Summary: Heartbreaking but I love it....
Review: Ok. I think I love all of Lorraine Heaths books but this is one of my favorites. Harry, an Englishman, came to America with two of his friends (Kit and Gray) to make something of himself. Having been mistreated as a young child by his mother, Harry doesn't believe in love. During the first book in the trilogy (A Rogue in Texas), where his friend Gray finds the woman of his dreams and gets married, he meets Jessye. She's a no nonsense woman who says it like it is, even if it's not the nicest or most appropriate. They clash but ultimately become friends. In "Never Love a Cowboy" the story continues and they become closer. However, tragedy strikes, and what the characters go through is heartbreaking (I won't tell you, you'll just have to read the book). I love Harry who is the perfect gentleman (I'd love to know where they got the model for the inside book cover). All I can say is that Lorraine Heath is an outstanding author who really knows how to bring feelings into a book. I can't wait for the final book (Kits story). It won't be released until January of next year. :-(

Summary: omg
Review: The other reviews outline the plot pretty well, so let me just say, this book is awesome. I have pretty high standards and I find myself disappointed more often than not by what other people rate as five star books. This however has the flawed (emotionally and, later, physically) hero, the less-than-perfect heroine, and a good plot. Within a week of buying it, I had read it three times. the only two romance novels I have ever read that were better were Echoes in the Dark, by Gayle Wilson, and The Horseman's Bride, by Marilyn Pappano. And I've read a lot of romance novels.

Summary: An OK Read-Not Up To The Standards Of Author's Other Works
Review: This is the second novel in the author's Englishman in Texas trilogy. The second novel is not as good as the first, and, in no way, compares to the author's Texas series. This is the story of Harry, sent to Texas from England to learn about life by his father. Harry pursues Jessye, but only for sex. Due to his upbringing he has no heart left to give. One of my problems with this book is Harry's whining over his upbringing. I never heard a man whine about the lack of love in his childhood, and I hope I never do - it is a real turn-off!
There are plot twists and a lot of unbelievable coincidences throughout this book. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't describe them. My general complaint is that things became very unbelievable and really hurt the plot of the book.
In summary, this is an enjoyable book, but it is not a keeper.

Summary: Grab a hankie!
Review: This story picks up where A ROGUE IN TEXAS leaves off. Since Grayson Rhodes has married and settled in this wild, untamed country, Harrison Bainbridge and his friend Kit are left to find their own fortune. Deciding to explore the cattle market, they turn to Jessye Kane, the daughter of Fortune's saloonkeeper for investment funds.Harrison would be willing to venture into another mutually satisfying relationship with the beautiful Jessye, but she refuses his attentions. Instead, she agrees to the business partnership, but will only take Kit as a full partner. He desires Jessye more than any woman he's ever known, her intelligence and wit only add to her attractiveness. For all his playful innuendo and his true desire, he knows he can't pay the price she demands. He can't love anybody. Jessye believes Harry to be self-serving and downright lazy. She also recognizes that the handsome Harry is the one man who can crack the walls of her heart--so she must keep him away at all costs. As their venture progresses, however, she realizes she might have figured Harry all wrong. Beneath his flip attitude she senses a soul as wounded as hers, and recognizes a man whose past has left its mark on him, just as hers has. When Harry is severely injured while attempting to save her life, Jessye pledges to make him the man he once was, if not in body then in spirit. She will also challenge this headstrong gambler to take the greatest chance of all, by risking his heart on love. Once again Ms. Heath has written a beautiful story full of adventure, passion and endearing characters. This tale will bring a tear to your eye, as smile to your lips, and a sigh to your heart. I couldn't hardly put the book down! Bravo, Ms. Heath!
