If there's one thing that can be said about Cora Leon, it's that there's never been a better shot. At least, not in her neck of the woods. In fact, Cora prides herself on being able to "shoot 'em, rope 'em, and outride 'em" no matter how big or fast the competition may be. And now that she's been saddled with her late father's debts, she'll do anything to win--even if it means riding into an arena under the guise of a cowpoke. However, she can't help but wonder what the greater prize may be as she begins to fall for "The Sure Shot Saint."
A California champion taking to the road, Diego "Sure Shot" Santiago wants to establish himself as the greatest showman the west has ever witnessed. What better place to start than in his cousin's hometown of Blessings, Colorado? A bustling community with plenty of growth, Diego is ready to impress. The only problem is the "cowboy" competing against him. Diego is willing to play Cora's game, though. That is, until it looks like he can't win. Has Diego finally met his match? Will settling as second best earn him first place in her heart?
There's bound to be a grand show when these two "cowboy up!"

Great book!! Mimi Milan writes such a good story. I love that she is able to teach a some history along with the story. Thank you for keeping the town Noelle alive.
Noelle lives up to its friendly depiction and old friends from prior stories Embrace the new friends. A couple of twists and the story line evolves into the romantic.
Delightful historical romance about single women's options to save themselves their families from ruin - financial and / or their reputation. Historical info on mining towns the railroad, entertainment, and the building of cities is woven into a historical romance. Fell in love with feisty Cora.
While this book took place in the same town and had several of the same supporting characters as the rest of this series, this author didn't manage to capture the same feelings or emotions as the other authors on this series. The book was poorly edited. There were grammatical errors throughout the book and very choppy transitions from chapter to chapter.
Cora and Diego have a great story. I love how the series of books keeps us in touch with all the characters we have come to love in the rest of the books. I really loved Cora's attitude and desire to protect her sister!
I loved the main characters in this story and catching up with the folks in Noelle once again was great. The events in the book were entertaining and well developed. Looking forward to reading more books in this series.
Diego- the sure shot and Cora/Calico I enjoyed reading this cowboy story that is well written and has strong characters. Their story has a semi complete HEA. Just some questions concerning her family and the villain.
