A Really Good Historical Western romance.Caution: Tear-Jerker *sob-sob*Recommended!!

I've been on an American Western historical kick lately, so I've been looking for books in that genre. I like Sandra Brown's suspense romance books, so I thought I'd give this one a try. What a mistake!
First of all, I've read the Wheel of Time books, but Ms. Brown has nothing on Robert Jordan when

it comes to mentioning breasts. Yes, the heroine Lydia is a wet nurse, but it seemed like every paragraph had a mention of her prominent breasts, yearning nipples, etc. She makes Mr. Jordan look like a novice when he only mentions pushing arms under her breasts instead of 'impudent nipples.'
The story itself is pretty weak. Ross, the hero, is pretty unlikeable throughout the book, and poor Lydia needs some severe counseling in dealing with him. She's a rape victim who's abused again and again - just ugh. The rest of the characters on the wagon train are pretty banal, and the villain is just a caricature of evil.
This is not a book I'd recommend at all.
