A Bandit's Broken Heart started off really good. I loved how Brynne didn't quite fit in, but also wasn't completely ostracized. Her first meeting with Richard was also great! He's witnessed too many young society women come into the clinic, but not be able to handle the work, so he immediately rejects her, not knowing about her medical experience from her bandit days. Then there's an accident at a nearby construction site. Brynne isn't one to sit by idly when she can help, despite the good doctor trying to shoo her away. She proves herself and gets a position in the clinic and in his heart. I very much enjoyed all of this.
The romance in A Bandit's Broken Heart is good enough. I don't think I enjoyed it as much as Leo and Cilla, but I still liked Brynne and Richard together. I actually loved how in love with her he was but totally asked her to marry him for all the wrong reasons! That scene was quite funny when he realized his blunder. I don't think they got enough alone page time for me to get fully invested, but that's because there are too many mini-plots in too few pages. It was just one thing after another, and resolved too quickly. I still fully enjoyed the story, and found it fun and different, but I wish the romance had gotten a bit more development.
In the end, A Bandit's Broken Heart is another fun romance. I loved how even though it was set in the East, it still had that Wild West feel as Brynne dons her duster to track down the thieves. It also has a really solid set up for Lucy's book, which I cannot wait to get to!
