Despite being very jokey, there's a lot of gun play and death in this one.

Also, I think I'm a little tired of Julia Quinn's man-who-swears-never-to-marry thing, but it's still good fun. (

Heb meerdere keren hardop moeten lachen. Wat een stel! En wat een situatie. Wel over the top natuurlijk, maar dat hoort erbij. Soms ging het net iets te ver door (
