Woohoo! I’m so excited to share this amazing author’s new release! Her characters are damaged, tough, and yet surprisingly vulnerable. She creates westerns I would love to see on the big screen ala John Wayne- sigh 🙂
Today is Sandra’s birthday!
Keeper Tyree has a reputation of being the toughest, most fearsome bounty hunter in Kansas. Now he’s sheriff of El Dorado.

Description:
There’s a new sheriff in town.
Instead of chasing bounties all over the state, Keeper Tyree has taken the job of sheriff of El Dorado.
Everything is going well. He’s tamed the town and now he doesn’t have to knock more than a few heads together a day, and has no more than one or two occupants in the calaboose at a time. Then a stranger comes to town. A stranger bent on vengeance and the man he wants to bring down is Keeper.
Mitchell Jordan holds Keeper personally responsible for his daddy being hung. He believes in an eye for an eye and he’s out to even the score. A family member for a family member.
Keeper is fearless, except where his loved ones are concerned. They’re his one weakness and there’s nothing he won’t do to keep them safe. No matter which side of the law he has to come down on. There’s no right or wrong, there’s just taking care of his own. And now they’ve been threatened.
Jordan leads Keeper out of El Dorado down a winding trail of danger and deceit, and that trail won’t end till one of them is lying boots up six feet under.

Character facts
Keeper surely does enjoy a good cup of coffee.
He never forgets a face on a wanted poster or the reward that goes with it. Someone might make the mistake of bad-mouthing Keeper’s mixed-breed deputy Sam Brown in his hearing once. No one makes that mistake twice.
Here is my review from Keeper Tyree, first in the Keeper series.

Keeper Tyree is an aging bounty hunter who lives by his own set of rules. He’s a hard man, but just, and his word is his bond. He’s a loner and likes it that way. Then Cathleen O’Donnell catapults into his life looking to hire his gun.
My Review
Hold onto your hat! This is an action-packed western with a strong romance storyline- loved it!
Bounty hunter Keeper Tyree is taking some well deserved downtime when a grim-faced woman interrupts his dinner hoping he’ll lead her to the man who killed her son. Keeper reluctantly agrees on the condition she stays home and waits for his return with the body.
The woman looked brittle as dry timber. He fancied if he rested a hand on her arm it would break like kindling.
Keeper Tyree- S. Cox
Of course, the dang woman doesn’t listen to reason and the two are doomed to be trail-mates.
Goldang, what a stubborn female. He’d never bumped up against one who had so little give in her cinch.
Keeper Tyree- S. Cox
The adventure begins almost right away. Between gunslingers looking to add Tyree’s name as a notch in their belt, rescuing a plethora of characters from soiled doves to a nerdy lawyer and his son, and a teacher dragged behind a horse in the badlands, the race to find the evil Pardee is offset by an unexpected romance between the aging Keeper and Cathleen.
He held out his hand to shake on it. She hesitated then put her small one into his big paw. He clasped it and was stunned at how right it felt. Such a small thing really. He didn’t know why it rocked him down to his toes.
Keeper Tyree- S. Cox
This is a fun read with so many memorable characters I know it will stay with me for a while. The author blends humor and suspense with a deft hand and brings the reader along for the ride with immersive descriptions of both the settings and the gunfights, which were exciting!
Thoroughly enjoyed Keeper Tyree and will be looking for more of this author’s work in the future.
