The Laws of Attraction

The saga of the Deadeye Gang continues in this second book of the series, and this time there's a witness. One man, shot several times, has against odds lived long enough to get to the doctor. He's too critically injured to be of much help, but he does give them several clues. However, that only stirs a hornet's nest, and Nell is right in the middle of it. Not only Nell, either–handsome homesteader Brand Nolte and his three daughters are mixed up too. Of course, Nell's not looking to remarry after a bad marriage; but it does make sense for them to stick together for this–right? And she can enjoy herself making dresses for the girls in the meantime.

I liked this story better than the first book and really enjoyed seeing Brand's daughters bond so easily with Nell. Brand was a very layered character himself, and I enjoyed spending page-time with him also. He's quiet but very ready to stand up to protect his friends and family.
