Synopsis

Here come the brides. And the bullets . . .

Bo Creel and Scratch Morton are lifelong drifters who keep one eye on the horizon, one finger on the trigger, and one foot out the door. Roaming the West is what keeps them young, or so Scratch tells Bo. But when they save the life of Cyrus Keegan—the owner of a matrimonial agency—they receive an unexpected proposal that's hard to resist. Keegan needs to deliver five mail order brides to a mining town in New Mexico Territory. All Scratch and Bo have to do is get these gals to the church on time—and alive, if possible . . .

The job seems easy enough—and the brides-to-be are even easier on the eyes. Cecilia, Beth, Luella, Rose, and Jean all need good husbands. But their prospects look bad when the journey to the altar includes Mexican banditos, scheming silver robbers, and one overbearing rancher who won't take no for an answer. Bo and Scratch promised to keep the ladies safe—and keep their hands to themselves—but it could be the last vow they'll ever make . . .

It was a long time since I last read anything with Creel and Morton but it still works. This is one really entertaining western. The plot with the brides is unusual and well played. The "boys" still got it and it is everything a good western should be. Thanks to #Netgalley and #KensingtonBooks for l......more

Goodreads review by Brad on July 15, 2022

This was a fun read. The many characters are well differentiated and the protagonists Bo and Scratch are very likable. The plot is engaging. It drags a bit toward the middle but picks up again. The end is a mite anemic—What happens to Miss Hampshire?—but I guess that is picked up in book #2 of the H......more
