You can't go wrong with this first book in Lyle Brandt's Western series! The Lawman hooked me from the start with its great prose and easy-to-read style. The characters are enjoyable and easy to keep track of, and the story is packed with just enough action and emotion to keep you turning the pages. I'm a big fan and will definitely be reading more from Brandt.

The book was very good, but I didn't like how it ended. The man risks his life to avenge his fiances attack and near death and then she leaves him because she's scared she could be attacked again. I think if she wanted to leave she should have gone with him not leave him after how he was so brave for her sake.

This is the 1st western I have read and I found it to be very predictable. I enjoyed the story about twins and redemption but it couldn't hold my attention very well. I will try another book and a different author before I determine if this genre is for me or not.
