Publisher's summary

He's the most fearsome sheriff in the West - a force to be reckoned with, the stuff of legend. But so is she. May the best sheriff win.

Paisley Bell knows the eccentric people of Savage Wells. From the absentminded shopkeeper who always thinks she's been robbed to the young man who has returned shell-shocked from the war, Paisley has compassion for them all. When the sheriff up and leaves town, Paisley steps up and assumes the responsibility, partly because she loves the work but also because she needs the income to take care of her sick father. So when the town council decides that the position of sheriff should really go to a man, Paisley finds herself fighting to prove that she's the perfect candidate for the job, even though she wears a skirt.

Cade O'Brien is heartily sick of shooting people. In his many years as a lawman, Cade has seen his share of blood and violence. So when he answers an advertisement for a sheriff job in the sleepy town of Savage Wells, he believes he's found the peace and quiet he's always desired. But when he discovers that his biggest competition for the job is a woman, he begins to question his decisions.

Tension between the two begins to sizzle as both Cade and Paisley realize the attraction they have for each other, but when Paisley's former beau shows up in town along with a band of bank robbers, the blossoming relationship between the two sheriffs is tested. They will have to work together to thwart the bank robbers and keep the town safe.

Enjoyable!

Super fun clean historical romance with witty dialogue and an interesting subplot. Although I generally do not read any book set in the "West" , I was drawn into the plot immediately. I'd already read Healing Hearts (book 2 in the series) so I was familiar with many of the characters. I really hope the author continues with this series - so much potential for plots in Savage Wells. Definitely recommend - and I'll be listening to this one again.

Very entertaining!

A tongue in cheek, hilarious comedy that entertained me throughout this story. I loved Ms Eden’s sense of humor and the way she put words to the page. Her descriptions of the characters would make you chuckle and envision them easily. I could easily see this story as a movie. I loved the way the narrator read this. She had a wide range of voices plus just the right emphasis on certain words to make the comedy even more entertaining. The romance was a very slow burn only due to the candidates of the job for sheriff. Our romantic pair of the competitors, Cade and Paisley, bantered continuously. Firstly, it was with fierce competition and gradually turned into a more gentle banter with words of affection.

This story also includes underlying themes which afflicted the secondary characters such as prejudice against women working in a man’s world, dementia, PTSD, etc. Paisley was very good and equally as capable as any man at the job of being the sheriff of their small town of Savage Wells. However, as soon as it was made known that the bank was expecting higher monetary deposits in the immediate future the town council agreed the job of sheriff needed to be a fierce, intimidating, and strong man who would make the robbers think twice about attacking their town’s bank rather than a woman.

I loved the dry humor that Ms Eden wrote into this story and how the narrator spoke and emphasized certain words to allow us to understand that dry humor. I’m not sure the reader of the ebook or paperback would understand that dry humor just by reading it. This audible version I highly recommend.

“A Proper Romance”

Editor’s note above…although set in a small WY town. Penny Dreadfuls by same author are more to my liking but this one was good for a cowboy romance!
