Customer Reviews

SO GREAT! Can't wait for the whole series!!!!

I love these books! I can't wait for all of them. Every one of the Hells Eight MEN are ture MEN. Hollywood has subjected us to metro-sexual men for so long that it's nice to read and imagine about what real MEN are like...they take charge and take what they want! I recommend these books to all my girlfriends. We have them read in less then two days!

Best of the Series

I really enjoyed this book. I think the chemistry between Tucker and Sally Mae is real and convincing. I know there has been some criticism about all the "thees" and truthfully, that can be annoying but after awhile I just automatically started inserting "you" or "your" when needed. The "thees" are not a fatal flaw. This is still a 5 star book so don't let that stop you from getting this book. In my opinion, it is the best of the Hell's Eight series and second only to Promises Linger, which I think is Sarah McCarty's best book. Dena

Thee are not going to like how she speaks in thy book

One of my absolute favorite authors and the Hell's Eight series is awesome. Such a well written book with great depth in the characters and some of the hottest love scenes ever written. My only complaint is the dialog and how Sallie speaks. I get that she's a Quaker and all but her dialog in the book drove me nuts with 'Thee' and 'Thy' - it just didn't work for me - like nails on a chalkboard. I had to skim the parts where she spoke because it was starting to ruin a really great story. There was a couple times when she would use a modern reference in the dialog that seemed out of place and then start up with 'thee' and 'thy' again. Either way, this is the 3rd book in a super hot series so don't pass them up. Can't wait for Tracker's story in 2010!

Loved It!

I was also a little skeptical about the cowboy/quaker relationship but this story turned out to be one of the best from the Hell's Eight series. I felt like a fly on the wall reading the scenes. Tucker is one of those men women just love....a tall dark hunk with a fierce possessiveness of his woman and will do what it takes to make her happy. One of my most favorite scenes was when Sally Mae returned from picking up groceries and Tucker asks her if she got everything she needed. When she says "no", he asks, "what did you want, baby". I was a goner!!! The drawl and vividly written scenes transports you back in time. I like how Ms. McCarty keeps the rest of the Hell's Eight included in each book. And she does not disappoint with the erotic love scenes! Hot, hot, hotttttt!!!!! I can't wait to read the next one on Tracker. I bet he will be the one who finds Ari and falls in love with her.

McCarty Does it Again!

I wasn't sure I'd like Tucker's Claim. I'm not sure why but the concept of a Quaker love interest with one of the Hell's Eight didn't seem far possible to me. McCarty once again made a believer out of me! Sallie is believable and it is very easy to crawl into her skin. I enjoyed the depth added to this story of pacifism versus the total cowboy/warrior idea of the old west. Once again the sex is smokin' and you can hear the bootsteps on the floor as she spins the scene. I read this book in two days and will have to do a re-read because the Hell's Eight editions cannot come out fast enough for me! Thank you Sarah for another GREAT read!
