Sarah Merritt has come to Deadwood to start a newspaper and to find her sister Addie. She immediately tangles with Marshal Noah Campbell and ends up in jail. This is one of those enemies-to-lovers tropes, but it also has a slow burn, sometimes too slow. It's a double romance also, as Addie has been working as a prostitute. Sarah tries to rescue her, but it isn't very easy.
This author is great to read as she really researches her historical details. I liked learning about early gold mining, Deadwood, and printing, as well as a wealth of other knowledge about the late nineteenth century.
The romances were good, though I couldn't always sympathize with Sarah's fits-and-starts attitude toward Noah. No spoilers but I think I liked the secondary romance better. ( )

Enjoyable story set in South Dakota in the late 1800's. Sarah heads to Deadwood to find her estranged sister, who is working in a brothel. She sets up a newspaper in town, clashes immediately with the marshal, and with her sister's old love Robert arriving, finally convinces Addie to leave the brothel. Sarah and Noah keep sparking and dancing around one another, until they finally wind up marrying. ( )

I've read most of LaVyrle Spencer's books and there are only a handful that I remember clearly. This is one of them. Typical Spencer. Sweet romance. ( )

1876 "gold" town days. Newspaper lady; sister was a prostitute. Cold, snowy, rainy. ( )
