REVIEW
Deadly Adversaries is a good quick read of a Historical Western. It’s light on the romance. What I really enjoyed about this is that the three main characters are the children of the main characters in Debra’s first two westerns. We first met the parents of Carolyn and Matt in Debra’s very first published story, A Desperate Journey set in 1859. Matt’s partner, Jake, is the son of the couple of Deadly Ties (book 2). This story has the adult children center stage and it is now Texas 1881. I liked the storyline, the suspense, and the sweet budding romance. You do not have to read the other book to enjoy this one.
