A Wanted Man Book (2) could stand alone. Although, I would
recommend to read The Man from Stone Creek (1). In this
book Rowdy Rhodes and Pardner were introduced. Pardner he's
a dog! I loved how the author intermingle him into the story
line. Almost all the characters in The Man from Stone Creek
played a part in A Wanted Man. Schoolmarm Lark Morgan and
sex Rowdy Rhodes had an instant attraction (physical chemisty)
when they first laid eyes on each other at Mrs. Porter's
boarding house. Both, sense the other were hiding a secret.
I also, like the secondary characters as well. Rowdy's brother
Gideon, (Sixteen) he played a sufficient role. Lydia a sweet
eight year old stole my heart. LLM hinted at their own story.
I hope it does materialize. Another secondary character
Mrs. Porter the landlady. I don't what to give anything away.
Throughout the book Mr. Porter was mentioned. The ending
that involved Mrs. Porter I was rather surprised!
An absolute keeper. Explicit Sex.
At the beginning of the book Linda Lael Miller wanted
to tell everyone about a special group of people with whom
she recently became involved. The Humane Society of the
United States, specifically their pets for Life Program.
I highly recommend A Wanted Man.
One of her best! July 22, 2008
I had such a great time reading this book! This author definitely knows how to capture your attention and hold it! This one, I would have to say, is one of her best!

The novel is set in Stone Creek, Arizona Territory, in 1905. Two people have arrived in town. Lark Morgan came to town a few months earlier and took the vacant position as schoolteacher in the local school. She is obviously well educated, but seems too well dressed to be a typical schoolteacher. She is boarding at Mrs. Porter's Rooming House. Then Rowdy Rhodes arrives in town, summoned there by an acquaintance to serve as town marshall and help in apprehending train robbers operating nearby.
He arrives at Mrs. Porter's Rooming House to rent a room for the week.
It is a small town where people gossip and speculate, but everyone has hidden secrets. Even the nosy madam at the local bordello does not know everything (although she does keep private records of her clients). Lark is obviously running from something. Rowdy has things in this past that he will not talk about. There is the question about Mr. Porter, who is not there, but who Mrs. Porter seems to be expecting at any moment. There is young Lydia, daughter of the local doctor, who does not get along with her stepmother. And there is the Chinese couple - the wife works as Mrs. Porter's maid.
People's pasts start to catch up with them. There are tales of spousal abuse, white slavery, child abuse, and reformed outlaws. The novel has fairly strong sexual content, and some amount of violence consistent with the story. There are a few surprises.

I love Westerns, whether books or movies. Just like historicals, they bring you back to a place and time we can only imagine. LLM's books do this with a light reading and a fairly good story. Sensuality is a 9 and you kind of have to get around this for historical fact.
Both Rowdy and Lark were good characters. Rowdy was the perfect man; bad but extremely good inside and out. Lark wasnt a simpering 18 y.o. I dont like books where the heroine is that young. The book was a very good companion on an overnight business trip. Will read more of LLM.

Lark Morgan is a schoolmarm with a secret she can't afford for anyone to learn. New to Stone Creek, Arizona, she teaches in a one-roon schoolhouse in clothing more befitting a woman of wealth and stature than a poorly paid single woman.
Rowdy Rhodes is the new marshall of Stone Creek and new to town as well. He's been hired by a fedeal ranger to keep peace in a small town, as well as help find the gang of train robbers who are disrupting rail sesvice and scaring passengers away. Rowdy has a secret of his own and being found out could mean the end of his freedom.
When Rowdy's father and younger brother show up, it spells trouble for the new marshall. Lark has trouble of her own on the horizon when the owner of the railway gets held up by the train robbers, one who has eyes the same deep blue as Rowdy's. Rowdy needs to put a stop to the robberies, and Lark needs to find a way out of town before the train's owner finds her. And both of them might be better off if they weren't so darned attracted to each other. But, who can they trust?
Throw in an elderly landlandy with secrets of her own, a little girl left to fend for herself, a 20-year-old third grader, and a Chinese doctor and his wife--and you have an ensemble sure to make for an entertaining story.
You can expect to laugh, sigh, and feel the pull of your heartstrings with this one. A well-written tale from an author who knows her way around a horse and a dog. Highly entertaining read.
Armchair Interviews says: Once you read a Linda Lael Miller book, you'll look for others.
