The Last Woman Standing by Thelma Adams
1.0
Not good.
Too much sex, not enough story.
There could have been much more explored in the relationships between Josephine Marcus and the men she was most prominently involved with, but the author instead chose to sensationalize her story, focusing on Josephine's seemingly insatiable desire for sex with 'rough men of the West' and cowboys. I was really disappointed in this book - I expect a certain amount of liberties taken when it comes to historical fiction, but this barely nodded in the direction of historical, instead freely embracing the fictional. While it's not really known what the truth was where Josephine Marcus's past was concerned, it seems like Ms. Adams wanted to just highlight the more salacious speculations.
Couldn't finish the book because of it. Really disappointed.
