The Sheriffs of Savage Wells

GIVEAWAY
RANDOM RETRO READ DAY!

EDEN, SARAH M.

THE SHERIFFS OF SAVAGE WELLS

He's the most fearsome sheriff in the West. A force to be reckoned with. The stuff of legend.

So is she...May the best sheriff win.

Paisley Bell knows the eccentric people of Savage Wells. From the absentminded shopkeeper who always thinks she's been robbed to the young man who has returned shell-shocked from the war, Paisley has compassion for them all. When the sheriff up and leaves town, Paisley steps up and assumes the responsibility, partly because she loves the work, but also because she needs the income to take care of her sick father. So when the town council decides that the position of sheriff should really go to a man, Paisley finds herself fighting to prove that she's the perfect candidate for the job, even though she wears a skirt.

Cade O'Brien is heartily sick of shooting people. In his many years as a lawman, Cade has seen his share of blood and violence. So when he answers an advertisement for a sheriff job in the sleepy town of Savage Wells, he believes he's found the peace and quiet he's always desired. But when he discovers that his biggest competition for the job is a woman, he begins to question his decision.

Tension between the two begins to sizzle when both Cade and Paisley realize the attraction they have for each other, but when Paisley's former beau shows up in town, along with a band of bank robbers, the blossoming relationship between the two sheriffs is tested. They will have to work together to thwart the bank robbers and keep the town safe.

My Review:

published in 2016

Hysterically witty and romantical and so much fun! Love the Western twang to the banter that volleys between Cade and Paisley. 

He's your typical Western hero, tough and relentless in the pursuit of lawlessness with an innate protector gene that gets him into all kinds of trouble with Paisley. Yet he respects her too, both her gumption and capabilities and reluctantly acknowledges that she can teach him a thing or two -- as long as he manages to guard his heart during their encounters.

Paisley is her own kind of tough mixed with naivety and a heart for the quirky misfits who call Savage Wells home. She might not be the Wild West legend Cade is, but she has a knack for dealing kindly and efficiently with the unique townsfolk.

Let the games begin as Cade and Paisley duke it out for the job of sheriff. It should be straight forward, Cade has all the experience after all. But Paisley has the grit to challenge him and their competition is loads of fun...until bank robbers show up in town and these two adversaries must become allies for the greater good.

I read the second Savage Wells book first (Healing Hearts) and loved it so much I immediately started in on this one. Eden has created such a memorable setting with the kind of quirky characters that keep a reader grinning. And she achieves the perfect balance between humour and drama and swoonalicious romance. 

I'm all kinds of heartbroken that this seems to be the last book in the series. :-( Gutted really. What about Hawk, inquiring readers want to know? Doesn't he get his own story? Sniffle.

I listened to the audible edition narrated by Kristen Potter and enjoyed every delectable second!
