A wonderful read. Ms Hagen blends historical accuracy, action and romance with a deft touch. The rawness of the Old West is realistic while at the same time she adds the small details of home life on the frontier. The story drew me in, kept me turning pages until the end and left me longing for more. I look forward to reading more from this talented author.
An Old Fashioned Western Love Story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A rough western with a romance, Texas Widow is a sweet story about two lonely people looking for fulfillment and companionship in the midst of hard times in post-Civil War Texas. There is the widow, raising her children and caring for the land left to her by her late husband, and the Ranger, a courageous, mysterious man who came looking for an outlaw, not a wife. Both people are drawn together by circumstance and need. The fact the story is based on real events and real people is intriguing.
Fast paced love story

I enjoyed reading this historical novel based on details of one family's true history that were passed down through several generations. It is a warm and engaging love story with many surprises and turn arounds. It held my attention all the way through. Sometimes I felt that I was seeing it as a movie in my mind's eye, a Western chick movie, at that. I recommend it.
