The Railwalkers
America, 1887. In a country healing from the horrors of the Civil War, the American West has never been more treacherous. Evil men do as they please, and the often faulty and corrupt justice system does little to nothing to help their victims.
Enter the Railwalkers. Bandits whose only goal is to punish those whom the law has allowed to walk free. Some think they're an urban legend, meant to scare would-be criminals into submission. Some see them as no different than the murderers they kill, while to others, they are angels of mercy. To Violet Donovan, they are family.
Growing up as the sole heiress to the sizable Donovan estate, Violet's place of privilege allowed her wild spirit to flourish. Despite the pressures of her sex -- find a husband, stay pretty, have children, be subservient, don't speak out of line -- Violet is passionate, loud, stubborn, and untamed. However, at the ripe, marriageable age of twenty, Violet faces the fact that she may have to give in to her mother's wishes and marry mean, ugly Eustace Carpenter, the only other family name in their little town with comparable worth.
But Violet's life changes forever when she is saved from an attacker by a strange woman. A woman who, like Violet, doesn't exactly fit the mold. Unfortunately Violet gets mixed up in a murder charge and has to leave everything she knows for a life on the run from the law. Through divine intervention, she and the woman cross paths again, and Violet comes to know her and her comrades.
They are Mei Wong, Linus Cooper, Sitting Bear, and Rory McNab. The infamous Railwalker gang.

About the author
Ruth E. Hanson
5 books15 followersBorn in Burbank but with a second home in San Diego, I've been writing stories since I could put pencil to paper. As I got older, I started writing fan works to help sharpen my skills, and prepare me for writing professionally years later. ((Yes I still write fan works. No none of my books are fanfictions I've "filed the numbers" off of. No I will not tell you my penname. You're going to have to dig))
My first book was published when I was only nineteen. And while I am proud of that fact, it is, regrettably, a book I wrote when I was nineteen. "Personal Demons: The Book of Binding" is no longer in print, but I think there might be copies floating around somewhere. It's for the best, though I'll always remember it fondly.
My next venture was the "Unscripted" series. Originally under the penname Rosie Aikman, I wrote two out of three books of the trilogy for the publishing house Less than Three Press. When the house shut its doors a few years ago, I focused then on what would be my best critical debut so far.
"The Railwalkers" debuted in Feb 2021. I was pleased to meet a new publishing house willing to take on both it and the "Unscripted" books, though I retained my real name moving forward. It took me five years to write and research, and proved to be the most challenging title under my belt. However, it's also the most rewarding.
I have more books planned, including "Unscripted Act 3" and an entry into the erotica genre.

I did very much overall enjoy this historic read, of a naive young woman falsely accused, having to go on the run after living a very sheltered life and ending up with a small band of justice-serving bandits, including one alluring female murderess in Mei.
Its 1887. I love the rep here. The character of Mei is of Chinese heritage, while her companions are a freed black man (and son of former slaves) called Linus. A native American man called Sitting Bear. Plus an Irish child called Rory. Add in Violet, the innocent and unworldly woman who has lived a life of privilege up until going on the run after being attacked by a notable man in her town (who had also raped her friend) and being accused of his murder - when it was infact Mei who had killed him, hired to do so by other women he had violated. Their band seeks to dole out justice to those who would never be held accountable for their disgusting acts.
Violet was a frustrating yet believable character who was very judgemental at first, and constantly made stereotypical yet hurtful remarks about people based on race and job etc. But she isn't ignorant, just uneducated in the matters of the real world outside of her white privilege - simply parroting things she's heard be reinforced through her life. Although she isn't necessarily racist, she just lacks the understanding of hurtful cliches. But she is genuinely caring, and willing to learn.
In many ways she's quite childish, in that she truly believes race doesn't matter and that law, order and justice will always be served, despite colour. She is shown to truly love her families hired woman of colour, who acts more as a mother and confidant than her own. But again, she doesn't get the subtlety and nuances of race issues in their world at the time, and how difficult it can be for people of colour to have to rely on the 'kindness' of white folk in charge, who often aren't fair - let alone 'just'.
Through her stay with the bandits she learns more about how this world treats anyone different, and isn't really interested in fair play. Including herself as a pretty young white woman, thinking she is something to be possessed and taken for others pleasure. She learns to fight for herself, and think for herself. However I did find some of her repetitive judgements a bit much. Such as, right after she gets a schooling from Linus about slavery and its abolishment, how difficult it really is for his people and their treatment even in the aftermath of supposed 'freedom'.... she goes on to be the same sort of insensitive to Sitting Bear about the Indian Nations, callings them 'savages'. *head desk* It just felt a bit like one step forward, two steps back... But then again, this is probably also realistic. Someone like that, from that time period and upbringing couldn't be too woke, too quick. So while, yes her behaviour is exasperating, she quickly realizes the hurt she has caused and seeks to fix it and educate herself. Which is more than a lot of people can say even in today's world. So I can appreciate it. The growth of her character is lovely to read about.
While the relationship between Mei and Violet is fairly slow burn, it's also disappointingly skipped over quickly once we do get there. There's no sex scenes, which seemed almost a cop out. Not that I wanted it for the lustiness, moreso just to see Violets own journey with her sexuality, and how the more stoic and brash Mei treats her lady. It would have helped establish their connection apart from their more antagonistic beginnings.
The writer went to great lengths to give us so much rich detail in so many areas, and also to show Violets own growth... yet the romance and them deciding to *be* together for the first time, ultimately fell a bit flat and was basically treated like it wasn't a big deal... When we know by this point Violet makes a big deal of everything! LOL So it felt out of place, and completely wrong for her character. She does have her usual parroted thoughts on the same-sex attraction, right at the beginning when she is first getting to know Mei and her love for ladies only, but the whole subject never did fully develop properly. Perhaps the writer just ended up utilizing too many things, so this one plot point suffered.
This is quite a long one, but it never felt tedious. About 7-8 hours. There's constant action and adventure, but also stops and starts and getting to know each other and learning about big issues. But it never felt preachy. It all felt organic, through Violet's shielded life and eyes that are now opening up and becoming bigger and with more understanding - but still always a lot of heart and caring, which I appreciated. There's lots of talk of morality and justice, and how that simply doesn't play out like it should in their world depending on status/standing and race. Again, entirely relatable, sadly still in today's world! So it was poignant.
I would absolutely highly recommend this one to lovers of historic fiction, just don't go looking too deeply in the romance area. But everything else was incredibly solid and satisfying.

