Title: Very dated, and not a hero to fall in love with
Review: This book was originally written in 1990, and boy does it feel dated. You wouldn't think a book set in the old West could date so fast, but the hero feels like the villain in today's book, the guy who made you feel bad about yourself and your body and everything you valued, that diminished you, and that the new hero would have to help you rebuild. He was just so awful to the poor heroine, and his insistence that she was no lady, barely a female, and the put downs he kept giving her, in order to 'protect her from his woman hunger' initially irritated me but them started to make me really sad at the thought that she would going to end up with him for the rest of her life. That he apologizes in the last 5 pages scarcely makes up for it. I liked the 'Only' series, but this book was just awful for me.
