AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
In the span of a couple days, US Marshal Hawking discovers that he has a corrupt sheriff and that someone is planning to assassinate him. With no idea where in the territory to start looking for a sheriff gone bad, Hawk follows the warning telegram looking for the informant. Liesl (23yo) risks her safety every day trying to help the people her father is taking advantage of, but sending that telegram could cost her life, especially when a certain US Marshal tracks her down.
Eden has written other books about members of Hawk’s town, and they are fun but not necessary to read before this one. I loved that the strong marshal is paired with a strong woman, rather than a demure doe who has to be saved. Both Hawk and Liesl do some of the brave saving, making a partnership where both are respected and heard. Their story has action on top of the romance, making it easy to justify reading just one more chapter.
Liesl and her family, Hawk, and most of the characters are white. There are a couple people of color mentioned. The mature content rating is for alcohol use and illegal activity. The violence rating is for implied domestic violence, gun use, assault, attempted murder, blood, and death.
