ONE OF THE FEW THAT ARE ACTUALLY 5 PLUSSSSSS

HA! big blond creep? - a jerk? ------- and Samantha [not a good girl]is excused for her part in the misunderstandings? Someone didn't read the same book I did -- RANSOM MY HEART by Gayle Wilson! And who the devil is Jim Wilson - at least get the author right, you guys! Gayle Wilson as is on the book! Please get this book listed under Gayle Wilson's book list. The two McCuller brothers are very close. An then Mac is killed. Chase is convinced that Rio Delgado is responsible. I guess that is known as "Kill the messenger." It turns out that Rio is his half-brother. Chase is a man of honor, at least he tries to be until Samantha seduces him. Her father has demanded that Chase stay away from her. Chase has been in love with Samantha since she was 17 but he is older than her. At 21 she seduces Chase and then they sure get their wires crossed, as he deals with Mac's death and his determination to put Rio in jail. Now Samantha knows she is pregnant but refuses to inform Chase - yup, bull-headed and stubborn just like her daddy. He still has no use for Chase. So many little things lead to their estrangement. Ah, but Sam Kincaid wants the best man for the job, when his granddaughter is kidnapped. Lucky for Samantha that it turns out to be Chase. He would do anything for her. Now to deliver the ransom money, which takes Chase and Samantha on practically a wild goose chase. They get ambushed and suddenly Samantha finds out that Chase still wants her and maybe she had gotten things all wrong about him. Yup! just like all women who operate on their emotions. It turns out that Samantha and Chase dealing with a true Mexican gentleman as a kidnapper. But then who wants to kill them?? Finally these two learn to follow their hearts and make a family. Chase is still willing to give Sam what he wants. A grandson! "HOME TO TEXAS" series is starting out with a bang and I hope it just keeps getting better. This is definitely a keeper! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- Even though Samantha is a twit. Now onto Rio's story - "Whisper My Love" - 5 years in prison, UGH!

The best book I've read in a long time!

This was definitely the best book I've read in ages! While some readers might feel that Chase is a jerk, if you read carefully, you'll know that he didn't mean the things he said, and he knew from the beginning that he loved Samantha with all his heart. This is one of those books where I couldn't wait for the end, and then when it came, I wanted more! Please, Gayle, write another book about Chase, Samantha and Mandy!

The Best of Harlequin!

We have read almost all of the Harlequin books, and this one interested us the most!!! We thought that Samantha should have told Chase in the beging about Amanda being his daughter.We can understand why Samantha loves him, but why did he have to be such a Jerk to her?! Ugghhh!

Great, Except for One Big Problem...

"Ransom My Heart" is a great book, except for one BIG problem: the hero is a complete jerk. In the prologue that sets up the story, he has sex with the heroine, then casts her to the side for reasons that really don't hold any water for anyone with a brain. We move ahead five years, where the man, Chase McCullar, is hired to find the kidnapped daughter of his one-time love, Samantha Kincaid. Although Samantha is mysterious about the girl's father, the reader already knows who it is the whole time. That doesn't detract from the story, though, as they have to struggle through a danger-fraught trip through Mexico to find the girl, only to discover secret dangers lingering back in Texas... Wilson's action sequences are great, I liked Samantha (especially for putting up with the Big Blond Creep, Chase), but he ruined the book for me. Arrogant, condescending, and insufferably rude, I wanted her to knock him over the head through just about all of the book. Frankly, I couldn't understand why Samantha would even want him, considering the way he treated her, but I guess if the cover art is any indication, she thought his looks were good enough.This is the first book of Wilson's "Home to Texas" trilogy, and it makes for a good beginning. Unfortunately, Chase plays a prominant role in the other two, "Whisper My Love" and "Remember My Touch," and he's a jerk in both of those too. Fortunately, a development in that last book takes him out of most of it, something that we all can be grateful for. All three books are worth checking out.

Ransom My Heart held my heart hostage -

right up to the last page. I fell in love with Chase and Samantha's romance. This book, the first in a three part McCullar series, was the perfect mix of romance and drama. I've already started the second book, Whisper My Love and can't wait to get to Jenny's story in Remember My Touch. Gayle Wilson is going on my permenant to be bought list!!
