I want to start by saying I am a HUGE Linda Howard fan and have read all of her books. I can't believe that this was written by her. I agree with the previous reviewer about how stupid the plot was. I was not interested to see how the plot unfolded. The romance here was barely explored. These tough guys in a dead end town secretly loving two women and waiting YEARS to even express any interest. Come on! This one needs a redo. Get it from the library if you have to read it, but this is not worth the shelf space to keep.
