Review

If there's one thing US Marshall Morgan Slater can't stand, it's medicine shows. Taking the hard earned money from people for worthless medicine was just short of criminal in his book, so Morgan didn't hesitate to run the latest one out of town. On the trail of the Doolittle gang, Morgan followed the show out of town to be sure it didn't come back in his absence. However, when they got stuck in the mud...Mariah Penny took great pride in her medicines. Made from natural ingredients, she made certain her potions worked in most cases before she offered them to the public. Together with her mother and father, and a little help from an Indian Princess costume, Mariah was making something of the family's show. That was until Marshall Morgan Slater ran them out of town and their wagon got stuck in the mud...So, the wagon gets stuck in the mud, Morgan gets hurt, looses his memory, and wakes to find he is Mariah's cousin and actually part of the show! But the trouble really begins when Morgan starts to have sexual feelings toward Mariah which he believes is his cousin, and she is attracted to him, but unable to reveal the fact that he is not her cousin! Meanwhile, the Doolittle gang are still at large, the couple unknowingly befriend one of them, and Morgan's memory is coming back! Oh, what a tangled web Sharon weaves!Ms. Ihle has the perfect cure for the common cold - a hot and steamy read! This is one love potion that doesn't come in a bottle! A cure-all read! Ms. Ihle takes a unique look into an often overlooked corner of our wild west history, and brings it to life with a flourish all her own! -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.

No wonder this book has won so many awards, especially Romantic Times' prestigious Best Western Romance of the year. The Law and Miss Penny is filled with twists and turns, laugh out loud humour, and a love that will not be denied. Brava! Mrs. Ihle

This western frolic kept me giggling as Mariah Penny and Morgan Slater, two
very unlikely lovers, learn how much they really do have in common. Mixing
humor and adventure Sharon Ihle's tale of the west is a delightful detour
into romance. Great fun!
This is the first book of Ihle's I have read, and I enjoyed it so much, have started to work my way through her collection. A great find !!!

4.0 out of 5 stars funny twist on memory issues!, October 5, 2011

This review is from: The Law and Miss Penny (Kindle Edition)

I usually avoid 'amnesia' books like the plague, but boy am I glad that I ignored my instincts and downloaded a copy of The Law & Miss Penny. In this case, the amnesia rang true, even as the hero slowly regained his memory. The antics between him and the heroine were often quite funny, while the gang chasing them made for delicious moments of intrigue. I really liked, and whole-heartedly recommend this book.
