This book, a sequel to A Heart So Wild, started out fun despite its flaws. Unfortunately, the action started to wear thin after a while, and the ending was dragged out because of miscommunications. I hope you’ll forgive me if I call it a “mixed saddlebag.” Because of an argument with her parents, Casey Straton…
I love a good western, and thought this one was destined for my keeper shelf. It starts out great and shows some wonderful potential, but then loses steam about halfway through the story when the hero and the heroine start to spend too much time apart. Amelia O’Malley is traveling to Arizona as the representative…
When I first picked up Never Love a Cowboy by Jill Gregory, I was immediately reminded of all the Janet Daily western romances I read and loved fifteen years ago. I sat down and prepared myself to finish the book in one sitting. I was right; the book was very reminiscent of those old Daily…
The Rebel is the third installment in the Men of Pride County series, and it is definitely a departure from the other two. While the hero is a man from Pride County, almost all of the story is set in territorial New Mexico. And unlike the other two, the bulk of the story takes place…
This isn’t one of the worst books I have ever read, just one of the most boring. In fact, the way it started out was so odd that I rechecked the cover of the book just to make sure it was supposed to be a romance novel. The story begins with a cowboy racing wildly…
I first read Dream Fever in 1991 when I purchased the book from a little gift shop in a hotel by the San Francisco airport. I’m embarrassed to say the only reason I bought it was because it was signed by the author. I devoured it in hours – laughing, crying, desperate for the happy…
I don’t think that there is any sadder time in history than the American Civil War period. I used to read about those times a lot, until I watched the PBS series on the Civil War. Reading about the Civil War always depressed me, but after that series, I lost my enthusiasm for it, and…
The Outsider is a keeper. It’s also the second book in Rosalyn West’s The Men of Pride County series. Set in post-Civil War Kentucky, the series features a divided county trying to heal its war wounds. The hero of The Outsider was first introduced in the series’ first book – The Outcast. It definitely helps…
Seems to me I said sometime before, never read the second book first and the first book second. I still believe that, and even more so this time around. The Outcast is the first book in The Men Of Pride County series. It’s the story of Reeve Garrett, bastard son of Byron Glendower, and half-brother…
Maggie’s Wish is a fairly well-written, “married to the wrong man” kind of a story. It has some strong characterizations and a likeable hero and heroine. The setting, 1880s Prescott, Arizona, is well-described and interesting. If it weren’t for the heroine spending a little too much time worrying about the wrong man, it would be…
