Book Overview

Named Best New Western Author by True West Magazine. It takes more than a badge to keep the peace in a lawless hellhole like Ring Bit, Texas. It takes guts, grit, gunslinging--and one hell of a woman . . . MEET TENNESSEE SMITH: SHE SHOOTS FROM THE HIP. There aren't many options for an eighteen-year-old girl in the Old West. Especially an orphan like Tennessee Smith. She can either sell her body in a seedy saloon or take her chances as a mail-order bride. Tennie chooses the latter. Joining a wagonload of women across Indian territory, she arrives in the God-forsaken town of Ring Bit, Texas. Her husband-to-be is surprisingly decent. But after tying the knot in a quickie ceremony, he pops even more surprises on her. First, he introduces Tennie to his three young sons. Then he drops dead on their wedding night . . . Some women would hightail it out of there. Not Tennie. She'll do whatever it takes to save the ranch and raise those boys. Rusty is thirteen, Lucas is ten, and Badger is six. They need a mother. Tennie needs a job. And the town needs a marshal. Sure, the local gamblers, outlaws, and thieves have no use for the law. Then again, they never met a lawman, or woman, like Tennessee Smith . . .

Outstanding

Outstanding story. Had action in addition to humorous lines. Couldn't put this book down by Easy Jackson. The second book on Tennessee Smith is even better. Jackson's stories show lots of action and when you are all tensed up he throws in some great lines making one laugh. "A Season in Hell" is also well worth reading. I highly recommend if you enjoy westerns, a great story and a good few laughs, you can't go wrong in purchasing these books and reading them. You won't be disappointed!!
