The strong suit of this book is the snappy dialogue. The two main characters are clever when they interact with each other. Rose Dubois is a young woman from the wrong side of the tracks who has made a life for herself as a Harvey House girl. She's intimately familiar with poverty and has decided that she will wed a rich rancher and be a good wife.

That plan is fractured by Zach MacKenzie, who is traveling with a group of shiftless drifters. Although Rose is not attracted to Zach's lifestyle, they are instantly interested in each other. When Rose attracts that rich rancher she's been looking for, she can't understand why she isn't more enthralled by her new fiance'.

The story bogs down with too much romance and not enough action. However, the ending chapters were tedious because every MacKenzie in this series comes to be part of the ending. I love to see older characters (from previous books) updated in later stories, but I thought there was just too much added at the end.
