Description
If you liked the Magnificent Seven, you'll love the Rock Creek Six!
Six elite Confederate soldiers band together after the War Between the States, hiring out their guns to protect lawless towns. Violence is all they know, until they make their way to Rock Creek, Texas.
Mary McKendrick, a headstrong schoolteacher who wants nothing more than to find a home, takes charge when a band of ruffians attempts to destroy Rock Creek. With very few men left in town following the war, Mary hires Reese, the mysterious and reluctant leader of a band of guns for hire.
Reese is haunted by the war and all he did during it. The only constant in his life are the five men willing to come whenever he calls them. They will do anything for each other; they are all they have left.
Though Mary prides herself on managing everyone and anything, she can't manage Reese or her feelings for him. Reese doesn't believe he is worthy of loyalty and devotion; he certainly isn't worthy of love.
Can Mary teach him differently?
Reviews
Nice beginning to the series
3By Pdb44Very good story. The characters and story were well developed. It was just a little boring in some parts. Especially Mary. I understood her need to control everything, but just found it boring hearing about every little thing. She definitely was quite naive. I actually loved the 6 and will probably read more books in this series. I suspect I will hear more about Reese and Mary in the other books. Which I would enjoy. I do recommend this book. A great start to the series.
