In "The Gamble" by LaVyrle Spencer, a western town with saloon owner (Scott) and temperance movement president (Agatha/Gussie) falling in love after being drawn together by an orphan (Willy). Scott got Willy a cat he named “Moose.” Saloon owner left to go back to his plantation and sent for the woman he fell in love with. He also had very colorful friends, former prostitutes who became dancing girls in the saloon and moved with him to the plantation to help him get it in shape to use as a bed & breakfast place.
I liked this book because there was a lot of subplots going on besides just the romance and it held my attention. There was humor in this too which always makes for an enjoyable read.

It's been awhile since I've read a LaVyrle Spencer book and I never knew she wrote a western so will have to check this one out!
