I found this erotic historical western novella to be tame and tepid. I've read other books by the author and the chemistry between the leading characters fairly sizzled, but with this book it fairly fizzled. Perhaps because it was so short at 66% on kindle. There obviously couldn't be enough time for character development.There were some cringeworthy lines between Sally and Standing Bear. In one scene after he has taken her viginity, Standing Bear says "Come with me," he urged his voice rough with passion. "Hear the thunder" I suppose this novella reminded me of the older Mills and Boon stories, completely over the top.
