Title: Did I read the same book?
Review: Love civil war era books and to the extent that this includes little known facts about it, such as the cotton wagon trains to shore up funds for the south, and the actual historical accuracies of texas ranches, it is enjoyable. However as a novel, historical romance, I found it extremely lacking on character depth. Our southern belle spends the entire book trying to not-too-subtly get the overseer's son to bed her and wed her. I found her bold and brassy in her efforts. The love interest, bowie beckett, spends the book avoiding her obvious attempts to seduce him because he's "not good enough for her". A real creative story line. It was also short of realism. When has a band of "banditos" attacking a train of 10 wagons been scared off by one woman toting and shooting a gun while riding her mare!And then our belle shoots the spy/bad guy while sitting a horse with her hands tied. Sorry I just can't buy all this....This was an easy toss.
