This fast paced Western was pure escapist joy to read. I loved it from start to finish. Seriously, Emmett Love is a great character. Shrug and Gentry and Phoebe and witchy Rose -- I love 'em all. I immediately bought the next one in the series. I've been disappointed by several ebooks recently. (Don't look for reviews. Not my job to hurt people's reputations.) So this was a double pleasure. It's no trouble seeing why John Locke is one of the best selling ebook authors around. (I haven't read his Donovan Creed books but they must be good as Follow the Stone, at least, to sell the millions of copies they do.)Follow the Stone is a rough and tumble, whores-against-the-world trail ride into the cliff-hanging Old West. Locke is a master Western storyteller. If you like adventure, sex, six shooters and saloons between Indian attacks, crazy sod busters, lots of dust and grit, and even a rabid Long Horn steer -- you really can't miss with this one. Uke Jackson This is a fitting series to put alongside the Donovan Creed series, and Emmett is a hoot! I really enjoy Mr Locke's 1st person story telling, and giving us readers the feeling of being the eyes and ears of the character. As for the story specifically, a gunslinger, his best friend who don't talk (so Emmett thinks), a cackle of whores, a mysterious friend who knows more than she should, and a old west trail, what more could a story need ;) There's some pokin', some drinkin', some shootin' and rock throwin'. There's 'ladies' in the mud, there bad guys in the grasslands. I would like to not be specific as to not spoil anything, but this, along with it's follow ups is a very fun, enjoyable, sad, happy tale. if you love some old cowboy action with a little friendship and lovin' mixed in, you're bound to enjoy this fun little tale.
