Summary: Celie gets her man!!
Review: I always love Anne's books and this one was no disappointment.
Celie isn't your usual one dimensional fiesty heroine, she was cruely dumped at only 19yrs old and had a long way to come to rebuild her self esteem, to find her self. She found Jace too, I think she deserved her delicious cowboy.
I've taken a shine to Artie too, hope he pops up in future Code of the West books.

Summary: Love Those Cowboys
Review: I have read every book in the "Code of the West" series. Naturally, I had to grab this one quickly. It was a quick read.Bear in mind that I enjoy Ms. McAllister's work. However, I didn't like this book as much as previous in the series. J.D. McCall in "A Cowboy's Secret" is one of the outstanding ones. I did perservere and this one it got better toward the end. I'm not totally sure why this didn't work for me. I think I didn't like Celie all that much. In her mind, it was all about her. So, she got jilted at the ripe old age of 19 and didn't even so much as look at another guy for 10 years. Then, she lives in a fantasy about Sloan Gallagher for all those years. Never dating a real guy. How mature is that? Jace deserves better. And it really wasn't his fault that her ex-fiancee, Matt, jilted her. It doesn't say in this book, but in "The Great Montana Cowboy Auction" the author tells us that Matt was wild going down the road and that he's since been married/divorced a couple of times. Whatever. Celie should have been thanking Jace instead of hating him all those years. Maybe my real problem is that I enjoyed "The Great Montana Cowboy Auction" so much that "A Cowboy's Pursuit" is a bit of a let down. Having said that, I did enjoy the ending very much and am looking forward to the next in the series. BTW, congratulations on your 50th book, Ms. McAllister.

Summary: Celie grows up!
Review: I like the fact that this book started out with a less than "mature" heroine. Celie has some growing up to do...and she does! With the help of one fine cowboy--Jace.
Another keeper in McAllister's fabulous Code of the West series! Keep 'em coming, Anne!

Summary: Not her best, but better than others' books
Review: You've got to like a man who'll travel thousands of miles to show his woman he loves her, and that's what Jace does in Ms. McAllister's latest Code of the West book. However, because the hero and heroine admit they love one another halfway through the book, the second half is anticlimatic and contrived to make up a conflict. What woman these days expects a man to not have had lovers in the past? The heroine comes across as childish and neurotic. Jace could do better, and I know Ms. McAllister can as well. A Cowboy's Tears, for a start. Still, Ms. McAllister has a gift for drawing readers into her characters' heads and making them stay there, and every book she writes is guaranteed to satisfy on some level, so I do recommend her to romance readers.
