Last Ride: Western Historical Fiction (The Bounty Hunter Book 1) Reviews
-
This story has no romance, (which is far from my normal genre), but this IS a story filled with passion for justice. The different people whose lives are woven together because of hatred and justice tell a comandeering story of a dying ex bounty hunter and two grown but orphaned young adults who are seeking revenge. The story really pulls you in, even though the bloody gore is described, as well as the vileness of mankind. As a listener you want to see justice prevail and those that suffered to have safety from the evil they find themselves surrounded with. There is a thread of faith in God, but it's not a major part, unfortunately. I would have liked to see someone redeemed!
The narration was really good! I liked his gravelly voice! His female characters didn't sound all fake either. -
Hard vengeance in the old west
A tough young woman seeks revenge on those who killed her aunt and uncle. Joining with an old sick bounty hunter and a reckless orphan teen they pursue justice and money from those who are responsible. -
Good read
I enjoyed this book as it showed a young woman who adapted to her new environment readily. Some unexpected twists held my attention . I look forward to volume 2. -
Great Read!
I don't honestly recall ever reading a western, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! I found that the action flowed and liked the writing style. Thank you. -
I seldom read a western; this one was well-written and enjoyable.

Last Ride is a good western for a change of pace and cleanses the palette. Colton Emory who, returning home one day, found his wife Martha brutally beaten, stabbed, and her throat cut. Who or why was a complete mystery to Colton. In desperation Colton posts a rather large bounty for the capture of the guilty party(s) dead or alive. This brings in bounty hunters from all over. The bigger issue is that the culprit happens to be the son of a big rancher and land owner who pretty much also owns the town. As the bounty hunters roll in they are identified by the rancher’s hands and sent packing. On the other side of town a father and mother are gunned down in front of the daughter who manages to escape. The daughter flees to a friend of her father who used to be a bounty hunter. Ex-bounty hunter is also in need of money to save his farm. See where this is going? This is a good story of revenge and survival. The characters are well-developed and the action is pretty good once all parties get together.

One of his fun reads, still some typos and less than his earlier books.
