The Saloon Girl's Only Shot
A Quail's Creek Romance #2
Dani Collins
If you love a wild west story then this one is the one to pick up, I loved the first one in the series and this one is just as good, this is Owen’s story who I loved in the first book and Temperance Goodrich who has arrived in Denver on her own after her father fell ill, they are here to take up an offer to write a proposal for the gold mining company but now she is alone in a lawless community where there is a shortage of woman.
Temperance is a teacher but scandal follows her and now in need of a job the only one she can get is as a salon girl which leaves her reputation in ruins, when she meets Owen Stames and the pull is instant and when he rescues her they are soon friends.
Owen, now has enough money from gold to do what he has always wanted and that is to open his own saloon for his future when he meets the beautiful Temperance he knows that she is the one to help with his plans and work for him, he has no intentions of marrying like is friend Virgil but soon when the odds are stacked against him opening and Temperance is doing the best to keep everything going he is slowly opening his heart to her.
Temperance wants love but as she gets to know Owen more she realises that he is not that person but she cannot help the way her heart goes, they are spending so much time together and there is a lot of talk around town that paints her a terrible woman, she has made great friends in two other salon girls Jane and Mavis and she is also starting her own company helping people with their bookwork and moves out from the saloon.
When Temperance arrives at the right time to stop a robbery and save Owen they both understand that it is time that they went with their hearts. This is a witty, fun and sensual story that I do highly recommend and I am hoping that we see more in this series there are some fabulous characters that need their own story.
My thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.
