Book Description:
Hearts collide when a sheriff’s daughter asks a hardened US Marshal to join her fight for justice and rid a small town of her corrupt father.
Wyoming Territory, 1876
US Marshal John “Hawk” Hawking is one of the most respected lawmen in the West, so when a telegram arrives from the small town of Sand Creek warning him of a death threat against him, he immediately begins an investigation.
Posing as a farmer, Hawk heads to Sand Creek, a town ruled by a violent and corrupt sheriff. Only one person is trying to stop him—Liesl, the sheriff’s own daughter. When she meets the self-assured and attractive new farmer, John, she hopes he might help her in the fight for justice.
John is completely unfazed by Sheriff Hodges’s attempts at intimidation, and Liesl is quickly swept up by Hawk’s courage and integrity. Just as quickly, Hawk finds himself falling for Liesl’s strength and bravery, as well as her grace and beauty.
When Liesl discovers John’s true identity, she feels betrayed. Despite her lingering distrust of him, Liesl agrees to work with him to enact a dangerous plan that will put the criminals away forever. Liesl must put her life, and her heart, in the hands of his lawman if she has any hope of saving her family and her town.
Andrea's Review:
I love when likable and/or intriguing supporting characters get their own books, so Wyoming Wild made my day. It was fun to learn more about Hawk and to have new characters added to those we love in Savage Wells (assuming you’ve read The Sheriffs of Savage Wells and Healing Hearts).
Not only was there a sweet romance but there was action and suspense as the main characters were teamed up in support of justice. I liked how it kept me guessing.
It was a little hard to read all the “ain’t”s and similar words, but they felt true to the characters. One thing happened near the end that had me wondering if I’d missed a page, but on the whole it was a very enjoyable story.
Rorie's Review:
A visit to Savage Wells was long overdue for me, so I jumped at the chance to read this story (even though it doesn't all take place in Savage Wells.) Liesl is my hero! Even though it was her father who was the scoundrel, she risked everything to help out her fellow townfolk whenever she could. Such an inspiring example of doing the right thing even when it's not at all easy.
All of my favorite Savage Wells characters played a part in this story - something I love about all of this author's series. This is a standalone story, but you would get a lot more out of it if you read the previous books in the series first.
I highly recommend this story.
