This review is of “Hard Riding Posse”, # 3 in the “Head Hunter” series by E.J. Hunter.
Several storylines are in play here. The Kansas towns of LIberal, Hopewell, and Cottonwood Springs are playing a dangerous game of which one should be the county seat of Crowley County; at various intervals, “citizens” from all three steal the documents proclaiming each the county seat. Later, Cottonwood Springs hires the Concho Bill Baudine gang to protect them. Big mistake, as the gang takes over the town.
Meanwhile, Charity Rose, the titular character, is with one of her many lovers. Later, she is abducted by a pimp, Lane Everets, who tries to force her into prostitution. Charity, with the assistance of her dog/wolf hybrid, Butch, foils that plan. However, this creates other problems, as Everet’s chippies, now without a pimp, decide that Charity should be responsible for them. They then form a gang to catch Baudine.
The book ends with a violent confrontation in which several members of Baudine’s gang-and several of the prostitutes-are killed, and Charity has to let Baudine go to save the life of her latest lover.
Upside: Not much to speak of.
Downside: “Hard-Riding Posse” is yet another regurgitation of a storyline from the “White Squaw” series. It was boring then and it’s boring now.
Sex: A few love scenes, but none are really exciting or erotic.
Violence: A mild bit of violence, some of which is graphic.
Bottom Line: I’m only reading these books because I paid hard-earned money for them. I would ditch the “Head Hunter” series if it was free.
