And I was delighted to find there was no big-misunderstanding-separation. It’s already got the downer of financial burden.AS TO THE ROMANCE STORY:I enjoyed the way the couple met, how they got to know each other, their conversations, how they reacted to the ranch, the things they did, and how they fell in love. I don’t mind the nephews finding the ranch stripped down requiring them to spend a lot of money to fix it. The part about Zeke’s personal debts is my problem.In summary, I don’t mind Heloise requiring the nephews to get married, stock the ranch, and other things. I was willing to suspend disbelief about the tax things. Zeke had no will so it gets even murkier as to why the land would go to Heloise, and other tax issues. The ranch should have been sold with proceeds used to pay Zeke’s debts, including probable estate taxes. Mason was being honorable and paid the debts. But if they’re going to go to someone, it should be Zeke’s son or the aunt, not Mason. And then to find he was expected to pay off Zeke’s personal debts on top of that? Plus, where’s the respect and honor for our military heroes? The locals were fools to loan money to Zeke. But finding the ranch in disrepair was a huge financial set back. Mason barely had enough savings to stock the ranch with cattle and horses. I was so angry! How would you like it if someone came up to you and said your uncle owed me $2,000 and I expect you to pay it? And there is nothing in writing. After Zeke died, the locals went to Mason the nephew t.
But if they expected to be repaid by Zeke’s relatives, that is unjust and unfair. So why do a dozen locals lend him money which they know he won’t repay? If they were helping a friend fine. He’s been stripping the ranch for money - selling appliances, furniture and even the fencing. But this just hit the wrong button for me.1. I value authors trying new things and writing about new things. Anger overpowered my enjoyment.THE SETTING INFURIATED ME.My background is taxes and accounting which is probably why I had a huge problem. Review 1: 4 stars for the romantic relationship.
