Gambling on the Outlaw Margaret Madigan

[Birdlady1950]

Western Romance

Beth Caldwell is the widow of a gambling man; she was always at his side except for the day he died. Widowed, serving as a lowly paid midwife, Beth Caldwell has problems of major proportions. She lives on her small ranch with a cast of women misfits, the neighboring very rich rancher, Clay Dearborn, wants to marry her for her land and doesn't want the misfits; a gambling friend is holding a $5,000.00 marker of her husbands and wants his money, and to just finish off a really bad day, she finds a cowboy, Issac Collins, hiding in her barn and she has an immediate attraction to him. When he returns wounded, what could she do but tend to his wounds. Issac is a good man who is framed for murder by Clay Dearborn and he wants revenge. He does all he can to discourage Beth's love but it is a force of nature and can not be tamed. What follows is a frolicking western full of villains, outlaws, murderers, revenge, lawlessness, good versus evil, and hot hot love. The love scene scorch the pages. Ms. Madigan has created a hero to die for and heroine that is strong-willed and strong-minded. The story moves along well as we watch good conquer evil and love bloom in the old west. I hope each of Beth's misfits has a book in the making by Ms. Madigan, I cant wait to read the next one.

I recommend this book to western romance lovers and due to the sexual situations for young adult to adult.

I received this book from the publisher and Netgalley in return for an honest review.
