Nobody's Darling by Teresa Medeiros

4.0

Another Christmas present here and when I read the blurb, I was a little doubtful. Sometimes the main hero of a romance novel can make me want to slap him a little, especially when he's written as ultimately right in the end but I didn't feel like that with Billy. The romance wasn't based on him being an arrogant jerk and Esmerelda liking it for some reason - I actually believed the romance.

The plot outside the romance (I really liked the fact it had a plot outside the romance) was a little cliche at times but I did like it. The Wild West setting wasn't one I normally read either but again it suited well. It was fun to read and the characters were each very different.

The one thing I really didn't like was the epilogue. It was sweet but it felt a little jarring. It felt the romance was trying a little too hard to parallel Billy and Esme - I felt it would have worked better if they had been siblings finding Esme's things.
