Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lori does it again
Review: A wonderful coming of age story that captures the reader from the start. Lori weaves another tale with interesting characters that the reader not only cares about, but identifies with as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Anticipation is well worth the reward.
Review: Anticipation took on a whole new meaning for me awaiting this title from prolific author Lori Foster.

Casey is the end of the The Buckhorn Brothers series . . . a fitting, yet sad, end. And sad, only because we are always going to want more Buckhorns! Fitting, because Casey stole our heart from the first book in this series, Sawyer. Casey is the son of the eldest Buckhorn, who, along with his three brothers, stole the hearts of every Lori Foster fan. We all knew Casey was going to get his own book. Yet, did this knowledge or anticipation try to deliver too much?

Not at all. What Casey did was to leave us satisfied, while a bit sad that we can only revisit the Buckhorns by re-reads. This is not a problem, really. Just kind of sad. You see, when Lori does connected books, she brings in the intense romantic love combined with family values that can make you green with envy . . . happy families do exist. Don't think that there weren't sad moments, though. That's a given since family is a feal factor in these books. Then, throw into the pot lots and lots of steamy moments. Add to that Lori's unique voice and you are always guaranteed a wonderful read.

Casey finds himself back with the one woman who affected him as no other. Emma found herself back with the one man who did the same to her. Where would it go? Would it even be safe to find out? Perhaps it'd be best to leave fantasies to fantasies and to not touch reality.

When fans of Lori's read this book, they will place it high up on their keeper shelf and whenever the name Casey is heard will think fondly of the Buckhorn men.

Pick up Casey and the rest of the series, if you don't already have them. You will NOT be disappointed. Thanks Lori for another great read.

Summary: Another Sizzler from Lori Foster
Review: CASEY by Lori Foster is the final book in the Buckhorn Brothers series originally published back in 2000 by Harlequin Books. This time, Casey gets the big book treatment and what a delight these 290+ pages are.

When we last saw Casey Hudson, the son of Sawyer Hudson and the nephew of Morgan, Gabe and Jordan, he was just reaching adulthood facing not only his future, but the wrath of a angry man...the father of Emma Clark, a close friend of his. Readers were left hanging, wondering what happened to Casey and Emma. In CASEY, we find out.

The story opens with an expanded version of what happened that night and what transpired for the young Casey and Emma. She left that night, never to be seen again until she shows up in town to visit her sick father. Casey, in the meantime, becomes a successful businessman and still remembers Emma and wonders what happened to her. They meet the first night she is back, and the sparks still fly.

Casey wonders why Emma is back in town to see her father, when the man was mean to her. Ultimately he learns the truth. In the meantime, they explore their relationship, only this time as adults. Casey is determined that Emma stay in town this time and does a good job convincing her, both in bed and out of bed. As always, Ms Foster knows how to write a steamy romance that curls your toes and makes you reach for ice water, with characterization that is honest and true.

Sometimes sequels, or long awaited stories, do not live up to a reader's expectations. With CASEY, the anticipation was worth it. The words flowed and I hated to put it down. I learned what happened to Casey and the rest of the Buckhorn town folks, including Sawyer and his brothers. I got introduced to new characters. (Loved the Nurse named Lois) A subplot in the book was a romance between Ceily, the waitress seen in the Buckhorn series books, and a male friend of Emma's. It went well with the rest of the story, and the ending of the book helped tie up the loose ends for the characters. It was great seeing the brothers again and their interaction with one another.

If you are looking for a steamy romance with a story of families that are close and great characters, then you must read CASEY. The whole Buckhorn Series has been delightful reading for me and I know for others. I can't wait to read the next Lori Foster book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Buckhorn book yet!
Review: Casey is the last story in the Buckhorn series, and it's the best one yet. I got so involved in the story that I couldn't put the book down! I loved the way Casey and Emma evolved, both as individuals, and in their relationship. I liked seeing Emma gradually let Casey in on the details of her past - and how he figured some things out on his own. Seeing how Casey and Emma treated each other, each realizing that the other had changed and grown over the years, and watching them adjust to the changes. Seeing how Emma was so easily accepted by Casey's family as one of their own - as a scared teenager, and as Casey's wife. I loved the way all of the Buckhorn brothers and their families were involved in the story, too. It was also great to see Ceily have a romance of her own. I wasn't too sure about Damon at first, then I realized it was because I had been seeing him through Casey's eyes! It's sad to see the Buckhorn series end, but I'm sure I'll be back for plenty of visits.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sweet addition to the Buckhorn series
Review: Casey is the story of ... well, Casey, son of Sawyer and nephew of Morgan, Gabe and Jordan (all of whom feature in this tale). Casey has appeared as a youngster in the other Buckhorn stories, but here he's grown up and finds his own future in the form of Emma Clark. Emma had been a wild, troubled young teen with a well deserved reputation. Casey had been her only friend, and she had adored him as well as wanted him desperately. But Casey had plans for his future and they did not include Emma. To his credit, he had not taken advantage of Emma. Emma was in desperate straits and turned to his family for help, which of course they gave to her, but that very night she snuck out to make something of herself and her life. Something she couldn't do in Buckhorn with the reputation she carried and the family she had.

