How to review this?
Parts of it were interesting, the human interest parts. But during any suspense details, there were so many inane flaws that I kept rolling my eyes and wishing the author had been a bit more astute. People running around shooters rather than away or at least ducking, or right in front of the sheriff when he's shooting? A woman telling the outlaws she and the sheriff were close so they could conclude she'd be the perfect hostage? Telling them the sheriff will be back in a few hours? Texas Rangers taking off, leaving a town defenseless? The sheriff returning an abducted woman home 15 miles away when the outlaws were right there in his town?
Maybe a 10 year old will like this, but the violence and several near rapes would make it a bad choice.
The use of profanity and many irreverent scenes makes the label of Christian fiction doubtful.
Sadly, this wasn't what I'd hoped.

Action adventure and a bit of romance.
This series is really exciting to read. You feel like you are right there on the scene involved in all the action. I love this family and how they are always helping others done wrong.
Rex lost the woman he loved and his only child. He needs to get away so takes a job as a sheriff. So good to read you will read straight through. All of these books are that way.

Now this is one interesting and keep you guessing western. I think this is the best one in the series yet. Realistic, fast paced and those I hope the bad guy gets a little tough western justice moments! Like westerns? Try this one, I really enjoyed it. I think you will too. I was gifted a copy, no review was required. My review is voluntary.

A Cowboy's Honor by Joseph Powell is a well written, very fast paced story with lots of action. This is one page turning book and I just had to keep reading. Well developed characters with good family values --well, at least the good guys! Highly recommend this good western.

April 8, 2019An outstanding display of family camaraderie that only intensifies with each new exciting adventure. A heartwarming rendition of our great American folklore adventures that grabs the reader's undivided attention immediately and never lets up from beginning to end. I have read other entertaining revelations by Mr. Powell, but never one of this outstanding magnitude, as Sheriff Rex's intentions never diminish until the job is effectively under control!

You will enjoy some suspenseful moments, as well as compassionate episodes of romantic relationships and definitely plentiful amounts of great ongoing gunfights! Try these books, as you are otherwise the loser!
