Helpful Score: 7

I found myself extremely irritated with both Matthew and Eden throughout this book. While I love a good western, especially where the hero/heroine are forced to be on the run, I just felt like this kept dragging, it took them FOREVER before they even attempted to find a town, and let her family know that she was all right.

Matthew took his dear sweet time getting on the trail to catch the gang he'd been âhotâ on the trail of for 3 years. He knew he was close to catching them, yet he stopped not just to bury a guy they'd murdered, but to also CARVE him a grave marker, a rather long-winded one at that! I understand burying the guy, but what's wrong with just leaving a cross or some such marker (it wasn't like he knew the name of the deceased). Then even when he KNEW the Sebastian's had kidnapped a woman, he still moseyed into a near by town. I really wasn't felling that he wanted to catch these guys too bad, not with all the avoidance techniques he exhibited.

Eden's actions boarded along the TSTL (to stupid to live) especially when she provoked her captors. I was also annoyed with the constant mention of all her wonderful attributes, especially since none of them did her any good for the most part. She was given a sharp slap of reality from her cruel kidnappers, but she quickly fell back into her old ways when she escaped.

Some may find this an enjoyable read, but unfortunately for me it just didn't work
