Addie meets Emma on a train going to New Mexico. Emma is going to become a mail order bride. Addie is a madam, although she pretends to Emma that she is a refined lady. Emma's marriage fall through and she ends up at Addie's "boardinghouse" or what she thinks is a boardinghouse. Addie is tired of Emma after several weeks of her staying there. It's bad for business, so Addie gets her lover, Ned to take her out for a ride. Ned and Emma hatch a plan to rob a bank. Not everyone is in favor of this plan, but Ned and Emma agree to split the money with Addie and her housemaid, Welcome. On the day of the robbery things do not go as planned. By the end of book, everything you thought you knew is different than your thoughts at the beginning of the book. If you enjoy stories of the old west and outlaws you will enjoy this story. ( )

My favorite of Dallas's books. This one has amazing plot twists and I love how the character's intertwined. Have it on my to-read list because I need to read it again. Loved it! ( )

Can't really review this one without giving it all away, but this is now my favorite Sandra Dallas book. She's done a total about-face from her usual tales involving salt-of-the-earth types persevering through hardship, with families and communities bound together by the strong female characters who inhabitat them.

Suffice to say, there are drifters and grifters and plenty of twists in this sprightly western. The observant reader will see some of them, but I'd bet money that they won't see them all. ( )

Thought this was just going to be a chic story set in the old West but it was way beyond that. Lots of plot twists as another character adds their point of view to the story. Funny how Emma thought that Addie ran a boarding house instead of a whore house. Knew that Emma was more worldly than she appeared but she ended up being way more than I anticipated. Figured there was more to the story about her brother but not in the way it turned out. Enjoyed Addie and Ned as sensitive people although not altogether nice. Plots at end totally surprised me. ( )

I don't read many books that have a main character as a madam of a whorehouse. I sure enjoyed this story, another memorable book by a favorite author. ( )
