There was a good basis for things here and generally it's well written. I'd advise either editor or a book on punctuation; there are a lot of times that the lack of it makes the reading awkward. Also the internal and external dialogue is clunky, but dialogue is hard to write. Keep going. :)
I have to agree with pennlady about needing an editor and writing dialogue. Not an earth shattering criticism but the difference in reading would be noticable. Great potential.
I am not an editor, just a reader, and I thought this story was very nice. Very romantic, and the style was old like that of the old romantic westerns written, but for the modern age. I grew up with Zane Grey and Luke Short western romances. There are others but I can't remember their names.
