Summary: YUCK!
Review: Uninspiring, saccharine and totally Hollywood, I read it to the end in the hope that maybe I was just missing something good. Nada.

Summary: Tough and satisfying account of a woman's adventure in love
Review: When I began this non-fiction account of a woman writer and her attraction to a cowboy, I felt anxious somehow, and nearly put it down. However, the strong storyline pulled me farther, and soon I became locked into her struggle and didn't want it to end. I realized that my discomfort at first might have been due to the complete honesty with which she dares to reveal her feelings, despite the obvious facts that the relationship will never work. Sara is tough on herself. I wanted to warn her just as her friends did, but on the other hand, I wanted to meet this cowboy myself! Of course, that's the best part--living vicariously without the pain. This book will rope you and tie you down. The characters are intriguing and the style is hard and tight.

Summary: Every woman should have a man like Zack in her life.
Review: Women will read this book for romance but it should be read by men as well so they will know how to do all the special things Zack did for Sara. Not many women have a man touch/caress, sweet talk or bring such pleasure to her and not many men know how to! I didn't read this book to dissect it for grammar or content; anyone who does is missing what Sara was trying to convey. I read it purely for the way these two people responded to each other in a way that many of us crave and never find in a lifetime. I want my own Zack!

Summary: A curious combination of memoir and fiction.
Review: Written by one of the writers for the TV show, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Davidson is a highly intelligent, well-educated lady that meets and falls in love with a cowboy from rural Arizona. Zack, who has knowledge of life on a different level, has grown up in the tradition of the old west. He is a man who works with his hands creating original and authentic bridles from strips of leather, a long lost art form. He has yet to hear of the Holocaust or the New York Times. This unlikely relationship progresses with all the properties of oil mixed with water at times while the underlying current is one of intense sexual attraction and love. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are strong and believable as odd as it might seem. You can't help but love them as they stumble along trying to make it all work. Sara is an incredible mom of two children that play a pivotal part in all of her decisions. She allows us to see her human side and shares her confusion as well as her problem solving capabilities, most of all she has heart. I for one thank her for a story well told. I can't help but wonder what part of the story is fiction. Kelsana 5/22/01
