To Reap and to Sow by JP Roberts

Having read Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey I've come to understand that cowboys were a randy lot. Bookbub has introduced me to Harlequin's Western Division. The present tome is the 311th in Penguin's All-Action Western Gunsmith Series which as of 2007 had apparently sold nine million copies. The hero Clint Adams makes ample use of his modified Colt but equal use of another gun when he goes for rolls in the hay. Unlike so many movie Westerns the writer here is realistic about the accuracy of the metal weapons, plenty of lead flies to little effect. This paperback was given me by a fellow camper at an RV Park in Fort Davis, Texas. The chapters are short, the point of view constantly changing, this is a quick read. Don't expect too much.
