Summary: Heart Wrenching
Review: At one point in this novel I was crying so hard that I could no longer see the page. It is heart wrenching and very emotional. Make sure you have a box of tissues handy and maybe even a finger of whiskey (so you can toast Rosie's accomplishments).The novel is actually two stories in one. It is about two vastly different women who must each overcome hardships and trauma on the road to self-awareness and self-respect. One of the heroines is Rosie Mulvehey, who saves Bowie Stone from the hangman's noose by selecting him to be her husband. In exchange for his life, Bowie agrees to help Rosie plant and harvest her crop on a dusty Kansas farm. With Bowie's help, Rosie is able to face the demons of her past and overcome the hardships of the present. The second heroine is Susan Stone who, along with her young son, is abruptly evicted from her opulent Washington D.C. home. Without friends, family or money, Susan is forced to answer a want ad for a mail-order bride. She travels cross-country to Wyoming, only to be rejected by her waiting husband-to-be. She quickly learns that she must face the world head-on if she and her son are to survive. I really enjoyed this novel it was well written, face paced and a real tearjerker. The only reason that I did not give it a "Five" is that I found the finale with Rosie and Bowie a little short.

Summary: More More!
Review: I could have kept reading this story for another 500 pages it was so wonderfully written. I have so much admiration for Ms. Osborne, she has such a colorful writing style, I was living right on the ranch with the characters, I loved the hedgehog and poking. This is a totally great story and I wish I were just starting so I could experience it for the first time all over again.

Summary: One of the finest books I've ever read
Review: I have read this book twice and will read it again at some point because I think it's brilliant. Maggie Osborne (who also writes as Margaret St. George) is always great at humor and emotional depth -- a mix which few writers can handle. It's a profoundly moving story of a woman who dresses and drinks like a cowboy and marries a man to keep him from being hanged so she can have a free ranch hand. That's just the first few pages -- the rest of the story is unforgettably poignant.

Summary: THIS IS A UNIQUE BOOK THAT SHOULD BE READ BY EVERYONE!!!!!!!
Review: I just love this books! I can't say enough good things about it. This is a novel for people who want to read something different and still romantic. In this novel, the heroine, Rosie, is the one who is suffering the most and needs the most help and she gets that from Bowie. Instead of the hero taking center stage, rosie does. You can't help, but feel for her and she just comes alive in the book. Rosie is strong yet hurting and Bowie is the one to come along and help her stop hurting herself. So far this is my favorite Maggie Osborne book and one of my all time favorite bks. You will not be able to stop reading this bk. once you get started so I recommend you relax and start reading this bk.

Summary: WOW
Review: I read perhaps 3 romance novels a week by a number of authors. This is BY FAR the best book I have read in my many years of reading. Thank you Maggie Osborne. You have given me characters that will live on in my mind long after this book has been put on the shelf.

Summary: Three tissue book...
Review: This book was a fast and easy read. Ms. Osborne definitely knows how to tug the heart strings. She writes of two very different women and makes them into characters you come to really like and care about. I gave it four stars instead of five because there seemed to be a couple of places where it became a bit repetetive. This is only the third book of Ms. Osborne's that I have read and I look forward to reading many more.
