![]() ![]() ![]() Unlike other reviewers, the epilogue actually worked for me. I gradually lost interest, started to skim, repeatedly set the book aside. But then it became all too much - too much goofiness, too much silliness the improbable situations became more so to the point of being farcical. I was busy underlining one hilarious quote after another. The improbable twists and turns of the plot were amusing. ![]() ![]() The protagonists’ pull-and-push courtship sparks with humor and witty banter. And thus begins their wild-west adventure and their romance. When the evidence pointed that her brother is alive, Esmeralda hires Billy to help her find him. Lucky for Billy, Esmeralda is a poor shot and he lives to see another day. Since the town’s sheriff is not inclined to arrest him, Esmeralda decides to take matter in her hands and shoot the villain. It starts with an actual bang when Miss Esmeralda Fine storms into the Tumbleweed Saloon in a small dusty New Mexico town of Calamity wanting to avenge for her dead baby brother and arrest the person who “did it”- William (Billy) Darling- our hero. This lighthearted western should’ve ended 2/3 of the way to make it a very good one for me. ![]()
