Cathleen Chase aka Cat O'Banyon is a bounty hunter, but her true mission is revenge. She is searching for the man who killed her husband. She will know that voice anywhere. Learning several tricks came about when the BEAUTY AND THE BOUNTY HUNTER got together for a brief time.
 
Meeting up with con man Alexi Romanov was great as she learned powerful tricks of the trade and then some. Alexi was also a man she knew better than to trust for long so she walked away. She didn't know he followed her many exploits until they come face to face again. Now she has no choice but to trust him. He comes with news that the man she is searching for has turned the tables on her – there is a sizeable bounty on her head. Alexi is the only man who can help her stay alive long enough to get the man she wants to end. He plans to protect her but he wants so much more with the woman who has haunted him.
 
Who doesn't love a cowboy-themed read with action and danger especially when there is steamy romance to top it all off? With everyone chasing after the couple a lot is happening with these people. Add into the that the world around them is changing too - it's getting smaller.
 
This is a very well-written historical with the addition of the changes that happened in the west with the telegraph, the arrival of the railroad, and the touches added into the story that mentions those who still were haunted by the Civil War. There is very good dialogue between these scarred but determined characters and having some humor mixed in made BEAUTY AND THE BOUNTY HUNTER a very good read.
 
(This is a re-release from 2012 but having not read the original, I can't tell if there is any rewriting done or just a cover change.)
