Rating: Summary: A great start to a 4 part series Review: Absolutely amazing how 4 different authors could construct such a well-written, 4 part series that maintains continuity and quality! It's a credit to the authors Elaine Barbieri, Bobbi Smith, Constance O'Banyon, and Evelyn Rogers. "The Wild One" starts off the "Secret Fires" series with Tanner McBride returning home to Sidewinder Texas, at the request of his dying father, Tom McBride. The McBride Family had been split apart 4 years ago, after the father remarried 1 week after his wife's death. The scheming stepmother/wife, Clare, drove a wedge between the entire family - the 3 children fled the Circle M ranch & Tom McBride's tyrannical rule. Four years later, the McBride heirs are summonsed home. Tanner's story is unique and touching. He has grown up enough to realize that he must confront his past, his father and himself, before he can go forward. Callie has traveled to Sidewinder Texas with a different agenda in mind - she plans on killing Tanner. As the plot unravels, you become entrenched in the McBride family saga. This is a great start to an enjoyable 4 part series. Definitely read them in order: The Wild One The Half Breed The Agreement The Loner Enjoy!

Rating: Summary: Secret Fires - The Wild One Review: Elaine Barbieri's new book is fantastic! Wow! There were characters I loved and characters I loved to hate! The Secret Fires series is exciting and I'm looking foward to reading the other books!
Rating: Summary: Wow!!! Review: I am a huge fan of Ms. Barbieri. Tanner McBride is a wonderful hero who has everything a hero should have. Callie gets her man, but not so easily. And, there has never been a more evil woman than Clare--the woman you love to hate. I loved the book from start to finish. The story is exciting and kept me turning the pages. I understand that there will be three more books about the McBride family. I can't wait to read them all. Ms. Barbieri, you are the best!!!
Rating: Summary: I just returned to reading and this was my first book Review: I am a working mother and don't have a lot of time to read. However, I am taking the time to return to something I love. What a wonderful book THE WILD ONE is. Tanner and Callie are wonderful creations and the story caught me right away. When I found out it was the first of the series, I quickly got all four books. I am so hooked on these four aughors, but Mrs. Barbieri is my favorite. I have just become her number one fan. I am now reading Hawk and loving it.

Rating: Summary: Great Series Review: I enjoyed every book in this series and this last one was no different. I ended up feeling like I knew and cared about these people. Now, I'm going to miss them. What amazed me was that 4 different authors could write a 4-book series so seamlessly. I rarely write reviews, but felt compelled this time. Don't read these book out of order. Start with The Wild One, then the Half Breed, the Agreement and lastly the Loner. I can't say enough - great reading and I'm picky.

Rating: Summary: There's a reason Elaine Barbieri is a such a big star! Review: I have been a major of fan of Elaine Barbieri's fabulous romances since her very first book. This one has got to be her best ever, a true keeper. It's the first book in Leisure's "Secret Fires" series, and it packs a wallop. Tanner McBride is a hero you'll never forget, and Callie gets him in the end...but it's not easy. Partly because of the evil Clare, one of the wickedest characters I've come across in a book in ages. She's truly the woman you love to hate! Do yourself a favor and buy this book, then read the second book in the series, "The Half-Breed" by Bobbi Smith, and then "The Agreement" by Constance O'Banyon (which I've just finished). The last book will be "The Loner" by Evelyn Rogers. I can't wait for that. WOW--what a great idea. A four-book series by four fantastic authors. You get to read one huge story by four different talents. Unbelievable. Please, ladies, give us more!!!
