Summary: a humerous wstern romance
Review: In 1875 Tyler, Texas, Sheriff Hutton lectures Lee Jamison, owner of the Double J spread, after the latest prank performed by the rancher's daughter Jasmine. The sheriff recommends Lee find a husband for his rascally daughter after "escorting" her home for the third time this year. A disgusted but loving Lee gives his twenty-four-year-old child an ultimatum. She is to find a husband within a month or he will ship her east to a finishing school.

Jasmine selects as her target drifter Brody McClintock, a man allegedly good with a gun and an outlaw to boot . She knows for certain that Brody will desert her rather rapidly, but she will have fulfilled her father's demand. However, Brody is actually an undercover Texas Ranger who never expected a shotgun wedding just because some weird lady tricked him into a night of intimacy. To Jasmine's chagrin, Brody is an honorable person who refuses to leave. Soon the couple falls in love, but each hides a secret from the other. Without trust, they could ruin their relationship.

AN UNLIKELY OUTLAW is a humorous western romance that will entertain sub-genre fans. Brody is a classic Ranger whose sense of loyalty, bravery, passion, and honor will garner much affection from the reader. Jasmine provides much of the jocularity to the story line. However, much of what she finds amusing seems more like teenage stunts that the merry pranksters would probably have rejected as too childish. Still, she adds a feminist strength and guts not often seen in the daily living of a historical female character. Rebecca Wade provides a strong debut that will entice fans to want

Summary: Contrasts in Characters
Review: The strength of An Unlikely Outlaw are the contrasts among the four main characters, Jasmine, Brody, Lee, and Emma. Each interested me individually, but their differences strengthened the story. Since Lee and Emma had lived more of life, they had perspective to Brody and Jasmine's inexperience and impulsiveness. That made the story realistic for me.
