Helpful Score: 10
This is one of my favorite books! (it will never leave my shelf!) The heroine is so funny and she comes from a quirky family who has indulged her own eccentricities, which drives our hero nuts. The hero is a hardened hired gun (and sometimes reluctant gunfighter), but has a surprising sense of duty and loyalty. He also has a few moments of soft-heartedness that is very endearing, some of it relating to events from his childhood.
a very good read if you like romance with a little comedic relief thrown in. A very endearing ending as well.

Number three in Johanna Lindsey's Western series. The book was a good read, set in exciting 1881 Texas.
Cassie Stuart gets in the middle of a 25 year-old feud and needs a peacemaker. What she gets is Angel-a ruggedly handsome hired gun with eyes as black as sin.
More Texas intrigue.
An angel of a book...
This is a light-hearted novel (a la Geralyn Dawson) with lots of amusing dialogue. The whole plot rotates around Cassie Stuart's interfering with a twenty-five-year-old feud between two families. She notices that the younger daughter and son of opposing sides were smitten with each other. She encouraged them to marry. Then trouble began again, this time against Cassie.
The Angel of Death and Cassie were well-matched. Cassie was capable of creating untold trouble and The Angel (a rugged gunfighter) was capable of ending the trouble. However, Cassie wanted a peacemaker and Angel was more adept at using his Peacemaker (gun).
The one thing I thought stupid was the subplot with the black panther. It really didn't seem to add much to the plot. Otherwise, the story moved at a great pace. I didn't learn until the end that this is the third book of the "Wyoming" series.

I am not a fan of Johanna Lindsey in general, but if you like her other books you will love this one.
Good romance.
Like it a lot
