The Cactus Creek Challenge

4.25 stars
So...this book was a hoot! I picked it up based on someone else's five-star recommendation and am so glad I did. It's a great spin on a Western, and showed women being “tough” without being unwomanly, which feels accurate for the era this is set in. While I have a few gripes about plot points (romances happening a little fast), it is an action story and not an introspective-type fiction anyway. It's squeaky-clean, except for a few kisses and some mild violence, so would be suitable for nearly all ages. And the humor is hilarious! Definitely recommended.
