Prelim Review: I enjoyed the first story the best quite frankly, the enjoyment I gained from the other two steadily decreased until finally at the end of the book I just felt 'meh' about it.

Well, this is definitely starting off to be a different kind of story. The male lead character is undead and needs to do good in order to get into heaven while the female lead was raised in a convent and is moving to a town in Texas to face the age old dilemma of becoming either a teacher or prostitute.
It took until around chapter 8 for me to get into this story. I just didn't feel connected to the characters until then but I am finally starting to warm up to them.
For all its otherworldly components, this is basically a tried and true western. The fast draw looking for redemption in a wild west town who houses the evil rich rancher and damsel in distress. Ms. Rogers puts just enough spin on it to keep it different.
There were times when I was really into this story and others where I skimmed through the words. The story was never consistent enough to keep me entertained. Whenever I would stop reading and come back to it, it took a couple chapters for me to immerse myself back into what was happening.
I don't know what else to really say about this story, it was never really good or really bad. I do feel as if I wasted my time with it though. I guess I would just say move along folks, nothing to see here.

Second Opinion...just finished it, great premise
some good interaction with secondary geriatric characters, but the main secondary characterizations were flat, the heroine was pretty idiotic as well. Darn, can't have everything.
At least the sex scenes were good. Even though the plot was predictable. It was a disappointing finish to an intresting premise.
