Gehört zur ReiheWyoming Men (11)
"When Sheriff Cody Banks's wife died, he blamed Abby Brennan for the illness he's sure killed Deborah and, in his grief, made sure she knew it. Looking back now, he knows that his behavior was likely the reason Abby left town years ago. So when he sees her--and the child she's raising--at her great-uncle's funeral, Cody attempts to apologize, ashamed to see the fear he puts in her beautiful eyes and determined to show her he's no longer that same angry man. The only reason Abby returned to Catelow, Wyoming, was to bury her last living relative. She has studiously avoided Cody Banks ever since he made it clear how much he resents her, focusing instead on raising her young niece and keeping her own family legacy alive. But when Abby inherits the property adjoining Cody's, she can't help but face the handsome sheriff who still lingers in her memory. Circumstances keep pulling them together, but has time healed their wounds and given them a chance at a happily-ever-after?"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Abby is a sweetheart, kind to everyone, and raising Lucy well. Cody, however, is one of the worst idiots ever meant to be the hero. He married his wife after two days. For the two years they were married before her death, she spent most of the time in Denver, leaving Cody behind in Wyoming except for a few days a month. She was cold to him and mostly ignored him, yet he mourned her desperately for the last six years. He's hot and cold with Abby, noting frequently that she's not attractive when compared to other women, and he takes up with the more attractive blonde trooper. He is also one of the most clueless men I've ever read in a book.
The writing is repetitive (one example is how often Lucy or Abby mention how awful Denver is because they couldn't have pets and the schools were dangerous). The mystery plot is very piecemeal, just all over the place, without much in the way of surprises. There are also many political inserts. I don't like that, whether red or blue, but if an author wants to do that, work it in so it makes sense. You can't tell me small towns are so much safer when you show me that both the central characters (among others) were abused by their fathers. You can't tell me that a small town has more good people when I'm shown that others or the church doesn't help the woman abused by her husband. There are other examples, but this was enough to ruin what little romance was actually there. ( )
