until the main characters could get together again.
Lately, Roseanne Bittner has been my go-to author for something great to read. This book missed the mark; 3.5 stars.
