Hidden Fires by Sandra Brown

Sandra Brown is well-known for her contemporary novels, but Hidden Fires is an example of one of her attempts at a historical romance novel. The characters, plot, setting, and conflict of the novel are very typical, nothing special or out of the ordinary. Not too complicated, not too sensual, and not too surprising, Hidden Fires…

Outlaw Love

When I first began reading Romance, I didn’t know where to start. I went to my local UBS and stood amidst the isles, overwhelmed by the 7.56 bazillion titles from which to choose. With a crick in my neck from reading all those titles sideways, and bleary-eyed from all those different-yet-alike pictures of half-naked couples,…

Texas Glory

Texas Glory begins five years after the conclusion of Texas Destiny. The events in that book are cleverly woven into the story line of Texas Glory, so it is not necessary to have read it to understand this one, but trust me, you do want to read Texas Destiny. Dallas Leigh’s dream is beginning to…

Buck

In the course of reading this book, I put it down several times. I kept expecting it to get better, liven up a little, but it never did – it’s just flat-out boring. And, since this is the third book in the series, if you haven’t read the preceding two stories, Jake and Ward, parts…

Buck

When you sit down to read a book, it’s sometimes hard to get into it when it’s the next in a series and the first two books really didn’t do it for you. That’s how I felt when I began to read Leigh Greenwood’s next book in his Cowboys series, Buck. It’s amazing, though, how…

Nobody’s Darling

Nobody’s Darling is not like any other western I’ve read in the past (which isn’t saying much). It is a delightfully funny book whose author boldly uses every western cliché known and does it well. At least in parts one and two. Part three is another story, however, and it is there that this book…

Ward by Leigh Greenwood

Well, I have to say that I liked Ward better than I liked Jake, but this series still lacks the spark of the Seven Brides series. I feel like I’m going to harp here but again, Ward lacks tension; it lacks some real interest to get things going, and this does not bode well for…

Ward

Reading a Leigh Greenwood is like reading a play, almost straight dialogue. He’s a storyteller, and that’s fine, the characters all have their say, but the reader is left to fill in most of the details. While Ward’s story was okay, it left me feeling like I was missing something. By comparison, Jake was a…

Jake by Leigh Greenwood

Jake Maxwell has just returned from the Civil War to find his family’s land stolen and his cattle scattered all over Texas. While Jake was off fighting for what he believed in, mean-spirited and greedy farmers have destroyed what he had set out to build. Now they want Jake to pay reparations for the damage…