This one just wasn't catching me. I think it was a combination of the narration that was way too uptight for the Old West-style dialogue and the writing just not being that good - far too play-by-play for my liking, and too much extraneous detail that didn't add anything to the story. Additionally, I didn't find the MC likeable at all; of course, that could be a plot choice and I'm sure her character develops over time, but by 23% and knowing how long this one is...It's a pass for me 😐

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
The Railwalkers is a captivating story set during a turbulent period in American history. With unforgettable characters, richly detailed descriptions, and engaging dialogue, it dives into the injustices many people faced during that time. Violet’s sheltered life gets turned upside down when she’s accused of murder and as she journeys with the Railwalkers, a group determined to bring justice where the law falls short. Despite tackling some heavy themes, the story has just the right balance of sweet romance, a strong sense of found family, and plenty of lively, entertaining moments. This book was so hard to put down—it actually got a little frustrating when life kept interrupting me! I was completely wrapped up in these characters’ lives, and even though the story had a satisfying ending, it’s one that’s going to stay with me for a long time. Whether you’re a fan of historical romance or not, this is a must-read for everyone!

This book has such a great concept I really thought I’d love it, but Violet really ruined this whole book for me. She doesn’t really have much of a character arch, and in 400+ pages I was hoping a little more would happen. Her piety was really grating at times, her “naivety” and “ignorance” were really over exaggerated and I think her moral dilemma with killing these terrible men could have been better portrayed because the way it was written really seemed like she was defending the men, rather then dealing with her internal struggle. Even having multiple firsthand experiences, and seeing and hearing the after effects of what the men who The Railwalkers went after we’re capable of she didn’t gain any understanding of at least that portion of it. When she finally did it seemed like nothing for most of the book then all at once at the very end.
I liked Mei, Linus and Rory they were so well written and super interesting characters, but they were frequently used as sort of learning opportunities, or character building for Violet. Sitting Bear could have been a good character but unfortunately he was really flat, boring, and his character’s personality relied on stereotypes. I think had he been taken out of the book entirely it wouldn’t have made much of a difference to the storyline. Aside from my dislike of the main character I think this book could have benefited from multiple POVs especially being 400+ pages it would have changed it up a little more and kept it interesting because I started to get bored about half way through and it started to really slow down. I wish this were just The Railwalkers and their story because that would have been way more interesting to me.

