Rebecca, having grew up in South Boston, knew no one can be trusted. When her no good BF turned up apparently dead from OD, she saw the perfect opportunity to leave town, as she just finished her semester of school. And she went to see her brother in Wyoming. There, she came to find a job on Westin Ranch, headed by Alec Westin, the gruff man who can't seem to make ends meet due to his father's mounting medical bills. However, she lied... She has no experience as a wrangler... All her knowledge is book-form only... She had never ridden a horse before. But when Alec found out, he surprisingly gave her a chance: learn to ride in 1 week. And she did, and fit into the ranch life well. And Alec fell for her. But someone is stalking her. Increasingly more sinister notes are being received, then her brother was beaten into a coma...
The twist sort of makes sense, but the villain is way too capable. Apparently he's able to hide in the town of Jackson, Wyoming, but never got noticed even though he's a city-slicker. He's apparently able to get high and fight while high, and use that to his advantage (where did he get the drugs?) And where did he get the poison for the horse? Didn't the horse recognize a stranger? How about being able to outfight two cowboys ready for him (despite being a party guy and small time dealer in Boston, with no apparently fighting abilities)... Sorry, the villain makes NO SENSE at all. While I like the fish out of water tale, for the FMC, the villain ruined the book for me.
