Legendary western author Robert
Randisi (writing as J.R. Roberts) introduces a new series character in “Lady
Gunsmith: The Legend of Roxy Doyle”. This fun,
sexy novel ties in nicely to Randisi's other successful adult western series, ‘The
Gunsmith’. However, you don't need to have read any of ‘The Gunsmith’ books
(there are well over 400) to enjoy Lady Gunsmith's origin story. The
book was released in March of 2017 by publisher Speaking Volumes.
The novel introduces us to Roxy
Doyle as a child on a wagon train journey westward in 1866. Violent events
transpire that culminate in a separation of Roxy from her father. Roxy's
growing into adulthood and the quest to find her dad serve as the driving
action propelling this story forward. Along her
journey from town to town, Roxy meets wary sheriffs, bounty hunters, rapists,
famous outlaws, criminals, sex partners (plenty of those, by the way), and
Clint Adams, the hero of ‘The Gunsmith’ series. Roxy
is a likable character who takes charge of her own sexuality and independence.
She's constantly overcoming the burden of her own beautiful looks and sex
appeal. There's plenty of violent gun-play and intrigue to keep the reader
entertained.
Randisi wrote a short-lived series in 2012 called ‘Angel Eyes’ with a sexy female character mining much of the same territory. That series ended too soon, so we can be thankful that many of the same concepts are being explored here. There's nothing really negative to say…it's an easy read with short chapters and lots of dialogue. You'll never feel lost or confused. By now, the author has got this genre well figured out. My only caveat is that this is an adult western, so there are many scenes of graphic sex interspersed with the explosive action, mystery and gun-play. If sex scenes bug you, this book is not for you. For the rest of us, we can all celebrate the launch of this great new series. With many of the adult western series titles (‘Longarm’, ‘Trailsman’, ‘Slocum’) now cancelled, Roxy Doyle is a great new addition to the genre.
