As the final book in the trilogy, another member of the Ladies' shooting club meets her match. While looking for respectable work, reformed Vashti (aka Georgia) starts selling stagecoach tickets & eventually driving them too. Griff, her boss, is unable to find reliable workers and is plagued with robberies from outlaws. As Griff battles his feelings for Vashti, he also fears for her safety. Vashti is so independent and used to guys who mistreat her, that she wonders if she'd ever risk getting married to any man.
With the three books in this series so closely related, I am glad that I bought them at the same time. As soon as I finished one, I couldn't wait to read the next one. I hope to see more of Susan Page Davis' books as ebooks, I really enjoyed the three in this trilogy.

These stories have good chrisitan values when it comes to dating, or courting as it was called back then. These stories also show how being a christian isn't easy, but it is most certainly worth it; because with God we can do all things.

I usually always enjoy Susan Page Davis' books. The series far exceeded my expectations! I really enjoyed it and hated for the book to end. I really would have liked for Isabelle to have gotten married to the doctor. The individual book would work as a stand a lone book, but I think is enhanced as a set. I have already recommended this to several book friends.

(RATING:4.5) THE BLACKSMITH'S BRAVERY by Susan Page Davis is a wonderful inspirational histoical romance set in 1887 Fergus Idaho.It is Book 3 of "The Ladies' Shooting Club",but can be read as a stand alone. Sheriff's Surrender, Book 1 of The Ladies' Shooting Club, Gunsmith's Gallantry, Book 2 of The Ladies' Shooting Club.This is a story of not bravery,courage,but also of second chances,faith, hope,love,community,and family.This is the story of Vashti,an ex saloon girl who desires to be a stagecoach driver while she grows in her christian faith.And Griffin, the owner of the blacksmith shop and the manager of the stagecoach line,who insists Vashti will not drive a team of horses with his stagecoach.But...This story is full of adventure,wit,romance,faith,a few outlaws,charm, and of course The Ladies' Shooting Club to the rescue.While Vashti and Griffin fight their attraction to each other,Griffin's nephrew comes to live with him for a while(his father just died and his mother sends him to her brother to keep him out of trouble),and Vashti and Griffin must fight off outlaws too. This is a fast paced,action packed story of forgiveness,moving forward,redemption,romance,community and family.And of course the story of how love can grow between an ex-saloon girl and a tough blacksmith owner who is also brave.If you enjoy historical romance with inspiration aspects and that is full of adventure would will enjoy this one.What a great series "The Ladies' Shooting Club has been.A must read for all historical romance readers and readers of westerns.This book was received for the purpose of review from Net Galley and the publisher and details can be found at Barbour Publishing and My Book Addiction Reviews.

Good Conclusion to the Ladies Shooting Club Series
I have been a fan of this series since day one! I have especially wished to JOIN the Ladies Shooting Club, but then, I'd have to live to Fergus, Idaho in the late 1800's (on second thought, maybe I'd like to keep my indoor plumbing). Oh, well...I've been able to live vicariously through Trudy, Libby, and now Vashti through all three of these books, and each one has been a real treat.
Vashti was feisty with a capital F. No way, no how was she going to let Griffin Bane talk her out of one day being a stagecoach driver. Now I have to admit that a job like that is definitely not for the faint of heart, but Vashti filled the role beautifully. All she wanted was to be known for something other than a gentleman entertainer, which was part of her past. She knew that she'd never be looked upon as one of the finer ladies of Fergus, but she still craved a fresh start. That part of the story really stood out to me because, just like most people, I've done things in my life that I'm not proud of and wished for my slate to be wiped clean. That's not always possible in the human world, but for Vashti, she managed to earn the respect of several members of the town, and by the book's end, a few were even willing to risk their lives!
And Griffin....my, my, that fella just about made me swoon! He was a big hunk of a guy that deep down, had such a soft heart. I loved the addition of his nephew, Justin, to the story because in some ways, that forced Griffin to care for someone other than himself. Poor guy really was a loner until Justin and Vashti stepped into the picture!
I hate that this was the last I'll hear from the little town of Fergus, Idaho! I loved these characters and the originality of each story. Oh, and did I mention that I loved the Ladies Shooting Club? :o) Those gals were as reliable as the U.S. Mail, and always ready to do their part to protect their town, no matter what. The Blacksmith's Bravery gets a rating of 4 stars, and the hope that someday, there will be a 4th book to this great series. :o)

Davis’ paints a moving portrait of a woman with a past striving to make it in a man’s world. With historical accuracy, she draws Vashti and her stagecoach boss into a friendship that blooms into love. The reader is swept into the rough and tumble 1800’s of Fergus, Idaho. Davis blends colorful characterization, a vibrant setting, and full-throttle action.
