The Bounty is a great story about strong characters.Haley Harper is a stong woman, except when it comes to her hormones. She is after the bounty.Rafer Starr, of Shooting Starr, Incorporated, is a renowned bounty hunter. Admired even by Haley's dad, a bounty hunter in his own right.The bounty on Dolan Pike is 25,000 dollars. Haley needs this bounty to keep her one woman organization going. She certainly is not going to brook any interference from Starr.Except, wouldn't you know, Starr turns the tables on her and abducts her. Therein lies a great short story. Haley is not given much choice except to work with Starr. Of course, the hormones kick in and the attraction escalates.If she is pushing 40, how many kids does she think she can have?Both want children but whoa, they sure better hurry up.Any chance of finding out in a later story??????????Definitely recommended if you like kick butt action.
GREAT CATCH UP STORY OF HANK - LONG TALL TEXANS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I do agree - Hank's story should have been longer -- but it was still excellent.Hank Shoeman, of the Desperado Rock group and song writer, is being spied upon, probably by a sensation seeking reporter in his Colorado retreat.He is going to protect Amanda Sutton [of Sutton's Way] from the press as she is having a difficult time with her pregnancy.He grins, as he decides to abduct the reporter. A snow storm is coming down the mountain at the time and after he, a big bear of a man - 6 foot 5, carries Poppy O'Brien into his cabin an avalanch takes out the power - oh boy, no electricity.Strangely, Poppy does not feal physically threatened by Hank. He does try to convince her to exercise sexual freedom but she refuses. She is waiting for a husband and marriage. [good for her - she is one gutsy lady]Their pathway to love does have its humorous side - for the truly romantic this is one great story. Of Love, Tolerance, and Acceptance. For one not exactlly handsome man, he got one great lady! Hank's description and dilemma is well worth the read.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as are most of D.'s stories - a great addition to the Long, Tall Texans series.
good but too short a story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I enjoyed this story the best of the ones in this book. I was disappointed that it was so short. I think that it could have been a full-length novel instead of the short story that it is. I would like to see her give the other bandmembers their stories also, perhaps Ms. Palmer could have her own book of short stories based on the band
