If you enjoy westerns and humor, then this is the book for you. Honey Beaulieu is full of grit, determination and sass—I guarantee you’ll fall in love with her. Growing up in a whorehouse owned by her mama, Honey is determined to not pursue the same line of work. Fortunately, her pa makes a living hunting bounties, and Honey shows a particular knack for it. She lands a job as Fry Pan Gulch’s deputy marshal, much to the chagrin of the men around her. You’ll cheer her on as she sets out to prove she has what it takes. When she meets handsome U.S. deputy marshal Sam Lancaster, a stubborn mule and a pickle barrel will have you laughing out loud. Ms. Rogers is one of the best western writers out there today and this book proves her talent once again. I thoroughly enjoyed it!… (más)

What do you get when you combine a suffragist schoolteacher with a hidden past, six soiled doves wanting a better future, and an oh-so-sexy cowboy who isn't quite sure what to do with all these women? A fun to read, laugh out loud western, and that’s exactly what you get in Much Ado About Madams, #1 in the Hearts of Owyhee Western Romance series by Jacquie Rogers.

This is a story with just the right amount of raunchy. Everybody has a secret and a backstory and a hidden agenda, and it’s a joy to watch them all clash. Lucinda wants so much to be proper and escape her past, but she also sincerely wants to help the “ladies” even though she was tricked into coming to Dickshooter to teach them. So does Reese. He is a good guy with a big heart who also has a past he wants to escape, and he, too, wants to do the right thing for the ladies. All the girls are sweet. Rough around the edges, unique for sure, but sweet and full of heart.

Romance – and lust – bloom. The plot is fast-paced with twists and turns and a mystery that will keep you guessing, just the right amount of action and danger, and surprises about who is who and everybody’s connection to everybody else. And a perfectly satisfactory ending for all.

Much Ado About Madams is humorous to be sure, but also has deeper meaning about how your past shapes you and affects your future. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can’t wait to hook up with these characters next time around.… (más)
