You NEED to read Stacey Kayne's books

I just finished Stacey Kayne's "Wild" series and all three books were wonderful! I was really sad to see them come to an end but pushed aside my grieving :) to begin her other series starting with "Bride of Shadow Canyon". I couldn't believe how good this book was. I had high expectations and was sure I'd be in for a letdown after three other amazing books, but Stacey Kayne does not disappoint! She does a fabulous job at really creating relationships between the reader and character. I loved everything about both Jed and Rachell in this story! The part I found especially refreshing was that the two main characters actually communicated with each other from very early on. Yippee! Seems like so many romance novels wait until the last pages for open dialogue between man and woman. I must admit, Jed had me pining for him from the first time I met him. A real man in every sense of the word. Now, if only I could find him in the real world....and what would my husband say? :)

WOW, WHAT A GREAT READ.

This was the first book that I've read by Stacey Kayne and I was not disappointed. In fact, just the opposite. Wow, what an amazing story, and so very well written. From the very first page, to the very last, Stacey took you on a wonderful journey. I love the characters. There was never ending action, and drama. I couldn't get enough of Jed, and really liked, Rachell as well. When I later looked up Stacey's website, I was pleased to see she had another book with Juniper as the main character. I'll have to get that one. I would rank Stacey's writing and ability to tell a story with captivating characters, right up there with Jodi Thomas and Linda Lael-Miller. When I see her name in the future on the bookshelf, I won't be able to resist picking up her latest novel and purchasing it. It's always nice to find a new/exceptional author.

A great read !

On every page something happens and that is what I like most about this book. Not a dull moment! A great hero who has no intention to let a red-haired little missile mess up his life but he stands no change against the innocent showgirl. Rachel knows what she wants and she knows how to get it. Jed Doulan fights her all the way but it's impossible for him to resist the stubborn beauty. Bound by a hasty marriage they travel together and Jed really does his best to keep his hands to himself. No luck! Stacey Kayne writes about Cowboys and Indians as if she lived with them for years and her writing really brings you back to those wild and dangerous days. I loved the part where Rachel and Jed spend time with Running Bear and his family and it made me want to be there. This book will give you a very happy day and it definitely made me look for other books by Stacey Kayne.
