This is another brilliant Historical Western by the same author but Shotgun Groom is the best one yet! (see A Bargain Bride (Brides of Liberty, Texas)and A Betting Bride (Brides of Liberty, Texas)The story grips you from the very first page as the characters leap right out of the book at you.Olivia isn't half as highbrow as she thinks as she battles valiantly against being returned to her evil stepfather and his vile sidekicks. After a spoiled and sheltered life she soon learns to fend for herself in a cruel and difficult world, but she has reckoned without a seasoned bounty hunter on her trail.The gorgeous Mac is so wonderfully described that even though he is stubborn and determined to keep to his original plan the reader falls in love with him instantly. It's not all roses from then on in as family, friends, local hoodlums and outrageous chickens plus Olivia's shenanigans with pastry, cakes and cooking had me laughing out loud. Descriptions of the brave men eating her offerings are absolutely hysterical. (I hope these calamities are not suggestive of real life in the DeMedeiros household!)There are one or two fab new characters drawn into the general Western mayhem and I can't wait to read more from this wonderfully talented author!
