Customer Reviews

Wonderful blend of romance and humor!

Gentleman Rafe Malone comes from the pages of "The Wedding Raffle" as the sexy, quirky former thieving friend of Luke Prescotts and starts his own brand of heat when he meets Mary Margaret St. John in this wonderful sequel to "Raffle". And yes, Luke, Honor and the funny Luella return in "Ransom". I believe the author, Geralyn Dawson, is going to keep weaving her magic until she's in the top ten list of romance writers. She just gets better and better!

I Loved it!!

Geralyn Dawson's The Wedding Ransom is truely heart warming story. "Gentleman" Rafe Malone is a fantastic hero and at one time he was the slickest theif in Texas. I've never seen anyone with four grandfathers and each one has a personality of their own. This book is heart warming, lovely, and with some funny scenes added into make a light hearted read that you won't want to put down.

A keeper to be reread over & over again!

Ms. Dawson writes from the heart. She makes you want more, and leaves you waiting impatiently for the next book to come out. While waiting it is nice to reread the others again and again. It is nice to find out what happens to the people you meet in other stories.

The sequal is even better than the original

While riding on his ranch on a pleasant day, Gentleman Rafe Malone, a former thief, decides to take an outdoor nap. He is awakened from his revelry by a sword pointed at his throat. Thus, Rafe has formally been introduced to four elderly pirates. Rafe calmly asks them what they are doing on his spread in central Texas rather than sailing the seven seas. The pirates explain their dilemma and tender a deal to Rafe if he can steal back their treasure. Rafe, yearning for the adventurous life he left, agrees to the terms of the cutthroats. When Rafe and the pirates' "granddaughter", Mary Margaret "Maggie" St. John meet for the first time, they both are bewildered by their attraction for each other. Though Maggie wants nothing to do with the charismatic rapscallion, she knows that she needs his help if she is to recover the stolen treasure of her "papas". Maggie will do anything, including risking her heart, to protect her pirates. The sequel to the classic THE WEDDING RAFFLE is a wonderful novel that proves that Geralyn Dawson is one of the top romance writers today. THE WEDDING RAMSON is an incredible blending of elements from the pirate romance sub-genre into a western romance story line that only someone of Ms. Dawson's caliber could successfully scribe. Fans will love Rafe's story even as the four senior knaves steal the show. This really is an incredible novel that will thrill fans of both sub-genres, thereby, widening the author's already wide appeal. Harriet Klausner
