I have read most of Sandra Dallas' books but this is decidedly different. It had lots of surprises...some I saw coming and one or two I didn't. It was an enjoyable read.

WOW!! This novel is full of twists and turns. It is set in Prohibition-era Montana and gives you a peek into what life was like back then. Dallas weaves a wonderful tale as only she can.

Can't really review this one without giving it all away, but this is now my favorite Sandra Dallas book. She's done a total about-face from her usual heartwarming tales involving salt-of-the-earth types persevering through hardship, with families and communities bound together by the strong female characters who inhabitat them.

Suffice to say, there are drifters and grifters and plenty of twists in this sprightly western. The observant reader will see some of them, but I'd bet money that they won't see them all.
