REVIEW: Kidnapped By The Cowboy by Pam Crooks

Kidnapped by the CowboyWendy the Super Librarian's review of Kidnapped By The Cowboy by Pam Crooks
Historical romance released by Harlequin Historical 1 June 08

Over the years, I've made no secret of my love and devotion for Harlequin Historical westerns. As a general rule, I buy all of them as they become available, and save them in my TBR for when I'm in need of a comfort read. This is how Kidnapped By The Cowboy came to be on my wish list. Unfortunately, after a bang-up prologue, I found myself increasingly annoyed by two characters who didn't actively use their brains.

hh-spotlight-logo.jpgby Pam Crooks

First off, I have to thank Sybil and her gang for taking Harlequin Historicals under their romance-lovin’ wings and giving us such a wonderful opportunity to talk about our books. We love you, Syb!

Okay – here we go. From the time man learned to climb on a horse, his competitive nature has instilled in him a love for racing. Wagering inevitably followed. Be it the thrill of the game, or the lure of riches in whatever form, and for whatever reason, cowboys all over the world have loved to race.

REVIEW: Untamed Cowboy by Pam Crooks

Book CoverShannon C.'s review of Untamed Cowboy by Pam Crooks
Western romance published by Harlequin Historicals 1 Jul 07

I really like westerns. Admittedly, I've not read many books in the genre, but I count LaVyrle Spencer's The Endearment as one of the best romances I read when I first found the genre. For me, the appeal of the western romance is that it involves characters who have to be strong and tough and show what they're made of. It is, in fact, the dirt that I love when it comes to westerns.

Christmas Day Family by Cheryl St. John

Marvel Anne Henley's life runs as regular as clockwork. Sometimes in the silence of her home she can hear the passing of days and months as years slip past. She doesn't believe in magic or miracles or happy-ever-afters. She's content running her boarding house and sewing dresses for the ladies of Patton Bend, Colorado. She agrees to board the new doctor for a few days, but when Nathaniel Hunter shows up with two small children and plans to stay for weeks, her household and her equilibrium are thrown into turmoil.

Nate is intriguing and vibrant and ready for a grand passion. She's too old for him, but the attraction is tempting...disturbing. He makes her want more, makes her feel young. The little family brings new life and laughter to the old house, but Nate's nearness taunts her secret out of its hiding place and forces her to face her past. It will take courage to bring her dreams back to life, but there's no better time for healing than during the season of hope and rebirth. It's not a miracle, but a simple change of heart that opens the door to their future.

FALLEN ANGEL by Jenna Kernan

When Ford Statler is ambushed, he never sees the woman caught in the crossfire until it's too late. But his bullet brought her down, so it's his responsibility to nurse her back to health and see that her boy has the best Christmas ever.

ONE MAGIC EVE by Pam Crooks

Lonely Sonja Kaplan doesn't want to spend another Christmas alone. While she has her secret government work to fill her days, she longs for a husband to fill her nights.

Chet Lattimer doesn't know the first thing about being a father when the six-year-old son he didn't realize he had bursts into his life. Worse, it's Christmas, and there's no one to help him celebrate except the mysterious woman the gossips call the Bird Lady.

But a little boy hungry for love helps them all find truth and peace, and together they revel in the magic of Christmas.

REVIEW: Untamed Cowboy by Pam Crooks

Book Cover Gwen's Review of Untamed Cowboy by Pam Crooks
Historical romance published by Harlequin Historicals 1 Jul 07

This novel is set in late 19th century Texas, Kansas, and the Indian Territory in between. The hero is a cowboy named Penn McClure (very cowboy name), and the heroine is Carina Lockett (very cowgirl name). The basic plot is she's a successful cattlewoman with a successful spread, a single mom trying to get her daughter back from a ne'er-do-well, and he's a former government agent returning to his cowboy roots to wreak revenge on the counterfeiter who killed his fiancee. The two get to know each other and fall in love on a cattle drive from Mobeetie, Texas to Dodge City (interesting map here).
