About this ebook
Did you hear about the blonde coyote?
It got stuck in a trap, chewed off three legs, and was still stuck.
Tressa Jayne Turner, Grandville, Iowa's own little "Calamity Jayne," is headed for the Grand Canyon State--and a wedding! Tressa's goofy Gammy is gettin' hitched, and Tressa is looking forward to a little down time in the desert. But her sunny vacation is suddenly about to have more strings attached than a dreamcatcher! Her cousin's keeping secrets, the roguishly hot Ranger Rick's sending mixed signals--more of the smokin' than smoke variety--and a "Kookamunga," a butt-ugly fertility figurine Tressa picked up at a roadside stand as a wedding gift, is turning out to be more trouble than tribal treasure. This wacky wedding's about to become a southwestern scavenger hunt of Amazing Race-meets-The Da Vinci Code proportions, featuring a washed-up actress out to kick-start her career, a suspect spiritual advisor, locals with a cause, and a ten-year-old who's a chip off a certain ranger's blockhead.
It'll be a vision quest to make Thelma and Louise's southwestern spree seem like amateur night at the OK Corral. May the best spirit guide win.

Reviews for Calamity Jayne in the Wild, Wild West (Calamity Jayne book #5)
17 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Far better than average for American novel. Humour romance and mystery. Good stuff.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I really felt that this book was getting back on track. I really disliked the third in the series and felt that it was out of character for the books. This episode had Tressa being funny, romance, annoyance, crazy family, and mystery. A good fun read.
