Jenny Bolton has plans, and they don't bode well for Steve Dancy. Married at 15 to a Nevada politician, Jenny suffered repeated assaults, witnessed her husband's ghastly murder, buried her mother-in-law, and killed a man.

Despite her triumphs, she feels she never should have been left alone.

Story4 out of 5 stars 3
Marshal John Beck was the law in the dangerous town of Mother Lode, Arizona. On his own, he'd managed to keep bandits, rustlers, and desperados at bay. It was a tough job for one man to handle, but he made it work...until the day Bram Hogan and his Brickhouse Gang got the drop on the lawman. They beat Beck to within an inch of his life and dropped him in the desert, where nothing but a slow, painful death awaited him. But the gang underestimated Beck. Even at his lowest point, he found a way to survive.

The cattle town of Chugwater may not look like much to outsiders. But for Duff MacCallister and the determined settlers who've staked their futures here, it's a land of opportunity. Young railroad developer Jacob Freemantle wants to run a rail line through Chugwater, making it easier to transport cattle. Everyone is on board with the plan - at first.

Things only get worse when Freemantle's hired guns show up - and the violence really begins.

He came west to the Rockies as a young runaway and grew into a legend among the already legendary frontier mountain men. They called him Preacher - a name that would become a monument to all who sought adventure in the savage wilderness of America's untamed west. The only man with the skills to lead a wagon train on the last leg of the rugged Oregon trail, Preacher knows they're headed into trouble. It's hard enough for a hundred greenhorns to survive the wilds of the northwest; being pursued by thieving renegade outlaws and Indians with a thirst for gold makes it damn near impossible.

Enjoyed the story.
We have not listened to the other books in this series. This is a good story by itself. I would listen to the other books in the series. A good story that happens to take place when electricity was just being introduced. There is some romance, some fighting, and more. I am not sure I would call it a western, just a good story set during the settling of the United States. The narration was very good. It was easy to listen to Paul Manelis read this story. I would listen to other stories that he narrates.

A western of higher learning!
We are treated to a “western of higher learning”. In this series, our protagonist Steve Dancy appears to be a wealthy, educated, business-oriented city slicker, who happens to wield a six-gun as well. His sidekick, Sharp is a no-nonsense, burly man who loves a good bare-knuckle brawl. Sharp is also wealthy, having made his fortune in the mining business, whereas Dancy’s wealth is inherited. This is my first Steve Dancy book and it presents a bit of a conundrum for me. This is not the usual western I’ve become accustomed to. The plot is more business oriented with a bit of politics thrown in. Dancy is not your run-of-the-mill cowboy or gunfighter either. This is not to say the story is bad, not at all; it’s just different. Three.point.five for a different spin of the cylinder. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.
