Helpful Score: 1
Humor and romance abound in this lighthearted novel about Cady the owner of a saloon in Paradise and the "gunslinger" that walks into her life.
It only takes 3 words to describe this book: Just plain fun! Theres an aptly named villain Mr. Wylie. He doesnt just want most things, he wants the whole town.
His biggest impediment is lovely Cady McGill, owner of the only other saloon in town. Suddenly, real trouble comes to town in the person of the notorious gunfighter, Jesse Gault. He wears only black, smokes black cigarettes, wears a black patch over one eye and has a vengeful snarl. The only person that is unafraid of him is Cady McGill.
Mr. Wylie is sure Cady has hired the gunslinger and Cady is just as sure that Wylie has brought Gault to town to kill her. Gault, however, has other plans. His reputation is so frightening that strangers beg him to take their money and let them live.
The ironies will have you chuckling through the book. This is a lighthearted look at life in the West.

As the owner of a saloon in Paradise, Oregon, Cady McGill is surviving in a man's world. She can't afford to let her guard down for anyone-especially the man in black who arrives out of nowhere to arouse her suspicions...and her senses. He calls himself Jesse Gault-an achingly attractive stranger with guns on his hips and a mocking smile on his lips. But Cady has seen her share of swindlers, and she knows that Gault's charms are as deceptive as his name. Yet even as sudden gunfire blazes, desire flares in Cady's heart. Now she must fight her own deepest feelings as a man who is not what he seems awakens a tender, abiding passion that can only be the real thing.
