There are three main characters in this story: Lori, Clint and God. The underlying message is sex without the bonds of marriage isn’t what God wants, God is the source behind all things, Catholicism isn’t that bad.
The reason I like to read romances is to have sex that’s carefree and fun with a bit of love on the side. I’ve never been married but I’ve had sex with men, some I loved and some I didn't, and liked it just fine.
Lori is a thirty-one year old psychic virgin. She doesn’t want to have sex without marriage. She has Catholic guilt over her psychic powers. The church believes they are from the Devil. She has seen Clint in her dreams throughout her entire life and is stunned when she sees him in the real world. She's feeling things she's never felt before. Is it wrong? Maybe.
Clint is a cowboy who doesn’t believe in psychics or having sex with a woman for the rest of his life. The last time he had sex without marriage the woman was so devastated she tried to kill herself. The second half of a duo with a lot of Catholic guilt. And their conversations drone on about it.
Clint immediately doubts Lori’s psychic powers but he has to trust them to save a lost little boy. Though Lori has never ridden a horse they embark on a journey through the mountains to save Trevor. And fall in love. And discuss God and his power and the Ten Commandments. They have sex once in the book and feel guilty afterwards. And don’t have sex again. Though he’s described as handsome I imagine Clint as a middle-aged man whose balding (that’s why he wears a Stetson all the time) with a slight paunch and dirty feet. Definitely not my idea of a romantic hero.
Lori and Clint’s interaction with each other reminded me of the neighbors who are always trying to get me to go to church but I always decline. Been there done that when I was younger.
