Gunslinger for Hire

I’m enjoying my time in Wylder and this book was another stop in this great town. Visiting the Wyoming Territory in the 1870’s is quite the challenge to be sure. There are all these rules of propriety. A woman can’t be seen around town with a man unless he’s properly courting her. Or so claims Cissy’s boss at the boarding house.

Cissy has been sent west by family she trusted but eventually she’ll see that trust was misplaced. She toils away at the local boarding house but it’s not until a stranger comes to stay that she notices life passing her by. Buck Standish works security at the bank. The bank that has been robbed several times. Most of the town doesn’t know Buck has a past as a gunslinger. He’s trying to go legit – especially when he meets Cissy and can see himself settling down.

But one’s past has a way of catching up and soon it’s clear Buck hasn’t been able to outrun his reputation. So can he fight one last fight or will it cost him everything? Seeing as this is a romance, I’ll say I got my happy ending.

I’m happy that Dawson McBride is narrating the entire series. I like his narration style and his deep voice suits the time period. Another fun audio to listen to.

Wylder West Fun!

I previously read this story but listening is indeed a rare treat! If you are not following The Wylder West series from The Wild Rose Press...you are missing out on a fasting series....kudos to Laura Strickland for this wonderful story. A must read author for me from now on!

Take a Wylder walk into the Old West!

Another exciting adventure in the Wylder West. There are many dangers in old west. Buck is a gunslinger who wants to retire his reputation. He is the type of man most women would love to have in their lives. He is strong, passionate, loving, and a defender. Sissy demonstrates many of these same characteristics. She is rebellious of the way she and her brother are unlovingly treated by her guardians after their parents' death. I enjoyed how the author developed their love from their unexpected meeting to the safety concerns and then their final decision.

Dawson McBride has a smooth and powerful voice. He brings the listener right into the heart of the West. He gives the characters distinctive voices and makes the listener feel the emotions of these characters. I love listening to him. I highly recommend this Audible book for your listening pleasure.

Wylder is home

When she rushes to get rid of the dish water, she throws it on non other than Buck Standish. Trying to escape his notorious reputation for gun slinging, Buck is the new security in town and looking for a place to stay. And our meet cute brings on a wonderful budding romance! I love Cissy! She has a good heart, is worried for her brother and knows good people from bad. Buck is that strong, protective man we all want to have around us. You can feel his warmth every time he speaks to Cissy. And there are those characters we love to hate! Life in Colorado may not be easy, but these characters make the time I spend there worth it! Laura Strickland's A Walk on the Wylder Side is a great addition to this series.

I cannot say enough good things about the narration of this series. Dawson McBride is fantastic. He has a warmth in his tone that comes through and it pulls me in every time. Perfect for the old west, he nails Buck and easily falls into Cissy making it easy to know who is speaking. I can't wait for more of this series!
