What an enjoyable story of an outlaw’s little sister, who was also raised by said brother, by way of him robbing to feed them. His crimes grew and grew, although he never, ever involved his sister. She gets taken into custody, and when they can’t find any information about her brother from her, a woman attorney has the sheriff release Jane to her custody. The attorney’s youngest brother-in-law, Dodge, still lives in the house with his older brother and sister-in-law, although he’s almost 18 and feels like he should be on his own parcel of land, just like his other brothers. Jane and Dodge are pretty much instantly drawn to each other, simply because she hasn’t had the opportunity to meet or be around people their own age before and he hasn’t had many to hang around with that are his age either. You should really get this book and relax and enjoy it!! I loved it. 📕♥️

Loved Dodge and Jane's story! Now, all of the Barra boys are set! One thing I especially liked was Jo showed that no matter your circumstances, you can still know God and that He will bring you through. We all face choices every day, and those choices make us who we are. We also, sometimes, have to deal with the consequences of choices others have made; choices we didn't make, but that still effect us. God never promised us a smooth road; however, He promises to walk that road with us. God can still use us, if we just let Him.

Jane
Jane is supposed to have all the answers, but the only answer is, I don't know, and she truly does not know. Although she has traveled for years with her brother Hunters outlaw band he has kept her in the dark never once revealing any secrets to her. When the kind sheriff places her with Dodge's family he makes it his business to learn her business, but he finds that Jane is nothing but kind and needs to be shown kindness in return. This story weaves to a great climax with a good fight and shows good fami!y compromise.

Hunter absconded with his younger sister, Jane, from an abusive uncle. The only way to support them was to join a gang. Although Jane had nothing to do with the gang's escapades, she was caught and jailed until a local family took her in. There she meets Dodge who is at first suspicious of her but this soon changes. Desiring to go forth, Jane is frozen by fear of her brother's unexpected intervention. Cute title, story, despite being somewhat condensed. Could have been so much more but good for a clean bedtime read....

Jingle bell Jane
Jane was the sister of a highly wanted man,he had committed many crimes but she was always left in the dark as to his plans. Jane had been mistreated by their Uncle and the last evening he was beating Jane her brother broke down and took her away from the abuse. This book in the series was another great story on abuse within families and how these two got away from their Uncle. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

Ouick read.
This seemed like a particularly quick read. Some unanswered questions, like where was old Mack? That was never answered. The ending seemed to raise a few questions. Story felt a little disjointed. This was also an insta-love story. Went from being highly suspicious to in-love in a few days.

Really Great Western Series
I so enjoyed Jane and Dodge's story. He is the last of his brothers to fall. Her brother is an outlaw and there's a lot of complications which makes for an interesting read that I totally enjoyed.

Plenty of humor
I especially enjoyed the scene at the schoolhouse h the teacher confronted the girl. Funny
The girl must decide which path to take: a life of crime or honesty.

A Nice Short Story
Unless there is some rule that gives a distinction between a short story and a novel, this is a short story. Much too short. Nevertheless, it was a good story.

Interesting
I have enjoyed this series. The characters are witty, cute and fabulous. I would really like to see Madge with a happily ever after storyline. I know at 26 or however her age is now is considered a spinster, but she has so much to give. The sheriff also needs a family. The Reverend Bishop wasn't married, was he? She would make either one a fantastic wife. Old Mack at 46 or 50 needs a new love. Keep them coming. Love them.
