5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY ANOTHER 5 STAR PLUS -- EXCELLENT, November 15, 2003

This review is from: Gunslinger (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Marcus Hale, editor of The Glory Gazette and Mayor Lemuel Porter, also banker, traveled from Kansas to the far mountain top to route out The Gunslinger, Tom Bolt.

But was this because they needed him to save their town? Depends on how you look at it.
They caught Tom when he thought he would go crazy with just a dog to talk to. Thirty nine year old Tom wanted a house. A home.

The mayer knew just who he could put the pressure onto to take in The Gunslinger. The widow Briggs.

When the tall, dark stranger arrived in Glory, Kansas he caused quite a stir. Sixteen year old, Billy Dakin developed quite a hero crush on Tom and started to pack a gun.

The redheaded Nettie Fisk claimed to know Tom but couldn't entice him up to her room at Bird's bordello. The widow, Zena Briggs soon learned that Nettie was trying to catch Tom's attention. She did the laundry for the bordello.

Zena thought it was uncivilized that Tom would not name his dog and thereafter she spent some time trying to think of a name for the black and white silky haired mongrel.

Ah, but Tom and Zena's first kisses set the tone for a wonderful romance between the upright but troubled widow and the heart sick, weary gunman. [wonderful cover]

M. McBride gives us a wonderful tale of the cross-purposes of denied love on the frontier and a great solution to our hero and his lady. A fabulous read - heart warming, wonderful emotions betrayed by two loving characters with a great supporting cast.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED [with a little extra loving thrown in]but our heros can't be denied.

5.0 out of 5 stars DANGEROUS TO LOVE SERIES BOOK DESCRIPTION, October 29, 2002

BOUND FOR GLORY
Tom Bolt was infamous - the Fastest Gun in the West - if the dime novels were to be believed. And thanks to the town fathers of Glory, Kansas, he was now not only the new sheriff, but a paying guest in Zena Briggs's home!

It had been a long time since the black-garbed gunslinger had anything worth living for. But the young Widow Briggs was an angel who had offered him a haven in her home and in her heart. A heart he knew he'd break when the time came for him to leave...
