I was excited to read that one of the towns in this story "Leadville" was the town the last book I read ceneterd on.

Unfortunately, The Parlor House daughter is not the epic novel the prior mentioned is.
This is a classic 'romance' novel that has drippy, sappy romance scenes that last for 3 pages and I tend to scan over them as I turn pages past the incessant details of removing clothing... ugh. Romance is more than sex. I didn't find the main characters 1st sex scene very exciting. It was written like most dime store romance novels. I was hoping for more after reading the reviews on Amazon.com This has very little character development, but it is a gentle read that can be completed in an sfternoon. I wonder how many times she used the word "WHORE" in the first few chapters alone. I am not a whore but I was offended ! lol
This could have been a wonderfull, deep story but it got a bit twisted and unbelievable (no spoilers) in the end.

I loved this book. It was a very easy read. I was rooting for the main character all the way to the end. I read some other reviews before reading this that weren't so positive, but I personally enjoyed the more relaxed writing style. I would recommend this. ( )
