As usual, the women carry the story with heroine Sally McClellen whose ambition has been to be the best cowboy ever, her sister Mandy, known as the best shot in the west, and Wise Sister, an older Shoshone woman who can do everything from hunting for meat to cooking it. What man has a chance against strong women like these?<\/p>\n<p>Artist Logan McKenzie has his hands full when\u00a0 he rescues Sally after witnessing her fall over the edge of a cliff. He quickly realizes that she is the love of his life but their obvious differences convince him that a relationship is virtually impossible. Sally fights her growing attraction to Logan because she is determined not to make the same mistakes her mother and sister have made by marrying &#8216;no account&#8217; men. There is just no way an artist can be the man she needs.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoyed reading <em><strong>Wrangler in Petticoats <\/strong><\/em>as well as most of Mary&#8217;s other books. I am beginning to wonder if she has a problem with men &#8211; there are so many &#8216;no account&#8217; ones who show up in her books. Her heroines are all strong, self-sufficient women, almost to a fault. Even the manly men sometimes come across a little less than ideal &#8211; but maybe that&#8217;s what makes Mary&#8217;s books work. I still buy them &#8211; can&#8217;t resist a western romance with humor.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/divider21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"52\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>A digital copy of this book was provided for review by Barbour Books through NetGalley.<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Wrangler-InPetticoats.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6092\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"Wrangler In Petticoats\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Wrangler-InPetticoats.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Wrangler-InPetticoats.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Wrangler-InPetticoats-98x150.jpg 98w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Wrangler-InPetticoats-150x228.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/a>Sally McClellen finds herself injured and in the care of the biggest wimp    she&#8217;s ever met.
