I just finished an a fun new book and newest proper romance from Shadow Mountain called The Sheriffs of Savage Wells by Sarah M. Eden. I have reviewed a few of Sarah Edens books and this was my favorite!
The Sheriffs of Savage Wells by Sarah M. Eden (A Proper Romance)
Synopsis: Paisley Bell knows the eccentric people of Savage Wells. From the absentminded shopkeeper who always thinks she’s been robbed to the young man who has returned shell-shocked from the war, Paisley has compassion for them all. When the sheriff up and leaves town, Paisley steps up and assumes the responsibility, partly because she loves the work, but also because she needs the income to take care of her sick father. So when the town council decides that the position of sheriff should really go to a man, Paisley finds herself fighting to prove that she’s the perfect candidate for the job, even though she wears a skirt.
Cade O’Brien is heartily sick of shooting people. In his many years as a lawman, Cade has seen his share of blood and violence. So when he answers an advertisement for a sheriff job in the sleepy town of Savage Wells, he believes he’s found the peace and quiet he’s always desired. But when he discovers that his biggest competition for the job is a woman, he begins to question his decisions.
My Review: Usually when I think of proper romances I think of England, Dukes, Ladies taking their Season in London and all that which I love but have read a lot of lately. This book, The Sheriff’s of Savage Wells is not like that at all! It is set in Wyoming in the late 1800’s. With cowboys, guns, people that worked hard for so little, small towns, bank robberies, and so much more! This was such a fun read and I love how Sarah writes with such vivid descriptions, but not to lengthy. She includes wonderful characters who I feel like I know by the end of the book. I love some and hate some. Each person in the book plays an important role in the town, just like most small towns. It reminded me of the small town that we used to live in. You get to know everyone because of their quirky ways or the large role they play in the community to make it better! This is one book I am sure you will all love. With a few twists in the story that catch me off guard it is a great story of love, hard work and devotion!
