An interesting story, but it was kind of slow for me. I kept putting the book down, which is why I only gave it three stars. 
 I liked India as a character overall. (A little more than Willie) I think she had a sensible head on her shoulders and I actually liked her introduction, where she was confronting her ex fiance. (view spoiler)[ although I was over her obsession with Matt being the dark rider. It was thrown into my face so much I knew he there was no possible way he could be the one. In the end it would have been a bigger twist for me if he had actually turned out to be the outlaw. And make him a bit more interesting actually. But I did like the fact he was an undercover secret agent. That was cool as well. (hide spoiler)] The only issue I had was that she wasn't a little more confident in herself. Why is it the main character never sees herself as beautiful until a man decides to show interest in her? However this wasn't a big issue for me. In generally India was a likable character and I could even get why she went to the gambling hall with Willie. 
 Speaking of Willie, Her I didn't really like. I get she's suppose to be a foil for India. India being the proper English lady and Willie being the rough American brat. I've read excellently written American women who rebelled against the restrictions placed on them by society. Willie was not one of them. (view spoiler)[ and the whole gambling scene. Although I personally don't get it, I do understand gambling is an addiction for some people. Willie however has proven she doesn't have that addiction. She stopped cold turkey when Matt told her too. And she didn't seem to have a brain in her head. Who takes a gun without checking to see if there are any bullets in it. Yeah she's suppose to be the reckless one. But don't make her stupid. If you're reckless enough to get into trouble you better be smart enough to get yourself out of the trouble. (hide spoiler)] 
 Cyclops and the other guy who's name has escaped me were alright side characters. But the male lead Matt. He was alright. Not quite swoon worthy for me. Unnecessarily cryptic however I'm glad he treated India, decently. 
 The plot was a bit slow and plodding but it did keep my interest all the way until the end. And I'm intrigued enough to check out the second book. Hopefully there will be a bit more action and the characters will be a bit more engaging. 
 Recommended? Sure
