The Sheriffs of Savage Wells

The Sheriffs of Savage Wells is written by Sarah Eden.  I have loved every book from Sarah that is set in England; however, these western books did not disappoint!

Paisley Bell has been filling in for the "out of pocket" sheriff in the town of Savage Wells.  Now that the town is looking to fill the spot with a new sheriff, Paisley has thrown her name into the pot.  You will soon see that Paisley is going up against a strong group of men for this position!

Cade O'Brien, who has a well-known reputation as being a tough sheriff, is Paisley's most serious competitor.  It is fun to see how these two interact on the pages of this book!

Along the way, you will meet many of the quirky characters in this town and you will come to love each and every on of them.  Throw a bank robbery into the mix and you find that you have a tale full of more action the you would have guessed!

This is a book not to be missed!
