Rating: Summary: DEFINITELY AN EXCELLENT ROMANCE! Review: BURKE'S RULES -- Burke Youngblood, brother of Logan [Beloved Outcast] is not about to let Dilicar destroy his bank or take his government charter.Jayne Stoneworthy has purchased the "Wet Beaver", a local cat house in which to start up her school for young ladies. Cade asks Burke to delicately inform Miss Stoneworthy that her purchase will cause her to fail in her business of establishing a school. Oh it just gets more hilarious as Jayne misconstrues Burke's intentions of putting the fear of God into her as he slings her over his shoulder and carries her upstairs to her bedchamber and drops onto the bed with her. Needless to say she whacks him on the head with a two by four and then is afraid she has killed him. You will get the biggest kick out of Aunt Euphemia little tidbits of observations on the male gender. "A Good Man is more rare than sweet-smelling elephant dung." etc. Jayne practically unmans Burke with her Aunt's advise to her. When he starts to develop a little lust for her [not love mind you] this from Burke - he becomes obsessed with trying to possess her without marriage but Jayne staunchly refuses to consider marriage and refuses anything even closely resembling an affair. But now she craves his kisses [and nothing more] but when their actions lead to a little more than kisses she knows she must not see Burke any more. What a conflict of emotions. Burke and Cade and Hunter are still trying to prevent the evil element from taking over their town of Denver. In an inebriated mood Jayne suggests to Burke that he call upon the Guardsmen to protect his bank - as being a banker she assumes that he does not know how to use a firearm. This causes a bit of hilarity with Cade and Emma. When Burke and Jayne are kidnapped in an attempted bank robbery, Burke begins to think that marriage is not such a bad option afterall. One thing lead to another in their daring excape and ....... Finally Logan and their parents show up in Denver and Jayne gets to hear about the break-up between Logan and Burke and we learn how they finally resolve their quarrel with their parents. Did you learn that they are all rich bankers? What a great story! Don't forget - BELOVED OUTCAST - CADE'S JUSTICE - BURKE'S RULES and HUNTER'S LAW - Great set of books - definitely keepers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
