There is nothing remotely historical or realistic in this story and I thought at best, I would end up giving it 3 stars. In the end, I really liked it. It is difficult to get through in the beginning, with the heroine's 'hillbilly speak' and her being rather crude. The hero was kind of a jerk, too. The author did a good job of building the story and creating the happy ending for the characters. Entertaining read. ( )
