Reviews

[Steven Allen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fairly decent book in this adult Western series. Most of this book is Longarm chasing a runaway bride all over the place. Decent action, but it does not take long to figure that things are not as they appear. Longarm sleeps with a virgin in this one, something that he rarely does throughout the series.