Pretty good story, but I probably wouldn’t read it again.
The story was pretty good but there were some things that started piling on that made me not enjoy it all that much.
Firstly, there were a lot of grammar mistakes. Nothing big, but with so many it got really distracting. I started highlighting them because I kept noticing them. Honestly, it made me wonder if anyone even edited the book, some things were so simple and stood out. There is a time where Sitting Bear is called Sleeping Bear and Violet is called Violent. Those are simple autocorrect mistakes that should have been caught.
Secondly, the story gets too convoluted in its attempt to tick every stereotypical outlaw thing possible. I get there there are certain things you’d expect in a story about rough and tough rail walking outlaws I just felt it was a little too over the top when it came to all the stuff they had to go through. Then to top it all off there wasn’t an epilogue so I felt like the ending wasn’t satisfying at all.
Thirdly, while I appreciate the time frame and everything (Historic fiction is my favorite), the accents were a little annoying to read. Not everyone, Grammy definitely... but the constant reading around clunky accents got a little annoying. Also, sometimes their actions -especially Mei and Violet’s- felt super anachronistic and modern. Like when they were walking around in SF openly kissing and being in love. And the way Hearst just accepts them in the end, like there is just no way. And speaking of Hearst, I just didn’t buy it. But I digress.
The story wasn’t all terrible, I enjoyed it mostly and liked the characters (although Violet pretty much folds on her convictions the second she gets a chance and I didn’t really like that) for the most part. I actually really liked the beginning and think it could have been more successful if the author had just simplified a bit.
Overall, if I’m gonna read a western lesbian romance I’ll just stick to my tried and true Backwards to Oregon.

alright so I really REALLY wanted to like this book. heard about it from the author on a podcast and thought “wow this seems right up my alley! a bunch of poc and queer mercenaries traversing the US? Sign me up!” But it really just ended up being white girl discovers privilege and oppression over and over again. the last quarter was pretty good, but I think it’s just missing something to make me really /care/ about these characters to justify the length of this book.

I went to Reddit and asked for a book that felt like the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 but with lesbians and this was suggested to me and it did not disappoint! It felt exactly like the world of Red Dead, so much so that it was easy to picture the gang in places that only exist in the game as easy as it was to picture them in the real life locations that they were described to be in.
There was so much to love about this book. The characters felt real in how complicated and multifaceted they were. The slurs were hard to hear in audiobook form, but it added real historical context and pain to what the characters were experiencing. Though, I found it odd that the book was trying to be realistic about the racism and mistreatment/endangerment the non-white members of the gang faced, and yet it allowed the sapphic characters to live in a world where they could kiss in public, touch all over each other, and even eventually openly and loudly proclaim their love with absolutely zero pushback or retaliation from the other denizens of the world. It was like, did you want the book to feel realistic of America in the 1890s or not?
What I didn't like was the ending. Several times throughout the book I said to myself "wow this could have been three or four books, I'm so glad they put it all in one", but then the actual ending was so abrupt, so rushed. Idk, just felt like a very thought out book that didn't know how to end so they just ended it; I think the story could have massively benefited from an epilogue.

This book was so goddamn GOOD. It was incredibly well researched, the pace was great and the characters' development is palpable. You become stunned to see how much the protagonist Violet has changed during this moment where she's looking at her own reflection, a year into the story, and go "woah she's gone through some shit."
I love the evolving group dynamics, the amazing representation where it FEELS INTEGRAL to the story rather than forced in the middle of an ever-changing U.S.A., the conflicts with the different indigenous groups, the true consequences of the Civil War and the Chinese immigration into the country. There's so much you learn riding along with the Railwalkers about life post-Civil War.
And then, top it all of with an enemies to friends to lovers dynamic between two women whom you see grow and fall in love with each other, and you got an incredible story.
My only real criticism is there wasn't a grammar check for the Spanish dialogues, but, hell, the author wrote and edited it herself. I will cut her the slack since she has created my favorite sapphic cowgirls (I'm probably using the term wrong but you get the gist).

Everything sacred to classic westerns, but better
I honestly can't say enough good things about this book. I'm gonna get a hard copy for my shelf and buy the audible version.
I'm not religious, but I think I'll start a nightly prayer routine for it to get picked up as a Netflix mini series.
I skipped work for this book. I want to go into detail on what I liked here, but honestly? I don't want to spoil a single second. If you're considering this book enough to read the reviews, just...stop now, get the book, and read it.
There is nothing here to regret.
But maybe start it on your day off so you don't skip work like I did!

Grammy O'Grady's Stories!
Slow starter, but it soon picked up speed. Looks like in all the years of my life, the laws haven't changed much. This book needs to be added to required reading in College. Off to my next Adventure.

I listened to this one and really drug it out because I wanted to ride with the Railwalkers as king as possible.
I loved this book and it was one I was sad to finish and sad to find it’s not the beginning of a series.

The cover perfectly captures the gritty, lawless feel of the American West. The dusty landscape, the ominous sky, and the hint of danger in the background all set the stage for this story of rebellion and justice. It makes me want to dive right in!

Good read
Enjoyable read from this author. I don’t normally read older western like books, but I enjoyed the story and the characters. The Railwalkers really came alive and has some intense moments and surprising ones. It even gets a little sad.

Did not finish. Way too much virtue signing in this book for me.
