Desperado Jones went to Trouble Creek for personal reasons. What he found was Chloe Sommers. She needed his gun hand for fear of sabotages from the Talbots. They owned all the land except for Chloe's. Bought for a small amount from previous owners, before it was known of the railroad coming through. Talbot was determined to have Chloe's land one way or another. Since Old Man Talbot could not buy her out, he had his son court her. After the son bungled that up it became necessary to hurt Chloe financially, so she could not pay her taxes. Then he could foreclose.

Talbot hired the famous gunslinger, Desperado, the moment he entered town. Desperado would sign on with Chloe and do the sabotages for the Talbots. Of course, Desperado was happy to help. He had a grudge against Chloe which she knew nothing about. Desperado and Chloe had never even met. It was not long, though, before Desperado saw Chloe in a whole new light.

***Non-stop action within these pages. This is not your typical book where "her ranch is in trouble, he is hired to run her out but instead ends up saving her". Nope. This one has a whole new twist to it. Preorder this one, if you are able. Well worth the wait! I loved it!***

Connie Mason has a knack for making her male leads so hot and this book was no exception. Desperado is the fastest gun in the west. He is feared and revered by so many. Chloe is about to lose her ranch to a bunch of money-grumbing people and needs a fearsome gunslinger to protect her herd as she makes her way to the market to sell them to pay her back taxes. He is hired on to help her and her herd and her hired hands not more than boys, make it to market, but what Chloe doesn't know is, Desperado has a hidden agenda. The story was explosive and full of action. I loved Desperado. He was pure sex-appeal. He was reknown for his coldness and meanness, but inside Chloe finds his heart. I don't know what it is about the way Mason writes, but her men become so real to the reader that you wish they would walk right off the pages. I loved 'Gunslinger', it's one of the BEST western romances I have EVER read.

What's not to love about Connie Mason's book? They're fabulous. She pretty much covers all the bases meaning in this book you'll find action, adventure, romance, laughter, great secondary characters & hot passion filled scenes. Only thing I was missing this time was a little mystery but that's all right because the book was still awesome. Chloe & Logan (aka Desperado) were an awesome pair that I really enjoyed getting to know. I think they were a great match & very fun to read about. There was non-stop excitement in this book, which made it very gripping. As with all the other Connie Mason book, I'd highly recommend this book.

Very Action Packed. Desperado out for revenge had the tables turned on him when he crossed paths with Chloe, thinking she was like her Mother and finding out that she was quite the opposite. would read again!

I enjoyed this book immensely. The story line caught my attention from the very first page and carried me through to the end without coming off as scattered thoughts and jibberish as to the hero/heroine's thoughts and feelings and didn't drag on in dialogue.

To me, the characters were interesting and believable. I love Desperado, the dark mysterious stranger who comes into town and hires on for a cattle drive, and Chloe spends the rest of the novel trying to figure out what drives him.
Connie Mason did a wonderful job in developing these characters to match wits with each other in interesting, intriguing and sensual ways. There was no dragging-your-heels in the descriptions and dialogue of this story. It was even paced and enjoyable to read.

... I highly recommend this book, it's a page-turner! I couldn't put it down!

One star is way too generous for this. Desperado (come on, Desperado?) is a chauvinist pig with no class, intellect, or respect for anyone and Chole is a complete twit who does little more than droll over said pig for the length of the book. Combine that with a complete lack of plot, and this is quite possibly the worst book I've ever read. Save your money for anything by Lorraine Heath, Kathleen Kane, Maggie Osborne, or Susan Kay Law. This one isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
