At the ripe old age of twenty-eight, desperate-to-retire gunslinger Adam Brady has exactly two rules. And one of them is never, ever get married. So he’ll be danged when his dreams of permanently avoiding the bounty hunter on his tail in Desolation, the only town where notorious men like him can find respite, comes with one helluva string attached. The town has a new rule: gunslingers welcome—if they get a job…or marry.
Without realizing it, Adam stumbles into a big town wedding and accidentally marries Nora Schumacher, a sassy-mouthed mountain of a woman with legs as long as his wanted poster. So what’s a gunslinger to do but get himself unhitched and find a job. Any job. Except Adam keeps getting fired, one odd circumstance after another. And he’s running out of options.
Desolation was supposed to be his safe haven. Except, he’s not only running from his past but from the irresistible woman he married. And worse, he’s finding that he rather likes the enticing, if damnably independent, wife of his. But some men just aren’t the marrying kind. Only, if he leaves, his own life won’t be worth living. If he stays, he puts the lives of his newfound family and the woman he loves on the line. So much for Desolation being the answer to all his problems.

Summary
The Gunslinger’s Guide to Avoiding Matrimony by Michelle McLean was a fun romantic comedy.
Adam seems to make a lot of bad decisions. He finds himself in Desolation; a town known for accepting criminals that are wanting to turn their life around.
Nora was an unusual character. She wore pants when working and had to take care of her drunk of a dad.
There were so many fun scenes. From when they accidentally get married and to when she kept calling him by the wrong name. And how the town people were supporting her by making his jobs difficult. And how he kept getting fired.
I hope we eventually learn the back stories for Doc and Preacher.
Sexual content - 3 several scenes with details
Violence - 2 someone is kidnapped and someone is shot
language 2 D&mn is used 45 times
drinking 1 - some casual drinking in the bar
