Book description

She's bold
Honey Beaulieu grew up in her mama's whorehouse, the Tasty Chicken, which serves up the finest food, whiskey, and women in Wyoming Territory, but Honey takes after her crack shot Pa--and she doesn't back down from anyone…

Why read it?

1 author picked Hot Work in Fry Pan Gulch as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I like this cleverly written half-serious and half-humorous Western novel for its beautifully sketched heroine, Honey Beaulieu, as well as its skillful presentation of a part of the old American West that has been ignored–the lowly and often dangerous roles that madames and girls of the night had to play in an untamed land. 

I was captivated by the spot-on descriptions of 1800s Montana and the role switch of sharpshooting Honey, a young woman sharpshooter who would rather attempt to become a sheriff than work in her mother’s house of ill repute.
