Once a feared bounty hunter, Ezra Fielding walked away from that life after a bar fight went wrong. Now he owns a ranch with his beloved wife, Pennie. But the shadows he outran are catching up, and the peace he’s built is about to be shattered...

As their world burns, Ezra and Pennie are thrust into a deadly game where their lives hang by a thread. Ezra must protect the woman he loves and their home... But to do so, he’ll have to resurrect the ruthless bounty hunter he once was—a choice that could cost him everything.

The story has a lot of the plot from another author with this same publishing company. There were a few things changed up but you knew what was going to happen before you read it. There needed to be better editing, words were mixed up or the wrong verb used. One minute Ezra said he used 44 Russian revolvers and didn’t like Colts because they didn’t shot straight, but after statement the book only used colts in relating to Ezra.

This is an honest review for this book on what I read. I’m part of this author’s ARC group, plus 4 other authors that write for this publishing company. I’m going to have to rethink about this before I read anymore books by this publishing company. This has happened several times over the last year.

Guardian of the Homestead

This story about a young man who was a bounty hunter until another man made a mistake playing cards by cheating and being told about it and then causing a ruckus until he ended up dead. The bounty hunter moves to a different area miles away to start his own life as a rancher only to end being involved with other ranchers and getting beaten down by a killer looking for him. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill
