I've read a few of Ruth Ann Nordin's stories before so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. I feel that this book is a good one, but it's not as strong as some of her other books. ( )

I enjoyed reading this well written story. The characters are ones that you can care about, they make you want everything to work out for them.

Owen Russell is in deep trouble. In order to save his aunt from poverty due to a bad gambling problem his uncle had, he wins back the money from the group of gamblers and returns it to her. Realizing that they want to kill him, he flees from Louisiana to Nebraska where he runs into the sheriff who mistakes him for Irving Spencer who signed up to be his deputy. Owen decides that this beats death because there are Wanted posters all over the place seeking his arrest. So he plays along and pretends to be Irving. What he doesn't realize is that Irving agreed to marry Jenny Larson. One look at her tells him that she is beautiful, so he agrees to marry her. But what will he do when the real Irving shows up? ( )

From the description The Wrong Husband sounded interesting. I'm not a huge fan of westerns and didn't realize it was until I started reading it. I thought I'd go ahead and give it a shot. I finished it but almost quit several times but wanted to know what happened at the end. It took me a few days to read but if it had not been so boring and predictable I would have finished it sooner. There is a sequel coming out but I will not be reading it. ( )
