Great western book

This is the first Stephen Bly book series I ever read and have been addicted since. Great characters and story.

Very much like a Christian L.L. Western.....

When you combine a fiesty, independent 30 year old woman in the west who also happens to be a photographer-- with a handsome gentleman with plans for an isolated ranch, you are in for a wild ride. Ollie as I called her, fought with the best of them, often freeing herself and others from the frightful gangs of outlaws which terrorized their towns. She was always ready. One of the highlights of the book occured when Ollie was commissioned to do a 24 picture series titled Women of the West and her quest to obtain those pictures...the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly, all colors and ages.....what an adventure. Much action, much emotion, just enough religion and love cause this book to hold one's attention clear to the last few pages when I wanted to throw the book across the room I was sooo disappointed. More, please.

excellent read, bad ending

i really loved this series, and this book in particular. oliole's personality is such an easy one to love. i never wanted to stop reading!the ending is understandable, but that doesn't make it easier to take. it's not a happily ever after, so it leaves the book feeling unfinished. i would love more books in this series!!

Career versus romance!

Really related to this heroine and her struggles to choose between her photographer career and freedom and ride off into the sunset with a handsome drover. His open personality and simple ways sneak past her defenses and force her to consider giving up all she came West to find. It's a fight between her will and God's as she faces a number of enemies too. The ending was right, but want more in this series!

Great humourous dialogue between all the characters.

This book is full of hilarious dialogue, real life experiences of people assuming things before they happen and a great love story where the boy does not get the girl. A fun read, but most important is the dialogue between the main character and God. Thanks, Mr. Bly, for a great book and one that does not end in the normal way.
