Taming Lady Temperance was a wonderful western mystery/romance set in 1894 Albany, TX. I especially enjoyed Deputy James Paxton, who was beyond reproach when it came to the law. He was also kind, tender, and his budding romance with Noreen O'Sullivan was pleasant to watch develop. He has an incredibly keen mind for solving criminal mysteries.
Noreen is a survivor of abuse and therefore has zero tolerance for alcohol. At twenty-seven, she is invited into a secret society.
Very well written with plenty of faith moments.
Quoteable: "We chose forget-me-nots because we wanted an emblem signifying that you are not forgotten. Not overlooked. Not unappreciated. Each of us was created for a specific purpose, one not tied to marriage and the production of children. Our Lord has not forgotten us, and we will not forget each other."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
