Narrated by Ann M. Thompson
Run Time: 4 hrs and 46 min
Summary:
Lily Brewer flees an unwanted courtship by using a train ticket intended for her friend, Emma. Before she can come clean to Gus about the deception, she’s kidnapped.
Additional Comments:
- The romance in the story is of the instant variety.
- The villain’s pretty clear-cut.
- I had a little trouble figuring out the sibling and married pairs in here. (Emma and James; Lily and Charles) Emma is Lily’s friend and Charles’s wife.
- Barbara Goss usually has happy endings as dictated by the romance genre, but these two had a bit of a rougher journey to get there than most.
- It’s almost a comedy of errors with the missed near chances and sheer number of misunderstandings. I confess to doing a fair amount of yelling at these characters. (Get it together and talk it out, people. No, don’t tell her that, you moron. That’s the worst advice you could possibly give her.) I suppose that makes them more realistic as well as infuriating.
- Ann M. Thompson’s performance was fine.
Conclusion:
If you like slightly clueless but nevertheless lovable characters and clean western romance, give it a go.
