The Eyes of Texas [Dramatized Adaptation]

Written by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone

Narrated by A Full Cast, Michael Glenn, Tim Carlin and 37 more

Shady Rest, Texas, has the dubious reputation for being the deadliest town in America. Getting yourself killed is as easy as blinking and twice as quick. Sure enough, Matt Jensen hasn't swallowed his whisky before the town's marshal is gunned down before his eyes. Matt defends himself by putting two bullets in the shooter's chest, unaware that he's in line for a $5,000 bounty--as long as he stays in Shady Rest to collect it. And staying gets even more tempting when a red haired beauty decides to be the next town marshal...

Annabel O'Callahan is a dressmaker with a secret weapon--no hard case or gunslinger worth his salt will gun down a lady. Almost overnight, Shady Rest becomes a model of law and order. But the man Matt killed has a whole passel of friends and family--the killing kind, man or woman--headed to Shady Rest for revenge. Now the dressmaker and the mountain man must join forces. Two against a small army. And the deadliest shootout Shady Rest has ever seen.

Reviews for The Eyes of Texas [Dramatized Adaptation]

[aeisen_3 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is the first Western I have ever read so I had no idea what to expect. I really enjoyed this book a lot, it will definitely not be my last Western. I really enjoyed the book a lot, I was just a bit disappointed with the ending. There was so much great description throughout the book, then it ended so quickly.

I received this book from Library Thing to read and review. I am not normally a fan of westerns, but this book definitely held my interest. Matt Jensen is a hard charging man out to set things right. He is tough, smart and ready to take on whatever is necessary. He breaks up a stage robbery. He kills a man, a jail escapee, who killed the town’s Marshall. Matt agrees to become the deputy for the local seamstress, Annabel, after she asks for and gets the Marshall’s position. Together they clean up the town, irritating the man controlling it, who sends some men after Matt and Annabel. In addition, the friends and relatives of the man Matt killed are coming for him. Can they outsmart this group of thugs? Can they succeed where the last four Marshalls, all killed, have not? The author has developed real characters, including a strong female role, not all that usual for the western genre. As I said, I am not generally a western type person, but this book managed to hold my interest enough to prompt me into rethinking the type of books I read.
