4.5 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!

Georgina Gentry's newest release, DIABLO, treats readers to a look at previous beloved characters as well as introduces brand spanking new ones. The constant of this western historical romance is revenge at any cost. Or is it? Can one man change the path he has been on for love? Half-breed Diablo is a much feared hired killer. Men are scared of him and the women want him. Only, they don't know what is in his heart. The only thing that has kept him alive is his quest for revenge on the man who scarred him and almost murdered him years ago. Starved, cut, and beaten, Diablo swore upon his honor that the man who hurt him would pay. And so he searches. When some ranchers from Wyoming hire him, Diablo jumps at the chance to wreak havoc on the man that left him for dead so long ago. How does Diablo intend to hurt this man? Why take away his most prized possession, of course! Diablo is the typical male half breed warrior. He is sleek, sexy, and scarred. His persona is that of a `devil' but underneath his harsh veneer, there is still a young man in there looking for someone to love him without seeing his impurities and scars. Sunny is that type of woman. She is bright, beautiful, and innocent. She is everything Diablo has ever wanted but knows he can't have. His plot for revenge is a god one - he just didn't count on finding the woman he has been yearning for his entire life. In my eyes, Georgina Gentry is the queen of western historical romances. Her heroes are rough and tumble and her heroines are innocent. The paths to their `happily ever after' are never simple - most of the time there is an obstacle for her characters to overcome. DIABLO is no different but it is so much more than a simple story. DIABLO shows how the love of a woman, the true love of a woman, sees beyond scars and past deeds. It shows how unconditional love and acceptance can bring peace to even the hardest of the hard and most of all, it explores forgiveness and how difficult that one act can be. With heady love scenes and wicked dangerous fight scenes, DIABLO grasped my hand and led me in to watch in animated silence the entire plot unfold. I was a fan before reading DIABLO and now I consider myself elevated to `in awe' fan girl status after finishing this exquisite novel! Natalie S.

exciting western romance

His white mother was raped by his Sioux father. He suffered the same fate when rancher Hurd Kruger and his men tortured and raped him. They failed to break him. Instead they hardened his heart with a need to one day avenge his affront. He became a mercenary gunfighter waiting for the right moment to encounter Hurd. By 1892 fifteen years since the atrocity he suffered occurred and now Diablo as he is known, is traveling to Wyoming to confront and kill his demon. He learns Kruger plans to marry Sunny Sorrenson; which gives Diablo a powerful weapon to use against Hurd. Diablo assassinates Kruger's men, steals from his adversary, and abducts Sunny. However, instead of capturing her, she captures his heart as he revises his goal to keeping her safe. This is an exciting western romance starring a nasty hero who finds redemption when he falls in love with brave caring Sunny. The story line combines a harsh dark backdrop of sexual predators assaulting the innocent with the pureness of the relationship between the lead couple. Interestingly whereas as she brings out his inner decency; he brings out her inner fortitude. Readers will enjoy this saga of vengeance and redemption battling for control of a soul in the wild west.
