Lawless by Nora Roberts

4.0

One of only three historical romances written by Nora, Lawless tells the story of Sarah Conway, who is traveling to the frontier town of Lone Bluff in Arizona Territory to reunite with her father when her carriage is attacked by Indians. Jake Redman, reluctant gunslinger, saves the day and escorts the carriage to town. Once Sarah arrives she learns that her father recently passed away but she is still determined to stay and see the life her father was building for her. Jake takes her to her father's claim and Sarah realizes that all of Matt Conway's letters detailing his successes out west were fabrications. Jake thinks the proper and pampered Sarah won't last a single night on the rustic land but Sarah surprises him with her grit and determination. When it is uncovered that Matt was murdered, Jake and Sarah team up to uncover the mystery surrounding Matt's death. If you like a good western romance look no further! This book has Nora's wonderful description of place and two wonderful characters who sizzle on the page. To hear a full discussion of Lawless listen to Season 2, Ep. #12 "Nora Roberts: Loving Jack Series" of Romancing the Shelf, a Nora Roberts podcast: https://romancingtheshelf.libsyn.com/
