Laura's worst fears have been realized: Kindle has been taken into custody and she is once again on the run. The noose awaits her in New York, but Laura is realizing that there are some things worse than death. Finally running out of places to hide, it may be time for Dr. Catherine Bennett to face her past.
As many of you know, westerns aren’t my usual reading fare.
It’s true that I enjoy a wide range of genres, but I’ve never counted westerns
as part of my preferred reading.
How wrong I’ve been.
This book is the third book in a series. I have not read the
first two books, Sawbones and Blood Oath, but that didn’t keep me from
being instantly draw into this story from the very first sentence. Lenhardt’s
voice and style creates a book that is certainly a stand-alone as well as a
sequel. And that’s not all that I enjoyed about her writing.
Within the gorgeous covers of Badlands lies a tale of a woman doctor struggling to make her way
in the male-dominated Old West while hoping and longing to be reunited with her
true love who is somewhere back east. I’ll try not to give too many spoilers
here, because this book…oh, allow me to convey…this book is lavish with pain,
struggle, and heartache. It is punctuated with triumph and strength. Truly, it
is the story of the struggle of being a strong female.
Badlands by
Melissa Lenhardt is a marvelously gritty sequel about a bad-ass female character
you’ll love. From the get-go, the reader becomes the main character
through whom the story is told. Through the laudanum-induced stupor, the reader
begins the climb with the main character from where she’s hit rock-bottom and
ends the story with her on a high note as the bad-ass she is.
All hail the Old West in all her glory!
Why, you may ask, does the story start out with the main
character in a laudanum-induced stupor, and why is she separated from her
fella? Well, I cannot tell you that. You’ll have to get a copy of the book and
read the daylights out of it just like I did!
Even though this book reads marvelously as a stand-alone, do
as I’m going to do and grab a copy of Sawbones and Blood Oath. The characters
deserve to be caressed with your eyes, and I know your eyes will adore Lenhardt’s
writing as much as I do!
Oh! And don’t forget to scroll down to enter the giveaway!

Melissa Lenhardt is the author the Jack McBride mystery series, as well as the Laura Elliston historical fiction series. Her debut mystery, STILLWATER, was a finalist for the 2014 Whidbey Writers’ MFA Alumni Emerging Writers Contest, and SAWBONES, her historical fiction debut, was hailed as a "thoroughly original, smart and satisfying hybrid, perhaps a new subgenre: the feminist Western" by Lone Star Literary Life. A lifelong Texan, she lives in the Dallas area with her husband and two sons.
