Ever since hearing about this book, I was excited to review it. The plot sounded so interesting and I love a good historical. Needless to say, once I picked it up and started, I didn't put it down until the end. I even had someone else who wanted to read it at the same time:) The characters are so well written I fell in love with them immediately. Especially Mariah. Slade took me a little bit. I know he was hurting so he automatically lashed out at everybody but at the same point, so was Mariah. She just seemed so strong compared to him. Then about the middle of the book I fell in love with Slade too. My heart ached for him and his troubles, especially when you finish and find out what really happened all those years ago.

I really liked Mariah's grandmother as well. She is kinda quirky but also a well of wisdom and knowledge. Pam really brings to life the time period and the scenery. I love when an author pens the detail so well that you can see it. I can almost feel the dust and the heat but also see the beautiful mountains and valleys. Oh, and the gun fight? Spot on in detail and has you sitting on the edge of your seat! Okay, maybe not quite but very well written. Absolutely loved this book and can't wait to see what the author has in store for her readers. The end of the book has a sneak peak of the next novel and boy does it sound interesting. Wonderful job Pam!!
