ABOUT THE BOOK
When the
new marshal in town needs volunteers, one of the first to sign up is
Miss Rosie Decker. And why wouldn’t she? She’s a sharpshooting,
horse-taming tomboy—and she’s out for revenge. Marshal Hank Walker is
forming a posse to find the man who killed her sweetheart, and Rosie is
determined to help track him down. When the marshal refuses her service
on account of her being a woman, Rosie is undeterred. If it’s a man
Marshal Walker wants, it’s a man he’ll get.
With his posse assembled, Hank Walker is confident he’ll be able to track down the criminal. His confidence grows as he recognizes the incomparable skill of one young man in his posse—Ross. That is, until the day Ross’s mustache falls off, revealing “his” true identity. Rosie Decker has duped him. Banished back to town, it’s time for Rosie to prove her mettle. Though working alongside the unwilling marshal is complicated, it is the unexpected tenderness she feels for him that proves most problematic. How can she demonstrate her skill while also setting out to win the heart of the man who seems bent on keeping her out of his way?
REVIEW
I read this author's previous two books in this series (Heart of the West and Saving Susannah Jones) and enjoyed them immensely. So I was eager to read this new one, especially when I heard the summary. Rosie and Hank sounded like quite the pair. I am happy to say that the book lived up to my expectations. Rosie and Hank were delightful characters whose interactions often made me smile and sometimes laugh. Rosie's skills and determination made her easy to root for, even though it was evident from the beginning that her efforts to disguise herself as a man were going to get her in trouble at some point. It was impossible for me not to cheer Rosie on as she tried to convince the marshal that she would be a good deputy. Her growing feelings for the man complicate her efforts as does the marshal's relationship with the banker's daughter. But Rosie isn't one for giving up, not even when outlaws get in the way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The banter between Hank and Rosie was fun to read as were Rosie's interactions with the outlaws. Frank has written an engaging and amusing tale of romance and law enforcement.
