New York Times best-selling author Margaret Brownley delivers a wildly entertaining tale in her latest book, Gunpowder Tea. Set in Arizona Territory during the late nineteenth century, Brownley expertly captures the lively look and feel of the Old West. Main character Miranda is a well-developed and relatable character as she struggles throughout the book with both her career and her relationship with God. Miranda’s romantic counterpart, Jeremy, is charming and mysterious in his role and the scenes with the two lovebirds were some of the best. In addition to romance, the story is action-packed with train robberies, bank heists, and suspicious characters that will leave readers guessing just who’s responsible. The numerous plot twists and turns kept the story suspenseful until the very end. Gunpowder Tea is fun historical fiction!
