Summary: Another Good book by Judith Stacy!
Review: I've read books by this author before, and was delighted to see another wonderful story by Judith Stacy. This story, of a man returning to his small western hometown which did not appreciate his returning, shows us a touching story of redemption and forgiveness. Jess, basically a good man, struggles against great odds to save his sister's children. The heroine, Sarah, has come to town with secrets of her own, and her struggles against her attraction for Jess make this a compelling story. Judith Stacy gives us people we'd love to have as friends, and a setting we'd like to visit. This book was a delightful read. Thank you, Harlequin!

Summary: VERY ENJOYABLE READ!
Review: Jess Logan has a deep sense of responsibility and family and wants to do all he can for his sisters' children.I loved the way Maggie turned to her unknown Uncle Jess and gave him her unconditional love. But Jess sure had a lot to learn about little Jimmy and ended up needing Sarah Wakefield to show him how to understand the little one. Ah, but then Jess fell in lust with Sarah and began a slow burn for her. This caused oh, so many complications! He wasn't even aware when lust turned to love and poor Sarah was afraid of becoming a wanton with dire results. Wonderful angles to the story to keep it interesting [especially Jess's little secret] and moved along with enough gentle tension that it became hard to put it down. I am still a bit confused on how easily these characters give into temptation given the age they live in. Not that it is an impossibility but I still think they had a much stronger moral fiber [or fear] than is portrayed.
Still a great story and will definitely recommend it for a good read.

Summary: Wonderful!!
Review: The is a sensativly done tale of a man's search for redemption and his relationship with a town's refusal to except him. Jess Logan has only been out of prison for a short time when he returns to raise his sister's children. Due to a tragedy when Jess was twelve, he and his sister lived seperate lives. His sister, Cassie was raised by a family, but poor Jess was passed from one disinterested family to another, soon garnering a reputation for a troublemaker. The town is unwilling to forgive Jess's past transgessions and the rumor that he is a hired killer. They try to take the children, eight year old Maggie and her younger brother Jimmy, who has not spoken a word since his mother's death. Sarah Wakefield has arrived in town to take Cassie's place as a schoolteacher, she is the only one willing to give Jess a second chance, only she has a secret to hide. I truly found this an enjoyable read and I recommend it for all lovers of western romance.
