Dear Reader,I never enjoyed being a wanted man until the day Miss Esmerelda Fine marched into the Tumbleweed Saloon and pointed her derringer straight at my heart. Who would have guessed some duke's granddaughter--an awfully pretty one at that--would come gunning for the likes of me, a notorious bounty hunter with a taste for whiskey and a fondness for peach pie? Lucky for me, she was a mighty poor shot. Instead of killing me, she hired me to find her runaway brother. Little did she know she was about to make the acquaintance of a flea-bitten basset hound named Sadie, the infamous Darling Gang, and my shotgun-toting kinfolk. And little did I know she was about to lead me on a merry chase that would take us from a bungled bank robbery to the very first Wild West show to tour London, England. I should have turned down her offer. I should have resisted her charms. But I didn't. Because there comes a time in every man's life when he's got nothing left to lose...but his heart.Yours,Billy Darling

4.5 starsI’m not what you would consider a Western fan, so I use that as the reason it took me so long to finally get around to reading this book. Nobody’s Darling tells the story of Esmerelda Fine who travels out West to find the man who killed her brother: Billy Darling. She finds him in Calamity,...
My review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book. This one's got 3 parts.*sigh* is all I can say or do about this book, one of the few westerns I've read. Beautiful in one word! :)When I heard it's an western, I immediately thought I'd read "Yours Until Dawn" befor...
LOVE IT.This was an enjoyable read, it’s been a while since I read a book set in the West, it was a good change from the Highland romances.
