“I can promise you one thing, I will spend my last breath saying your name, and my last thoughts will be of you. And if there’s a heaven, somewhere, we’ll be together again. Nothing could keep me away.” -The Outlaw Noble Salt

Once again Amy Harmon has drawn me into a world she has created, taking a piece of me that I will never get back, nor do I want it back. The tale of Butch Cassidy is one of legend. The lesson to be learned is that even an outlaw like Mr. Cassidy or Noble salt (as I have come to know him) can find a love worth fighting for. This beautiful story, spun from history, leads us on a journey of true friendship and a love you won’t be able to forget. Butch Cassidy is no longer keen on being an “Outlaw”, running from the law. He finds himself an opportunity he cannot turn down, nor does he want to. What he discovers is a love like no other, a love worth fighting for.

Tropes:
- morally grey character
- marriage of convenience
- Historical fiction
- He says “My Wife”
- True Love
- Friends in low and high places

Thank you again Amy for this opportunity to read and review this beautiful story you have created for us to love and cherish.

Well done Amy Harmon! 👏🏻 I really enjoyed learning about the infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy and his sidekick the Sundance Kid. As always, Amy’s books are well researched and have a captivating plot that will have you rushing to finish the book. This is one book you’ll definitely want to read in 2024!

Thank you to Amy Harmon for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. 🙏🏻🥰

The Outlaw Noble Salt is another amazing historical romance from Amy Harmon. I am continually blown away by her versatility to write across many different genres and her ability to create the most compelling, captivating stories.

This story was her most tender yet. Never would I have dreamed that I could love the outlaw Butch Cassidy so much. His struggles to find peace and solace, the way he found comfort and contentment in Jane’s singing, and the loving connection he fostered with Gus were all so beautiful and vulnerable. Amy took a large than life legend and made him relatable, made him human, took him off the pedestal and explored man behind the wanted posters.

Incredible! A new favorite!

Even an outlaw deserves to be loved at least once in this lifetime.

The Outlaw Noble Salt is a fictional tale of Butch Cassidy. A man filled with many complexities. Someone who is seeking a life; that will no longer have him on the run.
I found myself pulled in from the first page of this book. Amy created a character who was always the “bad guy” into someone that could be loved. As I continued to read, my perception of the outlaw changed. His character entangled me in a way I least expected. He was relatable because not one of us has walked through this life, not feeling disappointed in things we may have missed. The entanglement between him and Jane made my heart ache. Love really does conquer all even if you’re an outlaw.
This beautiful novel comes out in April, so add it to your list.
Reasons to read:
-morally grey love interest

Thank you Amy for this amazing opportunity!

This book, once again, confirms that Amy Harmon is a master storyteller and I am here for every word. I tried so hard to savor this book but there came a point where I could only devour it.
The writing was beautiful, the weaving and setting of the story was pure genius, and the love story was surprisingly sweet and awe-inspiring.
I grew up watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid regularly with my family. I was very familiar with Butch Cassidy and his story and I was surprised to find myself so moved by him in this book. Both by his past and the person he was striving to be. I adored how he was portrayed.
Amy Harmon’s words have previously made me fall for a British English teacher, a powerful king named Tiras, a boxer, a general in the continental army, and many more—and just like all those times before…I’m now in love with an outlaw.
Put this one at the top of your list in April. It’s a beautiful tale you won’t want to miss. Thank you so much, Amy and netgalley, for the early copy. I completely adored it.

4.5 stars rounded up.

Going in to this I knew absolutely nothing about Butch Cassidy. I just knew that Amy Harmon wrote it and I needed to read it the first chance I got.

My quick thoughts: I loved this book & all of its characters.

Wow, what a story! I was mesmerized from the start and found myself picking it up every chance I got. I will say this was more of a romance than I was initially expecting. It has a bit of action, some historical truths, and a found family that I absolutely adored. The ending had me crying and the author’s note had me smiling from ear to ear.

Thank you to Lake Union Publishing and Amy Harmon for gifting me with an e-arc to read and review.

Another great book by the talented Amy Harmon. This book really pulls on the heartstrings.

This book is about the infamous Butch Cassidy, but at its core it really is a love story. I can’t say I that I know much about Butch Cassidy, but I did enjoy this fictional take on his romantic life.

If you’re looking for an action packed Wild West story, this probably isn’t the book for you, but if you’re looking for a slow burn love story - this one is for you! Make sure to read the authors note at the end.

Thank you Amy Harmon and Lake Union Publishing for the eARC of this book.

"Another Captivating Tale and an Unlikely Hero by Amy Harmon. I couldn't stop reading until the very last page!"

Butch Cassidy was an electrifying figure in the history of the American west. Living near the end of the wild west period, his exploits lit the imagination of many, both young and old alike. Both a train and bank robber, he was an unrelenting outlaw, and yet with a reputation for caring for others. Amy Harmon picks-up on this dichotomy and creates a story intertwining Cassidy’s toughness, with his kindness and his commitment to uphold his word and maintain his honor.

This reader began the story with expectations of outlaw gangs, robbery and "cowhand" mayhem. Yet I found myself introduced to another side of this legendary outlaw and quickly became deeply attached to him and many other characters in his circle. The story flows briskly and the book is hard to put down as more and more complications enter Cassidy’s life. I very much appreciate Amy's writing; her clarity, and her stylish use of words to stir the reader's imagination and emotion. I highly recommend The Outlaw Noble Salt to readers who love to learn an imagined, alternative side of historical figures while appreciating great storytelling (and a great romance where you'd leas expect it!)
