Summary: Thank you LH for not letting me down
Review: My mistake was before I read the book, I read a review - a review of how the lead woman, Mary, was weak. It doesn't make you weak when you know what you want. Honestly, I would see Mary anything BUT weak! She went out of her way to help a young man get an education.
Mackenzie's Mountain is a great book. The only downpoint I saw was that the first few chapters started out pretty fast, but the rest of the book was so enjoyable.
I can't wait to read what happens with Joe in Mackenzie's Mission!

Summary: Well written as always...but...heroine was a tad stupid?
Review: I do NOT like to knock a Howard because she is one of my FAVORITE authors, but this heroine was way over the top in the 'stupid department.' I realize this was written in the 1980's when the heroine was expected to be shy and reserved and virginial, yet strong and independent, but she came out as stupid (wince...I am so sorry Ms Howard) and very, very unbelievably ignorant of men and the world in general. She gave off this 'kill 'em all' attitude that just was nausiating to me.
A 29 year old spinster extrordinaire with a knack for letting the readers and the hero listen to her moronic and irritating dribble about her uptight and weird Aunt Ardith's rules of conduct got to be too much for me and I just lost any respect for her or why the hero Wolf would even like her.
A few of the secondary characters called her 'goody-goody' and I have to agree. She was a little too perfect and old fashioned for her age. Wolf deserved much better. The naivety was so bad that I was shaking my head and laughed outright when Wolf whispered a 'dirty' word in her ear about the sex act he'd like to perform on her and she had the gall to act confused and ask him what it meant and to show her. Whatever. Anyway, this is the 1980s, not the 1880s. Come on, get real.
This is the first in the Mackenzie series, which includes MacKenzie's Mission, MacKenzie's Pleasure, MacKenzie's Magic and A Game of Chance.Mary Elizabeth Potter is a spinster in every way imaginable. The clothes and the 'sensible shoes' she wears. She has no idea if she will ever fall in love and doesn't look for it. Things change when she volunteers to go to the small town of Ruth, WY as a schoolteacher. She is a great teacher and puts her whole self into teaching children.
One child gets her attention, Wolf MacKenzie's son. She must convince his father he belongs back in school, not at home working. Getting stranded on his mountain wasn't her plan, but nevertheless, Wolf comes upon her and thinks she must be an idiot.
Mary proves that his son is made for more and tutors him. Wolf realizes he can love again, even if he is an ex-con half-breed. But the town doesn't approve and lets them know.
Can they get past the racism that simmers below the surface and be accepted? Tracy Talley~@

Summary: Gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling....
Review: This was a good one.... very sweet (& hot!) romance, good story about a town that needed redemption. Just loved both the hero, Wolf, and his son, Joe.... their life, their values (Wolf's body... lol); was so grateful to see them get what they really deserved out of life - it gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling that I just love. Really liked the heroine, Mary; although she was a bit naive in some respects, I thought she really deserved the title 'heroine'.... I greatly admired her courage. Her attention to, respect for, and relationship with Wolf's son, Joe, was just awesome also. I can never say enough about the respect people deserve who take the time to develop those type of relationships with step-kids or kids that have hurt that bad. LH won me over to Mary's character right away with Mary's concern and consideration for Joe.
I would recommend this one to anyone that likes to have a warm fuzzy feeling when the book is over......
