I love historical romances but I normally don't favor those with a "western" theme. However, "Sweetwater Seduction" is definitely a KEEPER!!!
The heroine, spinster schoolteacher Eden Devlin, is smart and spunky and provided a number of laughs.
Burke Kerrigan is a gunslinger with a heart of gold. Ruggedly handsome yet boyishly charming, I couldn't help but picture him as Jack Hughman.
The chemistry between these two was only slightly overshadowed by the battle of sharp wits that ensued between them throughout the book.
Laughs, likeable secondary characters, and a few tugs on the heartstrings (I cried at the end *blush) - I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone!

The farmers and the cattlemen in the Wyoming territory are blaming each other for many things, but they are brought up short when the spinster school marm convinces the wives to follow the example of "Lysistrata" and withhold sexual favors until there is peace. There are a few complications to this, including a dark stranger who's cast his eye on her favors. A charming historical western, with some real laugh-out-loud sections.
Joan Johnston always gives a rousing read.
Very good book. It's about a scool teacher that wants the town to stop fighting. She's the go between because she isn't on either side. She gets the ladies of the twon to stop having sex with the husbands untill they decide to stop fighting. A new guy comes into the picture and she falls in love unexpectly with him after a while. Keeps you going from one page to the next.
Great book!
Western romance
Schoolmarm Eden Devlin was too tall and too smart. Most men in Sweetwater wouldn't tangle with her Until Burke Kerrigan rode into town. Big, hard, and handsome, he wore a pair of six-guns and a bold lazy smile. He came to settle the war between the nesters and the ranchers, but soonhad another challenge on his hands. Both sides in Sweetwater's dispute wanted the meddling Miss Devlin taught a thing or two. Simple seduction seemed the perfect lesson. But Kerrigan didn't count on the fire beneath the brains and innocence.
Good book

A great historical romance. Feisty heroine (Eden Devlin), strong hero (Burke Kerrigan) . Romance, mystery, conflict- all present and accounted for. Loved the verbal confrontations and interactions between Eden and Kerrigan.
