Book Description from Goodreads:
Can the shy gunsmith and the widowed storekeeper find love when everything around them is in an uproar? Hiram Dooley has problems—women problems! His sister’s about to leave him to get married (if Sheriff Ethan Chapman ever proposes); his sister-in-law, Rose, thinks Hiram should marry her, since they’re both widowed; and the woman he truly loves, Libby Adams, is blind to his regard. The schoolmarm has a different problem—a man claiming to be her uncle came to Fergus...and then disappeared. Did her father kill him? Can the Ladies’ Shooting Club once again ride to the rescue?


My Review:
The Gunsmith's Gallantry is a humorous Christian romance (with a mystery) set in 1886 in Idaho. This is the second book in a series, but you can understand what's going on without reading the first book. The main events in the first book were not spoiled in this one. Some new men in town are causing trouble, and the town's biggest land owner is having money problems. The women of the Shooting Club work to find out what's going on and keep the town safe from the troublemakers.

The women were capable, interesting characters that supported each other despite their many differences. The light humor came from these differences, a marriage-minded widow, and other amusing situations. Libby and Hiram admired each other's character and finally felt ready to move on after grieving the death of their spouses. Hiram, Ethan, and Gert also worked together to solve the mystery, though Ethan needed some additional prompting about proposing marriage.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I recommend this enjoyable novel.
