I binge read the series in one month, 12 books. That makes my 2nd western in one year and I loved it. This one takes place during the Wild Wild West and it was such a great adventure that I loved every minute of it. I recommend this to anyone who likes a fun adventure in the West .

It’s been a few years since I’ve read a Loner book. But this one quickly reminded me why that series is one of my favorites! Smooth writing, fast moving, and loaded with action. It’s entertaining from start to finish, just like every Loner entry has been .
Highly recommended.

Oooh damn! A bit slow to start but the ending more then made up for it. I'm so glad I have the next book to dive into because waiting would be cruel!!! I thoroughly enjoy this author!

This was an excellent read. I would say a lot more but I am afraid I would spoil it for a lot of people! Let me just say I couldn't take my eyes off of it! Enjoyed it! Johnstone rocks!

This was by far my favorite book of this series. Need to know---Is J. A. Johnstone a woman?
