I love historical romances but I normally don't favor those with a "western" theme. However, "Sweetwater Seduction" is definitely a KEEPER!!!
The heroine, spinster schoolteacher Eden Devlin, is smart and spunky and provided a number of laughs.
Burke Kerrigan is a gunslinger with a heart of gold. Ruggedly handsome yet boyishly charming, I couldn't help but picture him as Jack Hughman.
The chemistry between these two was only slightly overshadowed by the battle of sharp wits that ensued between them throughout the book.
Laughs, likeable secondary characters, and a few tugs on the heartstrings (I cried at the end *blush) - I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone!

The farmers and the cattlemen in the Wyoming territory are blaming each other for many things, but they are brought up short when the spinster school marm convinces the wives to follow the example of "Lysistrata" and withhold sexual favors until there is peace. There are a few complications to this, including a dark stranger who's cast his eye on her favors. A charming historical western, with some real laugh-out-loud sections.
