He still wouldn't forgive her even after sleeping with her and marrying her, and I found that utterly repugnant. When Justin comes back as a sheriff years later, he is bitter over Megan's cruel words, even after she explains to him why she said what she said. Justin had slept with a prostitute while he was courting Megan, and she understandably felt that he would not be a good husband to her, so she ended their relationship with some rather harsh words (but she didn't let on that she knew about him sleeping around) She said no - and she had good reason to. Back when they were younger and Justin had to leave town after a false accusation, he wanted Megan to elope with him. I would have given this book 4 stars, but I loathed Justin's attitude.

The world is also presented realistically, with Megan worried about her reputation, something that a woman had very real and legitimate reason to be concerned over back in the 1870's.
