Summary: ction packed storyline
Review: In 1874 Sidewinder, Texas, sixteen-year-old Chase McBride comes to his father's ranch for the first time at the request of his dying mother, Morning Sun. Chase's mother wants to see her beloved son one last time, but the rancher tells Chase to leave as he has a real family consisting of a wife and three children. He tells Chase to never return. The teen leaves filled with hatred.In 1886, Texas Ranger Chase receives a note from an attorney stating that if any heirs want to inherit a share of the Circle M Ranch, they must arrive on site within nine months of the date of the letter. At first he was going to ignore the note, but soon learns that outlaw Blackie Sherwood, a Ranger killer, is hiding in the area so Chase goes. When Faith Bryant escapes from Indians, her fiance ends their engagement, as she is no longer pure. Chase offers to marry her. Besides seeking a murderer, Chase has to deal with a family who hates him enough to apparently want him dead. The second novel in Bobbi Smith's The Secret Fires series, THE HALF- BREED, is an exciting Texas romance that brings alive the mid 1880s. The story line is action-packed and filled with angst from start to finish as the strong characters generate feelings from the audience not often seen in a western romance. The award winning Ms. Smith shows why she is so highly regarded with a novel that will send readers seeking her other books, especially the series first story, THE WILD ONE. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Another Bobbi Smith delight.
Review: The storyline has been wonderfully reviewed above. I wanted to add that I didn't plan on reading all 4 books. This was the only one that caught my interest and I really enjoy bobbi smith's writing. However now I'm hooked and have to find out what happens to the whole family. It's am excellent family saga and of course I'm hoping the "wicked stepmother" gets her due!!! This story is special. Chase is the most hunky, vulnerable hero I've met in awhile and you are so proud of him for rising above his problems to become well respected and loved. Cassie is perfect for him. To see her stand up for Chase is adorably delightful......enjoy

Summary: A GREAT SERIES
Review: WHAT A PLEASURE! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SERIES THAT I HAVE EVER READ. EACH BOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, NOT FORMAULAIC AS SAME AUTHOR SERIES TEND TO BE. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE LAST ONE TO FIND OUT HOW THE STORY ENDS, BUT I WILL MISS THESE CHARACTERS.
