I don't know how she does it, but Lori Copeland manages to write a story that just grabs you. The Peacemaker was written in a lighthearted romantic comedy style that was fun to read.Wynne Elliot has come to the Old West with one mission. She is going to kill Cass Claxton for leaving her at the alter and taking off with all her money. When her stagecoach is robbed near her destination, she meets Cole and Beau, who unbeknownst to her are Cass' brothers. Cole and Wynne immediately take a dislike to each other when the brothers try to help the people on the stagecoach and she points a gun at their heads, thinking they are more robbers. The feelings continue as events keep putting them together. Cole's manners irritate Wynne, 'pompous idiot' she called him, and her lack of common sense aggravates Cole, 'addlebrained and careless' was his description.After finishing this first book in the Men of the Saddle series, I am looking forward to reading the next one. The Peacemaker was a very enjoyable read and I recommend it to those that like Christian western romance books.~~~~Rebekah~~~~

Will Cole be able to stop Wynne's quest for revenge before she goes too far? Or will he lose his heart to a woman who is on a misguided search for justice?The Peacemaker is an entertaining mix of memorable characters, detailed setting, and gentle humor, served up with a Christian message that makes its point without being preachy. Who wouldn't share Wynne's frustration at being jilted? What woman wouldn't fall in love with Cole Claxton? Settle back with the Peacemaker for a visit to the Old West and the lovable Claxton family.You can always depend on Lori Copeland for a great story and this is one of her better ones.
A friend of mine recommended the Men of the Saddle series because she says that it has a wonderful mixture of historical, romance and inspirational fiction. So I picked up The Peacemaker and gave it a whirl. This is one of the most entertaining novels set in the Old West that I've read. Lori Copeland is a great author, one that I will look to in the future. Anyway, The Peacemaker tells the story of one Wynne Elliot and how she plans to kill Cass Claxton, her former fiance, for jilting her and running off with her money. But on her way to get him her stagecoach is robbed and in the course of events she meets Beau and Cole Claxton, Cass's brothers, and an adventure ensues in which Cole tries to keep Wynne from extracting revenge against his younger brother. He and Wynne take a dislike to each other the moment they meet, but beneath the mutual animosity lies an undeniable attraction for one another. But will Cole be able to keep Wynne from doing what she's set out to do against Cass? There are various twists throughout the novel.This was one entertaining novel! I couldn't put it down and finished it in two sittings. Copeland has a unique way of mixing several genres without outdoing them. I like the inspirational feel of the novel because it gives the otherwise typical romance plot more soul. She also writes the aforementioned genre without being too preachy or sounding too sanctimonious or self-righteous, which impresses me. I love Christian/inspirational fiction, and this is one of the best I've read for sure. I also love the way Copeland writes the Old West setting. This isn't my favorite historical setting, but I do enjoy it and this one is very well written. I love Cole Claxton! What a gorgeous, alpha male-ish, honest and wonderful hero he is! I also love the entire Cole family and I look forward to reading about the other male characters in their books; I especially look forward to reading Beau's story. Wynne is a great heroine, but a little too infuriating at times. She got on my nerves in some occasions. Anyway, The Peacemaker is definitely a great introduction to the Men of the Saddle series. I will definitely give the other books a whirl. In the meantime, I highly recommend this gem.
my order came in time specified and,, was in good condition. haven't read the book yet, but know from previous booksthat it will be enjoyable. I was satisfied with my order and, will probably order from this seller again.
This was the first one of the series I purchased. It was in good condition and enjoyed it fully that I ordered the other 3 in the series. Four soldiers coming home from the Civil War, each turning in different directions and different lives and loves. Very good reads.
I thought this was an interesting book but was a little too long as you would get into the read and think it was going to take off it didnât. You could have skipped pages and not have missed anything. It has a great plot and wonderful characters but the author just didnât do it for me. It is a nice clean read and the historical part was accurate with great detail. In this case a little to much was to much for me. It did have some cute funny moments about a women who wanted revenge on a man who took her money and stood her up at the church. She finds after being robbed that the people who took her in is the family of the man she was hunting.This is the first I have read by this author and this is in a box set so we will see how the next book takes off. For the first book in the series to set up the next one in line it was an ok read. But the author lost me more than she found me. I did enjoy the humor and even chuckled a few times.
