Romance
Each book in the Gunslinger series is STANDALONE
Description
At the ripe old age of twenty-eight, desperate-to-retire
gunslinger Adam Brady has exactly two rules. And one of them is never,
ever get married. So he’ll be danged when his dreams of permanently
avoiding the bounty hunter on his tail in Desolation, the only town
where notorious men like him can find respite, comes with one helluva
string attached. The town has a new rule: gunslingers welcome—if they
get a job…or marry.
Without realizing it, Adam stumbles into a
big town wedding and accidentally marries Nora Schumacher, a
sassy-mouthed mountain of a woman with legs as long as his wanted
poster. So what’s a gunslinger to do but get himself unhitched and find a job. Any job. Except Adam keeps getting fired, one odd circumstance after another. And he’s running out of options.
Desolation
was supposed to be his safe haven. Except, he’s not only running from
his past but from the irresistible woman he married. And worse, he’s
finding that he rather likes the enticing, if damnably independent, wife
of his. But some men just aren’t the marrying kind. Only, if he leaves,
his own life won’t be worth living. If he stays, he puts the lives of
his newfound family and the woman he loves on the line. So much for
Desolation being the answer to all his problems.
3.5 STARS
This was a quirky, unusual and sometimes even funny story. Even though it had good plot ideas it also took me long time to even get into it. Sad to say. But I think that's on me because the writing was good but just didn't pull me in as much as I would have liked.
I did like Adam's favorite phrase. "Where's the fun in that?'' It cropped up at just the right or is that improper time?
The people of the town did add a lot to the story. And things do speed up towards the end as trouble comes to town.
It all comes to a good end with a H.E.A. and Epilogue at the end. I will be giving it 3.5 stars when it opens on Amazon.
