Rocky Mountain Oasis by Lynnette Bonner is one of those books I liked but didn't love -- and I wanted to love it. It has a great set-up: a mail-order bride with a past she'd like to forget is saved from marrying a somewhat unstable drunk miner by his more upstanding and gentlemanly cousin. Because he's moral and upstanding and this is the Wild West, Sky has little choice but to marry Brooke himself. Sky soon realizes that this deeply wounded woman needs patience and care, and desperately needs someone in her life whom she can trust. In the meantime, there's opium and murder and a lynch mob; and Sky the farmer gets involved since he's also a former lawman. There's also redemption and healing and love.
