 Beau and Abby-SPOILERS May 27, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Favorite scene with Abby-
Learning about her parents' deaths. What a short, powerful scene. How like a strange dream. She didn't feel a thing, and yet, she did.
Favorite scene with Beau-
The final showdown with Baser.
Together-
Telling each other their truths before coming together in love.
What did you like about Abby-
Not wanting to be like society. Her strength and courage, especially when she fled New York and her parents. Wanting to help others, like the doves and Sabina. Thinking of Gussie as her mother. Her love for Beau despite his secret.
What didn't you like about Abby-
There wasn't anything I didn't like about Abby.
What did you like about Beau-
His love for his parents. The good he did for the town, and the respect he had for it and it's members. His love for Abby. Although I wish he had killed Baser, I'm glad he didn't. He showed such great restraint.
What didn't you like about Beau-
There wasn't anything I didn't like about Beau.
If I had to cast Beau, I'd cast Julian McMahon.
If I had to cast Abby, I'd cast Reese Witherspoon.

solid western romance March 1, 2006
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
Pinkerton and an assailant want to find Abigail Breckenridge with both interested in her; one because of what she did which led to a price on her head and the other for what he assumes she saw. Knowing she is in trouble, Abigail changes her surname to Butler heading west as a widowed schoolteacher. On the stage she meets Beau McMasters who recently won at a card game a saloon and a ranch in Heaven's Gate.
Beau and Abigail are attracted to one another and the locals encourage their relationship. As they fall in love, Abigail's past shows up and to her horror Beau is shot. Refusing to leave his side though that leaves her in peril, Abigail knows she owes Beau two truths: who she truly is and that she loves him.
This is a solid western romance that the audience will fully enjoy due to the antics of the lead couple though it is the outsiders who bring the late suspense to the fine nineteenth century story line. LUCK OF THE DRAW is a fast-paced read though the climax seems off kilter as the chasers converge on Butler, which would seem more like a needle in a haystack. Still sub-genre fans will enjoy this fine tale as Beau tries to prove that he loves Abigail risking his life as his stake.

Abigail Butler hopes to find a new life in Montana, although to do so she must live a half lie. When she encounters Beau McMasters, the young woman begins to wish she could live the truth, but fear holds her back. Loving Abby may be the biggest gamble this man has ever taken, but it will also have the biggest payoff.
*** Although the conflict in this book seems to be a bit forced and contrived, Abby and Beau's sweet story is one that has a certain charm. ***
