To wake up under a merciless sun, without a soul around, feeling like you just cheated death would jolt even the most hardened man. But to have no recollection of who you are or why you’ve been beaten, branded and left for dead, well, that would be the sort of terror there are no words for.

With nothing but the memory of a beautiful woman, he doesn’t know and the seed of vengeance slowly growing from his gut for a wrong he feels has been done to him, a man sets out to find who he is and who left him out in the desert to die.

But will he discover his identity? And when he does, will he regret knowing the truth of the heinous crime he was accused of committing? Or will he discover his desire for revenge is justified?

The town of Hempstead, Texas is an unholy place where honest men stay in the shadows and the corrupt walk bravely in the sunlight. But all of that is about to change when the rumors start to tumble into town with the weeds and wind. The rumors of the ghost searching for his love and… retribution.

If you like fast-paced clean romance and action-packed stories, you won't be able to put down this addictive Novel by Evelyn Boyett.

"The Retribution Of An Honest Man" is a stand-alone Western Historical Romance Novel of approximately 400 pages.

The title didn't grab me, but the story sure did! Author Evelyn Boyett unfolded the plot through the eyes of various characters. There was never a dull moment. Her descriptions of people and events, are so vivid visually, physically, and emotionally. The bad guy, Irving Buckley, is so very bad. The hero and heroine are good, but very human. The side characters add color and interest to the story. This is a very enjoyable story with very fine writing.

I read this book for free as an ARC. I loved the story, had the complexity of “the count of monte Cristo “. The main thing I didn’t like was the writing was a bit stiff, there were some minor typos, and each chapter was written in the first person of a different person. Personally I think each chapter heading should have the person’s name in it to prepare the reader. I really liked that it was a clean read, no descriptive sex or cussing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most unique historical Western romance I have ever read!
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2019

As any good western, this story had good guys, bad guys, a lady needing rescuing, and a happy ending. Bur there was so much more to this story! It started out with the hero surviving his hanging and losing his memory. The rest of the book was the detailed story of him rescuing his love and fighting the bad guys. The author took a basic story line and gave it many inventive twists and turns, and added interesting characters and a unique resolution.

I thought the author could have ended the story at several points and it would have been a great story, but she kept giving us more and more story. I appreciated that the author gave us 2 books worth of story for the price of one book. This was a clean romance, but the story did have very evil bad guys and much violence. However, the author did not dwell on the violence or give it lots of detail. This book was hard to put down because you didn't know what would happen next. I am going to read more by this author.

I have read several books by this author and they are all well done. This one had an intricate storyline that was woven in such a way as to keep you turning pages to see what happens next. It starts out with a hanging of an innocent man by an evil rich oil baron. He owned the town and the lawmen. No one spoke against him nor denied him anything. That is until his victim survived the botched hanging. Clinton is his illegitimate son by his cleaning lady but was never treated like his 1st 2 sons, Morris and Willis. He worked in the oil fields with Irving's hired hands and was never in the mansion. He fell in love with a girl who Irving had cared for since she was orphaned at age 12. He had been grooming her to be his wife when she came of age so when she and Clinton tried to run off together, Irving was furious; hence, the hanging. Things continue on a downward spiral with many being killed because Irving would not let it go. It does finally settle into a HEA. This story has vengeance but also a faith in God. Highly recommended.
I received an ARC. This is my voluntary review. Thanks Evelyn for another winner!

This book starts with a hanging and gets even more fascinating with each page. Through a twist of fate, the cowboy survives but has no real memory of what he did to deserve t. This book about Clinton and Allison's story of love, pain, revenge and triumph. I found the story to be a good one, but sometimes hard to follow as the perspective sometimes changed from chapter to chapter with no indication. ("I" could have meant any character in the book.) Other than that, I enjoyed reading it.

This book is about love and the battle of good and evil when one man dose nothing but take for his own purpose hes even willing to kill to keep what doesn't belong to him. Clinton Case has woken with no memory but deep down he knows hes lost something precious to him shes beautiful who is she and will he be able to get vengeance for the wrongs done to him. Allison was orphaned early on and taken in by Irving Buckley hes more then he seems he wants her but he will have to wait till shes of age to marry her he wil mold her into his idea of the perfect wife but when Clinton and Allison meet they fall in love what will become of there young romance especially when lies are told and loyalty tested.

Many Good and bad boys as in any western. There is a botched hanging of an innocent man accused of raping Allison. Irving is an awful man who owns the town, his son raped Emily and he hangs Clinton an innocent man without a trial. So many emotions, twist and turns, ups and downs it keeps you wanting more. The characters are believable. Clinton awakens with a noose around his neck, and eventually makes it to town. He is unsure of who he can trust as he doesn't know what he did to get the noose around his neck to be hung. You will have to read to find out the ending. I received an ARC and recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, clean, historical romance
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2019

A clean, inspirational romance book filled with love, meanness, romance, suspense and intrigue, and a belief in oneself and God and even some forgiveness. A battle of good against evil and will to live and survive. Each chapter was written in the first person of each character, which I really enjoyed. There were many sub plots but it all came together in the book very well. The bad people received their comeuppances and the good were given the love and goodness that life has to offer. I really enjoyed this book and the author.
**I received a free copy and this is my honest review.**

I love historical romance. I love reading about how pioneering hard working and the way they trust in their faith to lead them on the right path. I was brought up on Westerns, the land was rugged and the life hard but strive and succeed they did and we cheered them on. This story is far more, its gritty and bold Its dangerous but it has lots of faith and humour thrown in. Allison is at the mercy of her benefactor who has had his sights set on her for a very long time. The story is a harrowing one and shows to what length a dishonest man will go to get what he wants. He will sacrifice everything he should hold dear. Allison can only ever love one man but he has been savagely taken from her and she loses all hope of ever feeling that type of love again. Revenge is a dish best served up cold. Can something rise from the ashes of her life and give her hope. Treat yourself and read this, you won't be disappointed. Great characters that draw you in. I loved Curtis and the Bar keep they were great support actors in this fight for righteousness and the dog was a hoot. loved it

I found the writing in the 'first person' to be off-putting, particularly as it switched from one of the protagonists to another! Made for quite a bit of re-reading to gather who now was the 'first person' doing the story-telling. Nice relationship between the two male friends and how they helped each other. An ok read but not one of the author's best to my mind.
