Unfortunate
Christian themes, but not Christian. Daggart is pretty loose with the swear words so if you are sensitive to that, please give this a pass.
Daggart Bartlett, mean, villainous, terminally cranky. He had a routine of prospecting for gold, cashing in his ore, and drinking it up that night. A life spent in the saloon and sleeping it off until the next day suited him just fine. He didn't need saving or help unless someone wanted to pan for gold for him.
Mary O'Brien, however, had plans for him. A God fearing, stubborn do gooder, she had no choice but to clean Daggart up and hauls him into church. Mary vowed to turn him from whiskey-soaked to Bible reading so he wouldn't fritter his life away. Finding the good in Mr. Bartlett proves more difficult than she thought. Is it possible that not even God can help this unfortunate man?

April 6, 2023So the rapist from book one gets a novella of his own? Why would I want to see him get a HEA?
But as you can see by the first lines of the blurb, this author does actually understand content warnings, just for swearing and Christian themes, but not for rape or domestic abuse.
This is the most misguided series I have ever seen.
Just Nope.
Kindle suggestions are toxic.

I was hesitant about reading Daggart's story after I grew to despise him through reading Laura Stapleton's book, Undeniable. This witty, heart warming story changed how I feel about a character I felt I knew. Don't miss the rest of the Oregon Trail series to get the full picture!

Excellent short story
I didn't realize it was a short story and was thrown, at first, by the lack of section breaks. It didn't take long to forget about the breaks and just enjoy the story. It was a fun, feel good read that was very well written. And after reading the first two books in the series, it was great 'seeing' Daggart in the mud.

This was another short story in the series that could've been an epilogue to Beth & Nick's story, or made a little longer as a novella to tell more of Daggart's story of redemption. It felt completely unfinished, almost like this bit of the story was an afterthought.
