Summary: There's more to the story than it being just a SPOON...
Review: Well, I enjoyed it and would recommend it. Yes, it has some problems and even starts out unbelievable but I had to remind myself that that is some of the fun in romance stories. And you know I almost hate telling you the story- incase I ruin it for you. So I won't. I will tell you that the story starts in a mining camp of about 100 men and 1 woman ("Low Down" short for Louise)who has been thought of as one of the men for so long that it is almost impossible to consider her being a woman. An epidimic goes through the camp and it is because of her nursing skills that many of the men survive. Now the men want to thank her from the bottom of their hearts and what better way than to give her something that her heart desires - no matter what it is. This is where it gets sticky... and where Max McCord really gets involved.

I enjoyed the story and at times felt my heart go out to the characters involved at the time. I enjoy a story that I can truly get lost in and feeeeeeel what's going on. Louise has never loved or been loved and has felt empty and alone in return. She tries real hard not to have feelings but they come through- she's great. Max has his life allll planned out and all because of a draw of a marble it all changes- that quickly. He is torn by the outcome but tries to take all into consideration. I am impressed! I don't know if I would have done what Max did- I probably would have said "No way! Forget this! I've got other plans. I am headed home!" And then he has to live with his decision! But, man, does it work out! Little did he know the outcome (and don't you cheat by reading ahead -or worse, yet, the end!) And then there's Max's fiancee, Philadelphia (couldn't MO have thought up an easier name) -her future and feelings to sort through. I probably would have been more hateful than she was - I might have pulled some hair! And shown them a true "cat fight." ha, ha!!! Then there are others in the story- Phil's father, Max's mother, sister and, oh my, don't forget his brother.

MO is a great story teller! Yes, I would recommend it and hope you enjoy it
