Roses and Locoweed: The Life of a Cowboy's Wife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)this book is so much fun. It's a hard hitting look at life on ranches, with cowboys, and cowgirls who ride alongside the guys, rain, shine, cold, mud, or scorching heat. then they go home, cook dinner, bake bread, take care of the babies, and start all over again the next day. All without insurance, payback, or fancy vacation time. Wow, a reminder that a city girl might not want to manage that kind of life, but gosh, it's so down to earth that it is 'tempting'. So many georgeous sunsets, great horses, handsome cowboys...who can resist.

Waylon Jennings sings that cowboy's aint easy to love. He might have used the words: A cowboy's life aint easy to love. Freia Hooper-Bradford chronicles a life few wives are privileged to share. She couldn't have guessed what life would be like with a cowboy when she was a young woman, starry eyed and in love with a cowboy who looked like he just walked off the page in coffee table book about the Wild West. Being the wife a cowboy was everything she had dreamed about when she was a horse-crazy teenager. But life wasn't all roses, there was lots of locoweed. Along with the romantic west, the good horses, thrilling rides and living on God's most beautiful acres, there were the tough times. The vagabond life moving from ranch to ranch, always in search of greener pastures, better ridin', more ropin' and maybe an extra hundred dollars for the paycheck. There were the bad bosses, working in forty below and living in sagging old ranch houses. Freia chronicles the years following her cowboy with a sense of humor and poignancy. She accurately recounts the bad, tough times as well as the good life and the romantic west.

Sara's Gift: Comes the Crow Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just finished reading Sara's Gift: Comes the Crow and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a feel good book with plenty of teen drama and life lessons learned along the way. The main character Sara has a lot of common sense and it is nice to see a strong, confident and thoughtful heroine. Carol Stucki has managed to tell a great story that will keep young adult readers asking for more.

Desert Heat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Attempting to escape a rejected love turned stalker, Patience Sinclair heads south, to the rodeo. Originally, the trip was planned just to work on her disertation, but escape becomes the focus.
The rodeo is a whole new world. Cowboys, barrel racers, and courageous clowns have their own civilization in which Patience becomes enthralled. It has its own inherent romance, and Patience soon has to face her fears when she gets entangled with an overly amorous cowboy. Before trouble can get out of hand, she is rescued by the someone who won't be turned aside. Dallas embodies everything a man ought to be, and is willing to be there for Patience.
When the city girl learns that danger lurks even there, a serial killer is on the loose, she will need all her own skills and all of Dallas' courage to handle the situation. If she lives through it, it will be time to go home, and leave behind her heart. Can she do it, or is there another way?
**** Some writers pen such wonderful books that reviewers almost hate them; it's hard to write about the story without letting out too much, and then reading lesser books is painful. However, although Kat Martin fits this category, I don't want her to ever stop. She makes the settings and people seem real, yet still has the slight larger than life quality that makes reading her books an escape from reality. ****
