Done! Whew, that was a chore. Note to self: steer clear of the older romance novels. That's about all I can say. I didn't completely hate it. I just didn't like it very much. I didn't really care for the ending very much. But I didn't give it just 1 star because parts of it were very interesting and had potential. But things went downhill and just continued to go downhill. I only finished because I had gotten so far into it and refused to let it defeat me. It had potential, but just fell apart and never could right itself. If anyone is tempted to read it, you'd be better off just getting a summary of it and calling it a day. ( )

Not as humorous and tongue in cheek romantic as some of her later books. Pretty ridiculous that an 18 year old and a 32 year old would be so in love. ( )

This book had me avidly plowing through it wondering what could possibly happen next to the characters. They got together in an unconventional way but managed to find real love with each other. Due to mistakes on their own parts and other peoples agendas and ulterior motives they kept being separated and reunited multiple times throughout the book and each time in a different way. Morgan truly had a crazy journey from start to finish and it kept me interested the whole time. Seth had plenty of adventures of his own especially in the California gold mines. Seth was a strong, handsome, but jealous man who cause plenty of messes all by himself and I loved every second with him even though I could just strangle him sometimes when he was being pigheaded but I would not change one word of the book. ( )

Morgan made an offer with Seth Colter to leak her through untamed territory for one year and marry her. After she got her trust, she would pay him $25,000.00. Morgan didn't know she would have such passion for him and while he was head over hills in love with her, his jealousy caused much grief and danger for her. It was a love/hate situation and in the end, she took him back. ( )
