Rustler Mountain
ByPublisher Description
The citizens of historic Rustler Mountain, Oregon, have a history as colorful as the Wild West itself. Most can trace their lineage back to the original settlers, and many remain divided into two camps: outlaws, or lawmen. But none more legendary than the Wilders and the Talbots . . .
Every year, thousands of people come through Rustler for the rodeo, historic home tours, old-fashioned candy making demonstrations, sharpshooter shows—and to see the site of the 1800s shootout in which notorious outlaw Austin Wilder was killed by Sheriff Lee Talbot. Now Millie Talbot, the sheriff’s descendant, wants to bring back the town’s Gold Rush Days. But she needs the current Austin Wilder’s support to make her dream a reality. . .
The Wilders are rumored to be as true to their last name as their ancestors. Nonetheless, Austin is agreeable to helping Millie. But he wants something in return. Austin is working to clear his family name by writing the true history of his outlaw ancestors and Millie might just hold the key.
When Millie wrangles Austin into helping plan Gold Rush Days, he figures it’s a chance to get to the truth of the past. . . . But when sparks start to fly between this bad boy and good girl, will either of them come out of it unscathed?

“This cover! 😍 I’ll be honest, it’s the reason I picked up this book - it was giving all the cute small town, cowboy vibes.
What I liked about this book:
- It did cowboy romance with a twist, adding a bit of a Wild West vibe, which differentiates it a little from other books out there in this genre.
- The found family. One of the main things I enjoy about these types of books is the found family, and Rustler Mountain delivered. I liked the cast of characters and am already intrigued to see how the other stories/couples play out, particularly Carson and Perry’s in book 2.
- Austin and Millie’s mutual love of the town’s history, books and research made me buy into them as a couple in it for the long haul. There was more to their relationship than mutual attraction.
What I wasn’t so keen on:
- Constantly referring to Millie as “mousy” (luckily that tapered off in the second half).
- It was just a bit too cheesy at times for my personal taste.
- Despite the main character referencing the fact that the story is set in the modern day, she still sometimes spoke and acted like someone from the 1900s.
- The ending felt too rushed and a bit too Hallmark (again, for my personal taste).
Overall, while not a new favourite, it was a super quick and easy to binge read, and a nice palate cleanser.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-arc of this book.”
