US Marshals Eli Flynn and William Henry Washington - longtime friends and colleagues - are escorting two prisoners to New Orleans for trial when they discover there's more than outlawry to the infamous shootist Dusty Rose and the enigmatic man known as Cage. As the two prisoners form an unlikely partnership, the marshals can't help but look closer at their own.

When forces beyond the marshals' control converge on the paddle wheeler they've hired to take them downriver, they must choose between two dangers: playing by the rules at any cost or trusting the very men they are meant to bring to justice.

Contains mature themes.

I enjoyed the story and the characters. the 2 Marshall's and the 2 prisoners were well written and all worked together to make an engaging story. I was enthralled by the story and it was over too soon.

not my normal genre, really enjoyed

I really enjoyed this one. Not my usual kind of story. Not a usual narrator for me. But I enjoyed everything about it from beginning to end.
The characters were so rich. Excellent writing. Scenes were so vivid. Felt like I was watching a movie.
I see myself listening to this one again. Really wishing for more from this world.
Will not be my last from this author.
*add to wish list*

Something different

The author created some wonderful characters and teased us with the promise of more adventures involving them. Now I just have (im)patiently wait for her to write them.

More, please!

What did you love best about According to Hoyle?

I think the simpler question is what didn't I like and that would be nothing. I loved everything about this one from setting, plot, characters, to the twists, turns and action.

What other book might you compare According to Hoyle to and why?

This one felt cinematic. I saw this one in pictures like a western movie. A twist between Maverick, Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns, and some John Wayne maybe? I'm not good at the comparison game, but that's what it felt like, to me.

Have you listened to any of Mason Lloyd’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first. He was great, matching well with the western genre and doing a fantastic job narrating three perspectives and doing dialogue for even more with five main characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

See my review title. :)

It's a western action romantic suspense so something for everyone.

Any additional comments?

Please, please, please, I beg for a sequel so I can go back to the world of According to Hoyle and it's characters.

I received this book from Riptide Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

Won by the Wild Western Romantic Suspense

I'm not a fan of older westerns but I thoroughly enjoy Abigail Roux so I reluctantly got this read because I was tired of listening to sap and had read Cut and Run for the 5th time recently. I needed a gay romance with substance and hoped she could deliver again.

She certainly did. Loved that the writing and dialogue was period authentic, story was gritty, humorous and sexy for the period. Should have expected nothing less from her.

Ms. Roux, please don't stop writing gay romance. Your balance of storyline, emotions, descriptions and mystery is perfect. Your characters are exceptional and differing. Thank you for allowing others to experience your talents.

Don't hesitate. It's worth every minute.
