This is a very likable story. At the outset, the two main characters look like they are miles apart. As the story unfolds, similarities between Julia Bennett and Graham Corley start to surface.
Julia loved being anonymous in the East while she was in college. Her goal is to leave the one-horse-town of Avalanche for the bustle and crowds of New York. Having written three or four etiquette books, Julia thinks she would make a wonderful etiquette columnist for a New York magazine. There's a fly in the ointment, however. Her father refuses to allow a single woman to travel (and live) so far without a husband. So Julia sets out to find a drifter that she can hire to become her pretend fiancee.
Julia is an intelligent young woman with more snap than most of the citizens of the small town. No one has ever been interested her; she's just too smart -- and it still hurts. Bounty hunter Graham Corley looks like the perfect choice; surely such a man needs money, doesn't he?
Then Graham turns her down flat. But Graham has been ruminating about the emptiness (and loneliness) of chasing criminals for a living. It is all starting to pall and he'd just like to settle down somewhere and belong. He knows when things get uncomfortable, he just takes to the road; and he's tempted to rush out-of-town to get away from the attractive Julia.
It doesn't take Graham long to realize that Julia just wants to be accepted as she is; he can certainly understand that because he's been searching for the same. Graham has a poignant backstory. So Graham decides to help Julia reach her dream. But something happens along the way.
There is one thing that bothered me about the story. Near the end, Julia is told that her trust money was completely spent while she earned her bachelor's degree. I can not imagine why such an important fact was not shared with her during the time it was spent. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I felt it was a terrible thing to do to a young woman; she should have been made aware. It was a trust fund for her future (I agree it was spent well); Julia should have been treated like the adult she was.
This is a well-written, interesting personality study of two wounded souls. There's lots of snappy dialogue and humor. The main characters are extremely likable and interesting. This is a great story.
