Praise for
Boots Under Her Bed:
"The unpredictable, rough-and-tumble aspects of life in the Wild West come through in this diverse quartet of engaging novellas. A resourceful heroine, anxious to wed, is not nearly so crazy as people think in Thomas's touching "Crazy Callie"; the hero of Jo Goodman's fictional dime novels mentioned in her other works springs to life-and falls in love-in her engaging "dime novel" "Nat Church and the Runaway Bride"; a bold bank robbery links two strangers on the train west in Kaki Warner's clever, sexy "The Scent of Roses"; and a fugitive New York heiress and the security guard who tracks her down at a Texas brothel are caught up in violence in Alison Kent's "The Hired Gun's Heiress." and#173;VERDICT This excellent, action-packed anthology from some of the genre's favorite writers should please fans and garner new ones." --Library Journal
