The Gunslinger's Guide To Avoiding Matrimony by Michelle McLean

 

At the ripe old age of twenty-eight, desperate-to-retire gunslinger Adam Brady has exactly two rules. And one of them is never, ever get married. So he’ll be danged when his dreams of permanently avoiding the bounty hunter on his tail in Desolation, the only town where notorious men like him can find respite, comes with one helluva string attached. The town has a new rule: gunslingers welcome—if they get a job…or marry.

Without realizing it, Adam stumbles into a big town wedding and accidentally marries Nora Schumacher, a sassy-mouthed mountain of a woman with legs as long as his wanted poster. So what’s a gunslinger to do but get himself unhitched and find a job. Any job. Except Adam keeps getting fired, one odd circumstance after another. And he’s running out of options.

Desolation was supposed to be his safe haven. Except, he’s not only running from his past but from the irresistible woman he married. And worse, he’s finding that he rather likes the enticing, if damnably independent, wife of his. But some men just aren’t the marrying kind. Only, if he leaves, his own life won’t be worth living. If he stays, he puts the lives of his newfound family and the woman he loves on the line. So much for Desolation being the answer to all his problems.

My Review

The Gunslinger’s Guide to Avoiding Matrimony by Michelle McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I loved getting back to the town of Desolation.
There were a few funny moments between Adam and Nora that left me laughing out loud. Lucille the goat is still causing mayhem around town and his horse is can't stay away from the sheriff's horse.

There were also a few sad moments when Nora feels the sting of Adam's rejection. But overall this addition to the series was fun.

Adam Brady accidentally finds the town of Desolation, a town that welcomes outlaws as long as they find a job or get married. Something Adam would like to avoid but after helping resident Nora Schumacher, they find themselves accidentally married.

Nora doesn't necessarily want a husband but she needs one. The grandfather left the house and property to her but she won't be able to gain full control until her thirtieth birthday unless she gets married. Adam is perfect because he doesn't want marriage either but he refuses to sign the paperwork. If only she can convince him to go along. When she confesses her reasons for staying married to Adam, her friends decide to help steer him into her arms.
