Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Wyoming Territory, 1876. US Marshal John “Hawk” Hawking is one of the most respected lawmen in the West, so when a telegram arrives from the small town of Sand Creek warning him of a death threat against him, he immediately begins an investigation. Posing as a farmer, Hawk heads to Sand Creek, a town ruled by a violent and corrupt sheriff. Only one person is trying to stop him—Liesl, the sheriff’s own daughter. When she meets the self-assured and attractive new farmer, John, she hopes he might help her in the fight for justice.

John is completely unfazed by Sheriff Hodges’s attempts at intimidation, and Liesl is quickly swept up by Hawk’s courage and integrity. Just as quickly, Hawk finds himself falling for Liesl’s strength and bravery, as well as her grace and beauty. When Liesl discovers John’s true identity, she feels betrayed. Despite her lingering distrust of him, Liesl agrees to work with him to enact a dangerous plan that will put the criminals away forever. Liesl must put her life, and her heart, in the hands of his lawman if she has any hope of saving her family and her town.


My Review:
Wyoming Wild is a romance set in 1876 in Wyoming Territory. Characters from a previous novel are in this story, but you don't need to read that book to understand this one. Historical details were woven into the story, but they're mostly a Western backdrop to the action. The main characters were engaging and likable.

Liesl bravely worked behind the scenes to help protect the people of her town from her corrupt father, risking a beating or even being killed like her brother. After overcoming her distrust of lawmen (as having a corrupt sheriff for your father didn't help when the rescuing US Marshals started things off by deceiving everyone), Liesl agreed to testify against her father, help identify who was in his group of criminals, and help get proof of their wrongdoings. Hawk's known as not letting his emotions get in the way of doing his job, and he's determine to make Wyoming a safe, orderly territory. Liesl brought out his softer side, but he felt like he's got to be unfeeling and single to do his job well. As this is a romance, she obviously changes his mind with her lively banter and courage.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd highly recommend this novel.
