Review: One Real Cowboy by Janette Kenny

Sandy M’s review of One Real Cowboy by Janette Kenny
Historical Western Romance published by Zebra 1 Mar 07

It’s such a treat to find a book that has the true flavor, the real feel of cowboys, their lives and surroundings. Cordell Tanner, the hero of this book, walks, talks, and acts just like a man of the west should, as do all the other characters he deals with throughout the story.

Of course, the exception to that is Trixie, an English transplant who has fallen in love with her home in Kansas and resorts to a little deceit to make sure she keeps it, and a few of her relatives who figure significantly in the storyline later in the book. You’d think they’d be like fish out of water, but they actually take to the ranching life quite easily.

Sandy M’s review of Take Me Tonight (Bullet Catchers, Book 3) by Roxanne St. Claire
Contemporary romantic suspense released 27 Mar 07 by Pocket Star

I’m once again reading a book that takes place in the middle of a series and I get so caught up in it, I have to find the other books that I knew nothing about. Just one book is enough to pull me in this world of bodyguards. This Bullet Catchers series is witty, sexy, romantic, and has plenty of mystery and a downright evil villain or two. Each book is designed to stand alone, which makes me very happy. Read more

Book Alert: One Real Cowboy by Janette Kenny March 2007

New Western! From Zebra! At the really cool debut price! But it doesn’t come out until March 2007.

Straight From The Heart
Cord Tanner has a very simple plan: get paid to be Beatrix Northroupe’s husband for a month so the prim, but sexy, Englishwoman can gain rightful ownership of her family’s stud farm. Money in hand, he’s going to get as far away from Revolt, Kansas, as a fast horse can take him.

But Cord soon finds that he admires his Trixie’s reckless courage–not to mention she’s one great kisser. Maybe he’s crazy to hope for a real future with her instead of heading for the hills, but now that someone’s staking a dangerous claim to her farm, Cord’s decided to stick around as long as the lady needs protecting. That wedding ring he put on her finger means her reputation is safe–and he’s determined to win her heart. Cord Tanner may not be the most refined man on the frontier, but he sure is the lovingest…
