Beginning the tale of Hitch and Cole, Parker writes an intriguing tale of friendship, loyalty, and honor. Hitch and Cole are hired as Sheriff and deputy in the lawless town of Appaloosa. They are brought in to try and bring order and peace to the city being run by Bragg. Then enters Allie, a seemingly nice innocent woman that falls for Cole and vice versa. This becomes the pivotal plot. We follow the gunslingers as they try to catch Bragg in the act, protect Allie from herself, and have a few gunfights along the way. I enjoyed this story very much. Resolution is the second book in this series, and it takes off where this ones leaves off and elevates the story. The characters are great, as is the dry humor of the two main characters.
