Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Legacy
Review: I have read this book several times and never tire of it. Lots of adventure and romance that I can recommend to my teen youth group. Easy reading that allows a quick escape from the present, but watch out! You may not want to come back!! Can't wait to get more of this series and other Al Lacy books.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An action-packed shoot-em-up with a moral undertone.
Review: This book is great for readers who prefer small, vignette-style stories within a novel, rather than a long, drawn-out, well explored single storyline. Although some out-of-place wording was distracting (in a story set just after the Civil War, dialogue concerning another character's "big ego" is a bit premature, as "ego" is a twentieth century word), the storyline moves along at a fairly quick pace. Written so that the reader is given the point of view of both heroine Breanna Baylor and hero John Stranger, this book contains equal amounts of action and romance. Set on a foundation of solid Christian morals, it is sure to be enjoyed by the portion of the population that needs a little adrenaline kick with appropriate thought-provoking life-lessons attached.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Western
Review: This book was better than I expected it to be. The initial western action was well developed and explosive. True, the Stranger turned into a bit of a superhero, dodging bullets and beating thugs, but it was kept as plausible as possible. I was surprised and a bit pleased that Lacy didn't shy away from the Western violence.

My only complaint was Breanna's constant reference to 'the man she loved'. One mention is necessary, two is allowable, but 10 times is getting a bit redundent.

Other than that, a better than normal Christian Western.
