This is one anthology I?ve been eagerly anticipating; 3 of the authors are my faves.
Crazy Callie ? Jodi Thomas ? 5 stars
This marriage of convenience story is fun; Callie needs to marry someone before her step-father carts her off to the asylum in Austin. She and a friend scout around the town?s saloons; they are searching for someone taller (no kidding) than Callie, who is drunk enough to agree to marry her.
Fortunately for Callie, Luke Morgan is winding down from a 3 day drunk; he came across the country to marry someone who had already married another. He didn?t have any pressing plans, so he agrees to Callie?s marriage proposal.
Nat Church and the Runaway Bride ? Jo Goodman ? 3 stars
Having read about Nat Church in Jo Goodman?s previous novels, I was eager to learn more about him. Nat was just what I was expecting ? a good man who kept his cards close to his vest. However, this story just didn?t click with me.
The Scent of Roses ? Kaki Warner ? 5 stars
This story is a hoot! From beginning to end, there is an easy banter between the two leads (Rachel James and Richard Whitmeyer). We learn that Richard is an insurance investigator but are only told that Rachel seeks independence.
I?ve read everything Kaki Warner has written and this proves her creativity with a short story.
The Hired Gun?s Heiress ? Alison Kent ? 3 stars
Of the four authors, this is the only writer I?ve never read before. I can?t say if the story lacked something or if it was just the unfortunate placement of this novella after Warner?s winner.
Zebulon Crow (Zeb) comes looking for Maeve Daugherty, daughter of his employer. He finds her working as an accountant at a brothel in San Antonio. He plans to take this unwilling woman back to her family in New York ? first, he has to find Maeve?s uncle (who ran away to Texas with her).
Overall, I?m glad I bought the book and enjoyed it all!
