Summary: Roger's is lacking in new ideas!
Review: Unfortunately, to my dismay, both 'All I Desire' and 'Dangerous Man' (the better of the two) are practically identical to Roger's previous bestseller 'Sweet Savage Love'. While there is little 'true' romance in any of these novels, you will find adventure, intrique, cloak and dagger, and of course, Roger's love of the southwest terrain and the including of Hispanics and Native American in the history of the west. But the novels are too similar - if you'e read 'Sweet Savage Love', you would conclude that both male characters from a 'Dangerous Man' and 'All I Desire' could be very close relatives to Steve Morgan. Personality, attitude, appearance, and of course their lackluster opinion of love and romance. But one can see that Roger's has reshaped her more recent male characters into a 1990s appealing hero, compassionate, considerate, and even loyal at times - while her first dangerous character - Mr. Steven Morgan was rude, violent, extremely dangerous and in plain english, a 'whoremonger', whom was a candidate for AIDS or the venereal diseases common in the 1860s. In comparising characters, the female characters did not have the zeal or spunk that Jenny Brandon possessed. While I disagreed with Jenny's permiscuous nature, I admired her ability to 'survive' in any situation, and she had many 'issues' to deal with. I find that Roger's must have a favorite novel and 'Sweet Savage Love' is her favorite. Well, Rogers, of all your novels, yes that is my favorite also, however, penning the same cliche's, circumstances, situations, and plots continually and changing character names is 'getting old' and boring. Let Jenny and Steve rest in peace and not found reincarnated in upcoming novels! There will never be another 'Sweet Savage Love'.
