I thought this book was great. Although, many times, I almost threw my kindle at the wall (prompting my little sister to think I was crazy with my screaming at the screen) because of Lily's pure stupidity. Or, I guess you could call it naivety. But she was naive in the way that makes you want to see her grow, not the naive that makes you hate reading about her. As for Luke... I'll be honest and say that I wasn't enthralled with him. He truly didn't do much wrong and seemed a bit too good to be true throughout (even when he wasn't there), and I felt his character was a little flat. He didn't have any faults that I could see. My favorite character was Alice, and Jessie was a close second.

But by far, the last words Lily says to Luke made me so very, very proud of her. And the fact that I was able to continue reading though it's not even close to my preferred genre (historic, WESTERN? Um, no thank you) speaks volumes. If I don't like something, I don't finish it. Lauren Gregory did a fantastic job, and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

Don't be afraid when you read all the reviews on here talking about all the research the author must have done. This book doesn't read like the author did research, it reads like you're there. Lily is a heroine you will root for. Her story one that is both timeless and fresh.
This book should have come with a trigger warning. While I am not one to shy from a dirty book, I actually had to re-check the book's description as I had not gone into reading this thinking that was what I was getting myself into. Indeed there are a few explicit sex scenes, what's weird is that the rape scenes seem to get a little more detail than the mutually consenting scenes. I might even go so far as to call this a rape fantasy book than a historical fiction. While this does take place in a historical setting, I'd go so far as to say this describes rape more thoroughly than anything pertaining to the historical details of this time period. I am not sure what historical research other reviewers seem convinced this author took pains to encapsulate.

Aside from that disconcerting shock, I will say this is some good writing and easy reading. I can't say I care much for the separation of characters at the beginning. It starts with two narratives of Lily and Charlotte (I think), and then drops the Charlotte one about 1/3 in when you realize Charlotte is Lily. There didn't seem to be a reason to begin with two story lines for the same person and it distracted more than enhanced the beginning.

By the ending I was bummed as everything seemed to build up to some satisfying conclusion but leaves you short. Indeed, it all wrapped up a little too quickly and neatly; almost as if the writer was only paid for a certain number of words and at the last minute realized the galloping story was not worth any extra effort of going over the number of paid-for pages so tidied it up all quick-like. By the last few chapters I could tell it was wrap-it-all-up time and it all feels a little less engaging and more rushed.

I would say if you aren't turned off graphic rape scenes, this is a decent and quick read, go for it!
Surprisingly Good story, not what I expected, in this old western romance about a young woman who learns to stand up for herself and stop blaming other people for all the bad things that have happened in her life. First time reading this author's book, I will definitely be reading more of her work, like this!
This complex book explores the old west with Lily Wright, a woman who endures and overcomes real-life horrors in her quest for freedom. Ms. Gregory's research immerses the reader. I felt Lily's pain, growth, and triumph. A woman alone in the 1800's endured much; dangers stalked the untamed west, but a woman fleeing an abusive husband had reason to hide. Lily developed a strength that flew above her circumstances to where no cage, gilded or not, contained her.
No real storyline. This book keeps you down, depressed. I read for enjoyment.. There is enough of abuse and unhappiness in this world without voluntarily spending your time reading. about. I would not recommend this book to anyone..
The author does a great job showing the darker sides of the old west, especially for women. I loved Lily. She is tough, but not without her times of doubt and fear. In a world where women don't have many choices in life, she struggles and defies those roles to get what she wants. Also, the author writes the time period well, using it to set the tone and atmosphere without bogging the story down with unneeded details. Great book, and one I've added to my read again pile.
This was a very good book. The struggles Lily goes through and her ability to keep on trying to succeed is inspirational. Fascinating characters, a great plot and the feeling you get from the old west makes this a worthwhile book to read.
