Summary: Trailboss
Review: I am an avid reader, although not much of what I read is Western Romance. This book is one that has changed my outlook on what I read. I couldn't put this book down until every page was read.

Summary: Cattleman falls for Shepardess
Review: Mix a shotgun tootin' young female sheep rancher, a sympathetic, cattle driving trailboss and a wolf-dog named "Sweetie Pie" together. Add author Elizabeth Butler and set yourself down to an enjoyable, shoot-um-up Western Romance.

Set in Buffalo Wyoming in the winter of 1891, Butler takes you back to the cattle rustling days of the northwest. Tensions are high as large cattle ranchers look to small sheep ranchers for blame. After suffering the loss of her entire family, Susannah Bidwell was determined to defend what was hers. When Ned Parker, a cattle driver and friend of Susannah's late grandmother, rides out of his way to deliver the sad news of her death and the unexpected information about her inheritance, bullets fly. Skeptical of this stranger, Susannah eventually agrees to listen to Ned and accept his offer of help. Violence continues as the cattle ranchers try to force Susannah from her land.

Unwanted feelings begin to grow between the independent shepherdess and the trailboss as they join forces to save the ranch. Blend in Harley, a neighboring sheep rancher who's in love with Susannah to add just a touch of jealousy to cause Ned a bit of confusion and drive his need to protect this spitfire.

Butler stirs the reader's emotions as "Sweetie Pie" gets shot coming to her rescue.

"Suddenly, reality returned. Sweetie Pie? She looked away from Ned to the dog lying motionless on the patch of grass where she'd left her. Crawling over to her, she laid her head against the matted fur and let the tears fall. She hadn't cried for her family members, for Lucky or Lucio Gonzales, but she did for Sweetie Pie."

Butler blends a sweet touch of romance with an engaging plot. A must read for those who enjoy a good ol' time western.
