This is one of the funniest stories I've ever read! And it's even better than the first story in the series.
I hope there's a sequel soon, because I can't wait to laugh some more. - L'Nara - May-08-2007

Another great Western tale with wonderful characters. Sheriff Gaine is one hell of a woman. A terrific addition to the pre-1900 era fics. - Niko - Sep-24-2007   

A thoroughly enjoyable read!!! While it took a bit to adjust to the "voice" of Gaine I found her to be very charming once I did. Well done B Soiree. - Anonymous - Sep-25-2007

READ THIS and i promise you won't waste your time. - belle - Oct-06-2009   

Sweet story, worth a read if you like Westerns - Anonymous - Feb-13-2011   

Thanks for the recommendation to read this western tale. B. Soiree is a fine author and this story was a pleasure to read. Loved it, the characters and the two leading ladies. It makes me thank my lucky stars that I did not live during this era when women had so few options and rights. I'm off to enjoy the sequel - can't wait to continue. Highly recommended. - colorado fan - Mar-15-2011   

This is a really good story, however (and I'm dating myself here), when I was a kid I read a book called "How to Speak Southern." It was a very funny book but you definitely had to sound things out, I'm glad I had that experience and that the story was good enough to keep my attention. - ~M - Jun-13-2011

Am loving this story..just really getting into the story but can't find Chapter 4...broken link? - Anonymous - Apr-13-2008   

I read this story last year and thought it was darn funny! I really liked the character Lonnie and the start of the story had me laughing out loud.

For those who don't think it's finished, it is. Below is the link to chapter 4 that will take you through the rest of the story.

I got hooked on this story early on. I also had the problem with the 4th chapter link. I had never read Soiree's work before but I found this story charming at the beginning. Very funny episode to the hospital in the first part of the story. Very good characterizations of Lonnie and Ruby. I had to say that I thought Ruby's story was pretty horrific. Soiree was able to tell that story and not make me have nightmares. Well done! I'd give this story a 4 star out of 5 star recommendation. Enjoy! - govita - Aug-13-2012   

Wonderful - Anonymous - Aug-24-2012   

**** SPOILER ALERT **** What a great feel-good story. Lonnie meets Ruby in a cafe and both their lives change for the better. i love Lonnie's mom and dad. This is what all families should aspire to. Triumph over tragedy. Love over hate. Justice over crime. In the middle there are two people who fall in love and forge the most spectacular bond between lovers, parents and friends. In the end it all represents the best that family can be. This is a heartwarming tale that I hope to read many times in the years to come. Thank you BSoiree and Athenaeum! - Samantha - Aug-30-2012   

Sweet feel good read. - Anonymous - Sep-04-2012   

On this read, I enjoyed learning about Portland and hearing a few snippets about Seattle. Thank you so much BSoiree and Athenaeum! Samantha - Samantha - Mar-30-2014   

Broken Link to Chapter 4 of this story. - Kugai - Jan-18-2015   

This is a great story. The link to Chapter 4 is listed next to Links: Chapter 4. Just click on Chapter 4 and continue reading. Sometimes you can enter the next chapter number on the URL and hit enter. In this case it would have worked if you'd substitute 4 in place of 3 in the URL; chapter 4 does come up. - Samantha - Jan-20-2015   

Very enjoyable (Long )story xx - SD - Sep-29-2015   

A story I return to often. What a collection of magnificent writers! This is a home away from home. Thank you so much for this wonderful library of fan fiction!! - Samantha - Feb-28-2016
