Customer Reviews

Awesome

These 3 books are the best I have read in a long time. Although it doesn't matter about reading them in sequence, I recommend that Clay be read first.

Love this book

I can read any book from Ana Leigh, love all her books, like this one very much.

Colt and Cassie-SPOILERS

Favorite scene with Cassie- The cooking contest. This scene was just too funny. And yet Cassie and Sam won. Favorite scene with Colt- His conversation with Ted about Cassie. Together- Colt erasing Ted's message, and almost making love on the schoolroom floor. Colt had to show Cassie that living for a man who might never return would slowly kill her. She had to move on with her life, not live in the past. And it wasn't the right place and time to make love. What did you like about Cassie- Her strength and mischeviousness. She wasn't afraid to take risks, although sometimes I didn't think she was thinking. Her love for her family, and for Sam, Bowie and Petey. Her wanting to go to California with Colt. Being the first to tell Colt her feelings. How brave she was. That braveness and strength also saved her life many a times. What didn't you like about Cassie- It wasn't that I didn't like these traits, but there were times that I thought that Cassie didn't think. She took stupid risks, which almost endangered herself and others. She was also willing to marry Ted, although she loved Colt. She was also willing to give up her life, waiting for Ted to return to her. Cassie had a good heart, but it was killing her. What did you like about Colt- I loved his affection for the rugrats. I loved that the town and its people came to mean so much to him. He helped Jeff grow up, and he helped Jethro when he was ill. He was willing to put his life on hold to help others. I loved that he wanted to make love, not have sex, that he believed there was a big difference. He really wanted to be a lawman. It suddenly became more important than California. Colt had the town wrapped around his little finger. Everyone wanted him to stay. What didn't you like about Colt- It was the speech he made about how things would change, esp. the town. He loved the town and its people, and yet, although the truth, I can't believe he would say such a thing. Willing to leave town, esp. Cassie. If I had to cast Colt, I'd cast Billy Zane. If I had to cast Cassie, I'd cast Gwyneth Paltrow. http://romancereadingclub.blogspot.com/

fun western romance

Having served under Stuart for the Confederacy, Colt Fraser heads by stage on the Santa Fe Trail to California to meet up with his three siblings. Colt enjoys what would otherwise be a tedious trip because of his fellow rider, feisty spitfire Cassie Braden accompanied by her brother Jeff. Colt likes the pretty Cassie especially her courage and spirit. However, five armed robbers hold up their coach; in the ensuing chaos a somewhat drunk Jeff fires a shot. Colt, protecting Cassie, takes a bullet in his shoulder from the robbers. He is taken to nearby Arena Roja, Cassie's hometown, to receive medical attention. Colt learns that the next stagecoach to Santa Fe is not due through the small town until next week. As such Sheriff Braden, who needs help, persuades Colt to become his deputy temporarily in spite of some people objecting to a stinky Reb. As he performs law enforcement work for Cassie's father, Colt and Cassie begin to fall in love, but will the newly appointed deputy sheriff stick around long enough to recognize his feelings. The second "Fraser" western romance (see FRASER: CLAY) is a fabulous tale due to an eccentric cast including an obstinate steed, who makes Mr. Ed look like a team player. While the unconventional townsfolk either matchmake or try to run the Rebel out of town; either way they place the lead couple into some amusing situations. Fans will enjoy the antics while wondering whether Cole will stay or go. Ms. Leigh provides an enchanting Americana tale that sub-genre fans will cherish. Harriet Klausner
