Bandita Bonita and Billy the Kid: The Scourge of New Mexico
From True West Magazine
Picking up shortly after the end of the Lincoln County War, Nicole Maddalo Dixon’s sequel to Bandita Bonita: Romancing Billy the Kid (Sunstone Press, $22.95) continues the story of Lucy Howard, the fictional female member of the Regulators and her complicated romance with Billy the Kid. Though Bandita Bonita and Billy the Kid: The Scourge of New Mexico will appeal to women more than men, the attention to historical detail is impressive. From appearances by Jesse Evans to Dr. Henry Hoyt, historical purists should be immensely entertained by the number of real characters the author manages to weave into the narrative, itself written in the flowery and somewhat verbose prose of the 1880s.
--John LeMay, author of Tall Tales and Half Truths of Billy the Kid
