GRR Reviews Bad Company by Carol Carson

Bad Company managed to make a historical western romance both funny and somehow, also deadly serious.

Trixianna Lawless was startled by the big man that crashed open her door that she took a blind shot at him, and he collapsed... Only then did she notice the tin star... She just shot the sheriff. After treating his wound, he informed her she's under arrest for bank robbery. She told him it's obviously a case of mistaken identity, as she's definitely not "Mad Maggie West", the notorious bank robber, though even she admits there's a certain resemblance between her and the person on the wanted poster. // Sheriff Chance Magrane can't believe he got shot by a woman, but his attempt to put her in jail backfired when the townfolks decided the jail was inadequate and decided to put Trixie in Chance's home instead (!) But even that seems to backfire when Chance ended up being poisoned, stabbed and had his house almost burned down (all by accident!) but even then there is no denying there's a certain something between them... But it will take a whole town, including a visit from a couple surprise guests, to get these two together... And the real bank robber caught.

Quite funny and yet serious, this is hilarious at times. It will take some serious mind-bending to understand why the town insist that Trixie should go to Chance's home, but it's still heck funny.
