Texas of the 1880's was a land of opportunity. Texas needed people willing to take a chance, stake their claim, and when needed, tame the lawless. Enter Mike Stone, a New Mexico bartender with a fast and deadly gun, and Ash McKinnon, from the backwoods of Tennessee. They join the Texas Rangers and along the way, meet the daughter of an Army Major and a horse ranch owner.
Together, they leave their mark on a new and wide open land.
I can't tell you what possessed me to get this book on Kindle. I like westerns, and I like stories about the Texas Rangers -- and this book clicked both of those. The two main characters were fun. They enjoyed each other, and the writer made them enjoyable to follow. It took me a while to finish this, as I have not been reading on my Kindle as much as I had in the past. Good, easy, and fun read -- if westerns are in your wheelhouse, you might enjoy this.
This is a book bundle meaning two stories in one book. Texas Rangers Mike Stone and Ash McKinnon, meet up, go on a cattle drive and then are invited to join the Rangers. Along the way, Mike meets Sarah while investigating land they both inherited, while Ash works on horse thieving and meets Jessica on her ranch where she breeds top notch horses. The stories are guaranteed to hold a reader's interest and both hubby and I love this genre’. Thanks for great stories.
If you've worked on a successful team you've learned the strong bonds are held together with trust and humor. Mike and Ash are the essential partnership that gives the story a base that allows many well conceived characters to shine. You've got me at the table......keep dishing out the stories!!!
I would recommend this book as a YA, but I think it is too boring for youth. For a western, there is a dearth of action and the characters are all cardboard cutouts and overly predictable.
