Wyoming Wild ~ Review

Wyoming Wild

By Sarah M. Eden

Liesl Hodges had tried her best to protect the citizens of Sand Creek from her father's murderous violence. But she can only do so much before his anger is turned toward her. But when she overhears him plotting to kill a respected US Marshal, she has no choice but to send out a warning.

When John Hawking receives an anonymous warning that his life is in danger, he has no choice but to investigate. Sand Creek seems peaceful enough, but once you look beneath the surface, everything isn't as it first appears. But finding the source of his warning may take more effort than Hawk first anticipated, but he hopes that Sheriff Hodges's daughter may help him find the answers he seeks.

When Hawk learns the truth about his warning, he discovers that stopping the injustice and evil that have made a home in Sand Creek just might be his hardest case ever because his stone-cold heart is involved.

Wyoming Wild is a delightful visit to 1876's Wyoming Territory. This book is a Western Proper Romance, and it is an excellent addition to the Proper Romance series. Liesl and Hawk are well-suited in their attempt to stop injustice and protect those under their care. Both have trouble with not acting, but this is one time when time and planning can't be rushed, not if they hope to stop the man who is plotting to end their lives.

As this is a Proper Romance, you are assured of a sweet romance that is most definitely in the Clean Romance zone. There is a bit of a mystery as to who is involved in what is happening in Sand Creek, but the main focus is on Hawk and Liesl and their connection. But can a young woman with every reason to distrust lawmen and a lawman who has hardened his heart have a chance at a happily ever after? If you are a fan of Sarah M. Eden's work you'll enjoy this newest offering. Or if you've never read her before, this is an excellent one to start with.  

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I give my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

Hearts collide when a sheriff’s daughter asks a hardened US Marshal

to join her fight for justice and rid a small town of her corrupt father.

Wyoming Territory, 1876

US Marshal John “Hawk” Hawking is one of the most respected lawmen in the West, so when a telegram arrives from the small town of Sand Creek warning him of a death threat against him, he immediately begins an investigation.

Posing as a farmer, Hawk heads to Sand Creek, a town ruled by a violent and corrupt sheriff. Only one person is trying to stop him—Liesl, the sheriff’s own daughter. When she meets the self-assured and attractive new farmer, John, she hopes he might help her in the fight for justice.

John is completely unfazed by Sheriff Hodges’s attempts at intimidation, and Liesl is quickly swept up by Hawk’s courage and integrity. Just as quickly, Hawk finds himself falling for Liesl’s strength and bravery, as well as her grace and beauty.

When Liesl discovers John’s true identity, she feels betrayed. Despite her lingering distrust of him, Liesl agrees to work with him to enact a dangerous plan that will put the criminals away forever. Liesl must put her life, and her heart, in the hands of this lawman if she has any hope of saving her family and her town.
