Stained by his wastrel father's legacy, Jackson Spivey lives on the fringes of society. Townsfolk tolerate him since he keeps the local hotel supplied with fresh game, but mothers coach their daughters to avoid him. After tasting consistent rejection, Jackson spurns all attempts at courtship. The only things he can count on are his guns and his God.
Tessa James has been secretly in love with Jackson for ages, but trying to gain his favor only pushes him further away. When she learns Annie Oakley is traveling through Texas, Tessa seeks lessons from the famed markswoman. If Jackson's life revolves around guns, taking up shooting might help her engage his interest. Too bad she can't hit the broad side of a barn.
When Annie loans Tessa a custom pistol, however, things begin to change. The lore behind the mysterious weapon fosters hope that Tessa might finally hit the target of Jackson's heart. But when danger threatens, she might be forced to use the pistol for something other than finding love.
My thoughts:
Delightful characters, a refreshing
storyline and the wonderful writing made this novella a joy to read. This is unlike anything I have read before, Annie
Oakley, pink pearl handled pistols, and a young woman who is determined to get
the attention of the man she has set her sights on.
There is humor generously sprinkled
throughout as Tessa proves to Jackson that they are in fact well suited for
each other. I absolutely adored this
clean, sweet novella by Ms. Witemeyer and love that it’s suitable for the young
reader to the young at heart reader. I look forward to the next book in the
Pink Pistol Sisterhood series.
I voluntarily reviewed a
complimentary copy. All opinions are my
own.
