I agree with some of the other reviewers... this book was "so-so". It was definitely not LLM's best work. It seems like she's riding more on her name to sell books than the actual content of her work.
While it wasn't horrible, the story was sweet almost to the point of a toothache. The "action scenes" from the cattle rustling problems & the senator's love scandal didn't really seem all that exciting to me. The author seemed to kind of stick them in there, rather than making them a part of the story, and the problems would "pop back in" every few chapters, almost like LLM said, "Oh, yeah... I've got to mention this again!" Garrett also seemed awfully cheerful for a guy who just had his whole career torn apart from a scandal and had to change everything in his life.
Julie & Garrett's romance felt more like a thing of convenience without a whole lot of chemistry... you're here, I'm here... you have a kid too... ok... ready-made family!
While I still like this author's older works, I think her newer stuff has just gone from my "must have" list to my "when I get the time" list. I'll probably finish out this series, but sadly, I think she's run out of good ideas.
