The Man in Black by L.R. Liverpool. I really enjoyed this Western Novel. It is a bit long so be prepared for that but the story is very good. Its the story of Fenimore who is leaving the life he's always known behind to go and be an outlaw. He thinks its going to be like the books but what he finds is not that. He ends up joining the Red Evans Gang and becomes Simon Shaw. As members of the gang begin getting murdered he's not to sure he made the right decision and debates going back home. He also discovers while he's on the trail with the gang that he has feelings for one of his fellow members leaving him confused and frustrated. This book is very emotional and will rip your heart out in spots. Trying to find out who is trying to kill all the gang members and dealing with Simon's feelings it gets to you in spots. This is a very good Western Romance with murder and mystery along with romance.

It’s hard to believe that this is the debut novel for L.R. Liverpool because this is a bombshell of a read! I was captivated from the first chapter and couldn’t read fast enough to see what happened next. I thoroughly enjoyed the mixture of drama, suspense, romance, and mystery all told from a memoir kind of perspective. The author has a great gift of making you feel for each character and really see through their eyes. There is great detail in building this world and each character which I absolutely loved. Fenimore leaves home and joins the well-known Red Evans gang to be an outlaw. Once he’s in the gang he realizes something is amiss as members are murdered in cold blood. Fenimore also begins to have romantic feelings for another member of his gang which doesn’t make his life any simpler. I loved this book and highly recommend picking it up to get lost in this amazing world the author has crafted!

The Man in Black is a MM romantic thriller by L.R. Liverpool. The story takes the reader along on a journey with Fenimore James as he sets off to make a new name for himself, literally and figuratively. At the beginning of Fenimore’s journey, he transitions into his new self- Simon Shaw. As he travels west, he contemplates on his dreams of all the fame and glamorous lifestyle of being an outlaw. There are times where he feels like he should turn around and go back to his old life. But eventually his dreams are in reach and joins with Red Evan’s gang. It’s there, he makes some very confusing and deep revelations of himself and who he really is as a man he despises becomes his love interest. Members begin dying and the boss is on edge as he suspects it is one of their very own. Is this dream everything he really wished it could be or will he regret this adventurous life he sought out as it takes a dark turn?
While this is certainly no quick read, the author has put a lot into this story and by the end of it, I felt like everything came together so well. So many feelings were felt along with Simon and just wished I could reach into the story and give him a big hug. The character growth and writing was immaculate and really kept me drawn in. I quite enjoyed this!

Fenimore James is bored with his life, with his name, with his clothes, and everything about himself. He has always dreamed about leading a more exciting life and becoming a famous outlaw. Fenimore decides to runaway from home and change both his name and his appearance. On his way out west a chance encounter with a notorious outlaw has him joining the notorious Red Evans gang. Simon Shaw, as Fenimore now calls himself, gets more than he bargained for when the members of the Red Evans Gang start to get murdered one after another.
This book had a memoir feel to it as we read about Fenimore’s life and adventures first hand, and in his own words. Fenimore seems like a meek and mousy homebody so when he decides to join a notorious gang it comes as a bit of a surprise. How will Fenimore/Simon handle life as a gang member? Throughout his adventure Simon also finds an unlikely romance with one of the gang members. Gang life is complicated enough but to add a MM romance to it only complicates Simon’s life even farther. This book has action, adventure, mystery, and romance all in a historical western setting.

This is my first book by this author which I look forward to seeing what is next for her. I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a well written story that has characters that not only bring the story to life but also add so much to the story. They are creative, unique and connectable. They are strong and supportive of each other. They made the story easy and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. The twists and turns are like no other. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot. I was pulled into the story from the first word. I really enjoyed this story. I highly recommend it.
WARNING: there is violence and MM adult sexual situations.
The Man In Black is definitely an intriguing historical MM thriller/mystery. Imagine a brutal and bloody Wild West. Imagine questioning your sexuality at that time and imagine a MM relationship that if exposed is just as deadly.
It is a complex adventure and quite a long story but it keeps you interested so the pages fly by. There is violence and foul language but that is what you expect from deadly outlaw gangs who are in the crossfires. It is a dark tale that is full of action and the intensity is strong. It is a tale that is raw and gritty. There is a lot of characters to keep track of throughout and the narrative is cleverly written and an interesting way of telling a tale that is intricately woven together.
ON top of all that there is mysterious killings on top of daily grind and who is the very mysterious Man In Black.
You will have to read it to find out how it all comes together.
