Summary: The intro to the cowboys
Review: As an avid book reader, I find few surprises in plots. After reading Greenwood's "Seven brides" series about the very sexy Maxwell brothers, I expected more of the same with the ophans of the "Cowboys". What I didn't expect was the realistic problems of a group of men bound not by blood, but by a love that none feels worthy of nor can quite believe. A love of a "family" that is perhaps stronger because it is not owed but given. I give it 5 stars because I cried. The good cry, the kind that makes you smile and laugh. And remember...

Summary: From Jake to Chet..a definite letdown
Review: Chet is nowhere near Jake's standard. In Jake, I was led to believe that the oncoming books in the series would be just as good, if not, even better. Chet wasn't a page turner...I felt that Ms Greenwood could have exploited Melody's anger towards Chet's stubborn refusal to accept her...or further elaborated on the estrangement that existed between Chet and his brother, Luke. This could have lend the story with a bit more depth than just the superficial issues that were focused upon in Chet.

Ms Greenwood seems to have lost her touch after Jake. By far, Jake is still the greatest amongst the series.

The characters seemed to have fallen in love too easily. There is no challenge, no suspense, no excitement. The only highlight of the entire book was when Melody joined in with Chety's scheme to frighten of her enemy.

I would rather wait for Luke.

Summary: Buck
Review: I have read the Seven Brides series and just finished the 3rd in the Cowboy series, Buck. I thought Buck and Hannah's story was riveting. In fact, I read the last 100 pages or so without putting the book down! Ms. Greenwood has a way of making the characters so real, with real feelings and emotions, such as Buck's struggle with feeling the Maxwells were not his "family" because they weren't blood, and his longing to find his "real" family. All 10 books I have read by this author have been thoroughly enjoying and I am ready to start the next one. I have enjoyed all 3 Cowboy books I have read and even though Jake and Buck were fabulous, I think Ward has been the best so far.

Summary: LUKE ( T he Cow Boys )
Review: I just stated reading the cowboys series, and
I loved Luke..MR.(by the way is a man ) Greenwood wrote a pge turner, I thought "Drew" was kind of a little boring , the story didn't really go any where untill the end.

Summary: Really like this series, but this one was not up to "JAKE"
Review: I've read all Greenwood's Seven Brides books as they came out and waited for this series, "The Cowboys", to appear. I live in Texas and do NOT find stories including dirt and heat appealling. 102 degrees is never romantic if you have lived through it a few times. Yet, Greenwood overcame my adversion and JAKE was great. . . compelling people and enough about the boys to make me really want to know how they will grow up and find their lifemates (the purpose of romance novels, you know). And that is the best part of BUCK. There is alot of character development for many of the boys. However, Buck's story was no page turner and his lady was just too ordinary. Still, a good read and I'm waiting for the next one...

Summary: LUKE ( T he Cow Boys )
Review: The book was a great continuation of the 3 other books in the cowboys series. I really enjoyed the first three and I can't wait for the rest of them to come out.
