Review: In The Marshal's Arms
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 08 9, 2012
Marshal Rhys Burgess finds himself working undercover as a hand on Maddy Colby's old beat-up farm, in an attempt to locate the bank robber Luke Colby and bring him in. Maddy Colby is not at all what he expected from a bank robber's mistress. She's a sweet girl despite her reputation with the local townspeople who treat her like she's a leper.I'm not huge on historical westerns but every once in awhile, a hot cowboy tale hits the spot. I really liked Maddy, I thought she was authentic and I loved that she had a backbone. The Marshal was hot, and I appreciated that he was willing to see Maddy as she was rather than hold fast to what he originally assumed her to be. It was erotic without feeling like a slouch in the story department. This is a decent length (sixty pages) for a novella and was well paced. I didn't feel like the story was missing anything or was too short when I finished it. It ended feeling complete. An enjoyable read!
