White Squaw #2

Boomtown Bust

Rate this book
After chasing the Bitter Creek Jake Tulley Gang out of Nebraska, the gang has reloaded-literally and figuratively-and resurfaced in nearby Colorado, to take over a mining town near Silver Creek, which will become Denver.

While Rebecca Caldwell, the titular character, and her “white Indian” friend Brett Baylor, a.k.a. Lone Wolf, do manage to kill several of Tulley’s hardcases, both find themselves captured by different entities. Rebecca, captured by the Tulley gang and her evil uncle Ezekial, is put to work in a brothel by a friend of Ezekial’s, Flora Belle Chase, who guarantees Rebecca’s submission through a combination of opium and sapphic sex. Brett is jailed after a fight with members of notorious Indian hater John Chivington’s Colorado volunteers. Brett is eventually released and Rebecca is saved by her current lover, Matt Peterson, who also has personal reasons for wanting revenge on Tulley.

Together, Rebecca, Brett and Matt encourage the townspeople to rise up against Tulley’s gang. They do, leading to the deaths of several of Tulley’s men, including one that is EXTREMELY graphic. Tulley, Styles and their crew do escape, leaving Rebecca and Brett to chase them another time.

This review is of “Boomtown Bust”, book #2 in the “White Squaw” series by E.J. Hunter.

After chasing the Bitter Creek Jake Tulley Gang out of Nebraska, the gang has reloaded-literally and figuratively-and resurfaced in nearby Colorado, to take over a mining town near Silver Creek, which will become Denver.

While Rebecca Caldwell, the titular character, and her “white Indian” friend Brett Baylor, a.k.a. Lone Wolf, do manage to kill several of Tulley’s hardcases, both find themselves captured by different entities. Rebecca, captured by the Tulley gang and her evil uncle Ezekial, is put to work in a brothel by a friend of Ezekial’s, Flora Belle Chase, who guarantees Rebecca’s submission through a combination of opium and sapphic sex. Brett is jailed after a fight with members of notorious Indian hater John Chivington’s Colorado volunteers. Brett is eventually released and Rebecca is saved by her current lover, Matt Peterson, who also has personal reasons for wanting revenge on Tulley.

Together, Rebecca, Brett and Matt encourage the townspeople to rise up against Tulley’s gang. They do, leading to the deaths of several of Tulley’s men, including one that is EXTREMELY graphic. Tulley, Styles and their crew do escape, leaving Rebecca and Brett to chase them another time.

Upside:: Fans of the 80’s television series, “The A-Team” will find similarities to that series in “Boomtown Bust”. Like in the T.V. series, Rebecca and Brett show up in town, get caught, and use homemade weapons to usurp the bad guys. Like in the first book, Rebecca has a lot of sex; not all of it entirely consensual.

Downside: For the most part, “Boomtown Bust” is pretty much the same book as the first book, “Sioux Wildfire”, the lone exception being that the first book was set in Nebraska, the second in Colorado. There’s nothing wrong with having a formula, but a tweak here and there is a good thing.

Sex: As usual, Rebecca has a lot of sex. Not only while she’s drugged up in and in Ezekial’s brothel, but also she reminisces about her late husband, Four Horns, and has a lot of sexual encounters with her lover in this book, Matt Peterson. The sex scenes are lengthy and graphic.

Violence: The body count continues to rise. Multiple scenes of shooting, rape and murder. The last murder, in particular, is the most graphic killing scene I’ve ever read. It is not for the faint of heart.

Bottom Line: This series isn’t for everyone, but if one likes sexy, graphically violent revenge-based series, “White Squaw” will fill the bill.
