Awesome!
I don't know if Me. Arwater intended it, but I think he just wrote the sequel to "Blazing Saddles"! He hooked so many western cliches together, with just enough serious time to catch your breath, I laughed my a.., backside, off.
Thank you. This was a great way to start my day.
I recommend this book.

a truly suspenseful cowboy tale
This well written cowboy tale was truly a reminder of the Saturday cowboy thrillers movies I would see at the local theater. It was a delight to read a story filled with characters good white hat heroes and just plain old fashion bad guys that wore black hats. And have the ending come out as it should, the good guys win and get the girl.

This has been a truly exceptional western romance Novel that I highly recommend to your Western Readers that are looking for one of the very best that I have read. Great Characters with lots of action and suspense. The ending was perfect for this Couple and the Storyline.

Showdown in Lander
This turned out to be a fantastic story. It had a lot of action and the beginnings of a real love story. I really think this has the makings of a series.
I recommend this story to all, young and older. Keep reading America!!

Too bad
Amateurish, predictable, glaring proofreading errors, hackneyed, felt like a TV plot. Wish authors who write from a Christian perspective were better writers. Yet I did read it through.

A feel good story that's a quick read and fun to the finish. Easy going and slightly predictable but still entertaining.
