I have to agree with another reviewer who described the lead, Vonnie Taylor, as wishy-washy. She is. She is stubborn and, at times, very stupid. Why authors believe that these qualities would be endearing or desirable to men is beyond me.

The prologue features a shootout that leaves a family dead and begets a bitter, lifelong feud between two men which reaches their offspring, Vonnie Taylor and Adam Baldwin. Married for a scant 24 hours when they were adolescents, Vonnie is now a much-admired seamstress and Adam a rancher, who is engaged to Beth Baylor, a complete twit with no redeeming qualities. Seriously, that is exactly how she comes across in this story.

Vonnie's father raised ostriches but now someone is sabotaging her late father's ranch. Vonnie and Adam work together to solve the mystery. Overall, there is some of Copeland's trademark humor but this book falls flat due to poor characterization and nonsensical plotting.
