Summary: A pleasant tale
Review: In 1892 Angel Creek, George Carrington cuts a deal with bounty hunter Mackenzie Cord. If Mac finds and returns home George's daughter Savannah, he can marry the woman if she agrees. Since Mac became a bounty hunter so he could earn money to wed his beloved best friend Savannah, he readily accepts the deal.

Mac catches up with Savannah in the Jamestown, New York jail. Pretending to be her spouse, he persuades the local sheriff that Savannah is not a cohort of a bank robber, but an innocent victim. Savannah refuses to return home with Mac until she regains her stolen money. With an opportunity at hand, all Mac has to do is convince the stubborn Savannah that they can be friends and lovers forever.

HERO FOR HIRE is an amusing Americana romance that stars two enchanting lead characters. The story line is fun and humorous especially when Mac has to keep his head when he is around his beloved, but is sort of a one-joke tale. Still, fans will genuinely like the protagonists who, with the support cast, provide a picture of the Gay Nineties in upstate New York and South Carolina that showcases Sheridon Smythe's writing abilities.
