Look out, Leo! Dora’s coming for you, and she’s bringing your brother-in-law,Jesse, and three children(two of them, yours). Bet you didn’t think when you betrayed your first(?) wife that she’d be so pissed off that she would become a bounty hunter. She’s got two guns, and she’s itching to use them.
Sylvia McDaniel has birthed another great Lipstick & Lead book with well-developed main characters, like Dora and Jesse;the three children, all with distinct personalities; the paid assassins and crooked sheriff; and lastly, Leo the Scumbag and his fiance.
The plot was a roller coaster of “What was she thinking?”, “What was he thinking?”, to “Why don’t they stop thinking and shoot Leo?” I would have been happy to shoot him for the way he treated the children. In the end, fate produced a happy ending.
I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book and the views expressed are my honest opinions.
One of the best books in this series.
Received an advance copy from the author.
Dora and Jesse’s story has so many twists and turns it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Wonderful story that keeps you wondering what’s going to happen next.
I loved this book! What would YOU do if you found out a long-dead scoundrel of a husband was very much alive and still a scoundrel? Like the heroine, I’d probably want to kick butt and take names. It’s such a sweet, sexy, emotional story, one that really stays with you long after the end. I’m so glad I read it.

What she finds is a very handsome man, and three small children on the ranch. Come to find out, her thieving husband had not only been alive but he had married another woman, had children with her, and now those said children’s mother was dead. And now with suspicions of him killing his wife, they must find him to keep anyone else from dying from his miracle drug. And how can she keep her feelings at bay, with the handsome Jesse and his sisters children. Her heart aches for those kids. But she takes her vows of marriage seriously, and she will not ever brake them.
I highly recommend this series. I have loved every book in it. It is becoming one of my favorite series of Sylvia’s. You don’t want to miss this one!
