    I throughly enjoyed Nell's Cowboy. The way Debbie slowly built up the relationship t'weenNell and Travis was very good.And how she deloped the story with the other towspeople made it so good. And what truly made it apageturner was their search for Bitter End . I don't want to give the story awayBut it's definely worth reading. I haven't found any books that introduce Dovie and Frank. And along comes marriage if there are any books about Dovie and Frank please let me know.

    Yes! This book is a winner! Romance, intrigue, mystery, suspense. I liked all of the series so far, but this was the best!
    There is a glaring error, however. Matthew 28:46 was quoted, but the correct passage is Matthew 27:46.

    It was refreshing to see a man who would look at a women for her wealth of knowledge, compassion and commitment to family rather than physical attributes. Nell had a hard life, raised two great kids and deserved man who would see her true qualities.

Story line that could be read alone or part of a series, again it takes the reader on a journey , I felt part of the story Luke I was there.