Eight years later she has returned to visit her ill father. Casey is almost the first person she meets in town - a Casey who has matured as she has. But one thing hasn't changed, and that is the attraction between them...

Foster has written rather a sweet romance here, a tender story of a strong man and a troubled woman who has finally found her place in life. Emma's relationship with her pseudo big brother Damon is naturally touching, as is the strong feelings the entire Hudson clan share for each other and those they care about. The heat between Emma and Casey occasionally flares strong, but for the most part is more a constant simmer. It was great having a central female character that was proud of who she had become, and accepted who she had been. The book is perhaps not as erotically charged as some of Fosters other books, but it is a great story of a woman finding her feet, and a man finding his woman.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-read for any romance fan!
Review: Crafting Casey's story had to be a tough job for Lori Foster, after the incredible build-up of the character in previous books and the high anticipation factor from fans...but she pulled it off fantastically.

Casey, last a teen when we saw him, has grown into a wonderful man and hero readers will love: smart, supportive, sexy and kind-hearted. His sensitivity to Emma's emotions was as heart-melting as his unabashed physical desire for her. Emma's hard-earned strength and self-confidence was rewarding to see after learning her less than ideal past, and her unapologetic attitude about her sexuality and sexual history is refreshing.

Their chemistry together is fabulous, with Foster expertly creating a balance between sexy and friendly. The sexual tension between them never feels forced or contrived, and it leaves you with greater anticipation for the next scene.

The story provides a nice look at the family as a whole, at how they've expanded and bonded over the past 8 years, a perfect contrast to Emma's dysfunctional family. I would have liked for the secondary romance to be fleshed out more, but the well-developed focus on Casey & Emma made up for it. It was a fitting end to the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Second chances -- Very highly recommended
Review: Emma Clark's notorious reputation can rival anyone's in Buckhorn, Kentucky. Unfortunately, what makes a man a stud makes a woman a whore, and, at seventeen, already Emma endures the gossip and the label. Her innate sensuality attracts every boy in school but one; the only one she truly wants. The late one night, her tense family situation escalates and she arrives, with a bruised cheek an outraged father, on the Hudson doorstep. She had told her family that she was pregnant.

Casey Hudson will not let his plans get sidetracked regardless of his need for Emma. Indeed, Casey learned a lot from his family about how to treat women, but he never learned how to cope with Emma. When admits to not being pregnant, Emma stays the night with the Hudsons, before disappearing. A search does not turn up the teenager, and resources are quickly diverted to a more immediate problem. Still, Casey not forgot the girl who got away. When she suddenly returns to Buckhorn eight years later, Casey cannot stifle long-buried emotions and passions.

Clashing family backgrounds and desperate need bring Casey and Emma together in CASEY, before decisively dividing them once again. This second chance at forever can only come with blistering honesty and scorching need. Unfortunately, Emma guards secrets that threaten her chances for forever. Secondary characters, including favorites from the past and B.B. Emma's delightful dog result in a passionate, tension filled plot that is uniquely inventive. Such marvelous characterizations have made author Lori Foster one of the most dazzling authors in the industry, as she once again proves with her deft ability of balancing the wild side with strong integrity. Very highly recommended.

Summary: Loved this book
Review: I enjoy this genre books best because the characters are a lot more fun than in most other genres. I am a fan of Loris Foster so naturally I think anything she writes will be good, so, all I can advise other possible readers of this book is, that if you have not had a chance to read any of Ms. Fosters great stories, this book would be the perfect book to start with!
