Lacy Williams provides an original Western romance with Marrying Miss Marshal.
Book Blurb
She’s no lady…
Danna Carpenter is town marshal. And a darn good one. Even if she has to handle saloon brawls and rustlers alone. Who needs deputies anyway? All right, she’d welcome the help if any of the men in town would offer it. When a bank robbery goes bad, she has no choice but to accept the help of a city slicker…
He’s on a quest for revenge.
Chas O’Grady came West in search of cattle rustlers and found himself on the trail of a killer–one who took everything from him. Crossing paths with the pretty marshal was happenstance, but he can’t leave her deputy-less when she’s facing such grave danger.
Everything changes when Chas and Danna are stranded together in a snowstorm. The town council forces a marriage. And attraction turns to something more…
Will Chas give up his quest for revenge? Or will he lose the woman he loves forever?
My Review
This is a fun read. For one, I enjoyed it because I love marriage of convenience stories. But there’s also an air of mystery throughout the book. Why is Danna the marshal if the town council isn’t fond of her? How did her first husband die? How did she not know about the cattle rustling that brought Chas to town?
These questions, as well as the characters, kept me glued to the page. I enjoyed Danna and Chas’s banter and watching their relationship grow as they try to solve the mystery.
One thing I would’ve liked to see is Chas’s relationship with God repaired. It’s hinted at but never explored. For me, that would’ve really added to this novel. But otherwise, Marrying Miss Marshal is a fun Western that historical romance fans will love.
