COME THE SPRING by Julie Garwood

Okay guys, if you read my last post it was also about Julie Garwood and I am sad to say that I was left wanting, and not in a good way.  This book was better, much better and I advice all of you to read it, buy read it and add it to your library; you will not regret it.

A dozen robberies have been made over a two year period and not a clue as to who did them or how.  They were dubbed the name "The Backwater Gang" due to the name of the first town they hit, but things took a turn for the worse when they got a taste for killing.

Now every bank they hit, they leave no one alive.  This was not good news for the two Marshalls that were assigned to the case, Cole Clayborne and Daniel Ryan.  One of them have a very personal reason for finding the gang and the other was forced into it.

When the gang robbed another bank, they thought that they killed everyone in sight, but there was someone hiding and the marshall's finally have the witness that they needed when they saw what the witness have left behind.  To bad the witnesses would not fess up to what they saw, especially since she is a woman with a secret to protect. 

The marshalls went through all the people that entered the bank and saw that three woman entered the bank on the day of the robbery, and due to a stupid move by the town sheriff, these women have banded together and all three have given the same account of what happened at the bank.  Now the marshalls do not know who to believe and time is running out because The Backwater Gang, do no leave any witnesses behind, EVER.

Things become complicated when the marchelles are attracted to two of the woman and then this case turned from just catching the gang and letting them hang into trying to protect the women they love from suffering the same fate as the other witnesses.

This book is an excellent read for those of you who love big rugged men who uphold the law.  I fell in love with Cole when he ran into a burning building to save whoever was inside and how he had was to jump out the window before the whole house fell on top of them and then...

I don't want to give to much away no do I, but I will tell you that someone in the book is a traitor, and I so wanted them to burn or hang, or both.  This book would have to at the edge of your seat as you escape into the old west with shoot-outs, sheriffs and sleeping beneath the stars.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick.  The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part.  What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird.  It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter.  Bran knows that getting involved ...
