Hired Gun

Trent Marshall is a gun for hire. Trent's just finished his last job, which was to find and kill the outlaw Matt Sykes. Now he plans to take a break. Faith Ryan is attending the town social when she is paired with Trent while dancing. Trent and Faith are attracted to each other, but before she can find out more about him, Trent leaves. Faith's brother, Mason, and sister ,Abbie, are attacked by renegade Apache warriors and her sister ends up captured. Faith becomes reacquainted with Trent again when she hires him to track her sister down. During the long and arduous journey to try and save Abbie, Trent and Faith grow closer while Abbie struggles to endure her brutality as a captive, and all the while a threat lurks. Someone seeks revenge for Matt Sykes death. Faith and Trent make a great match in Hired Gun. Faith is a strong woman with a big heart. Trent is a tough and handsome man. Abbie's ordeal is nerve racking, but she handles herself well. I particularly enjoyed how the story pans back and forth between several different characters. Bobbi Smith's Hired Gun is a well-written story filled with romance and excitement. Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

This was an excellent story in and of itself, but as a series it was wonderful. The story and people are great! Read all 4 books in 2 days. Could not put them down. I am becomeing an avid fan of O'Banyon's western historical romances! Cannot wait to see what comes out next!

I gave the book four stars only for the fact that Bobbi Smith wrote the book. I wasn't that pleased with this one. I have read many other books written by her and they were far better than this one. It had a good story line, and I liked the two main charactors Faith and Trent. I also liked that there was more than one romance in the book. I also felt that there were details missing or something. It was good, but not one I would read again.

I love this book! The action started on page 1 and didn't end until the end. I always know if I buy a Bobbi Smith book it will be a page turned. Thank you, Ms. Smith, for another walk into the West.

In the Arizona Territory, Apache marauders kidnap a young girl. Although there is little hope to get the Ryan child back alive, the family hires the best, Trent Marshal, a loner with extraordinary hunting skills for two footed predators. However, before he can get on the trail, the victim's older sister Faith demands she accompany him on his quest. He tells her no, but she vows to follow him. Rather than waste time he agrees, but warns her to keep up or he will leave behind regardless of where they are. On the trail Trent finds the woman can keep up with him, but also is a distraction as he realizes he desires her. Still though he enjoys the taste of Faith's lips, he controls his passion because her sister comes first with the promise of rewards when they succeed in the rescue. However, as they continue to search for her sibling, he fears they have no future because he has so many enemies wanting him dead who are willing to kill anyone he cares about. This reconstruction western romance is an interesting tale starring a loner, who lives by his guns and the woman who has him doubting his lifestyle. Though the plot focuses on the rescue mission, the lead duo makes it fun as he goes from resentment to desire while she goes from scorn to desire. The story line is action-packed as Bobbi Smith once again brings home the danger of the 1870s in the Southwest. Harriet Klausner
