Title: More Ben Stillman, Less [love scenes] (please)
Product review: I enjoyed this book, though less than ONCE A MARSHALL. Stillman is a [handsome] guy-- not "over the hill," but nearing the crest. And Fay is a smart, saavy, [beautiful] woman. And I love seeing the two of them interact-- but I don't want to go into the bedroom.I'd always thought that westerns were "men's books." Most impressive for me about Brandvold stories and characters-- outside the sirloin studio-- is that they appeal to women as well as to men. ONCE MORE WITH A .44 falls a mite short in its appeal. First, because of the descriptive [love scenes]; second, because the [love scenes] interferes with the storyline. I think that shoot-out on the train is one heck of a scene, and Ben is all hero. It's his nature. Leon's arrival tweaks the dynamics of plot and character. I'd like to see more. Read more. But right now I'm heading into DAKOTA KILL.... And looking forward to more western and less romance.
