This is a well written book and I enjoyed reading it. A young man, returning from the war, marriage?, a spoiled young woman, a companion, bought a large ranch, moving to the ranch, unhappy woman, broken engagement, left him, realize in love, will there be a happy ever after? I would recommend this book to everyone. Buy the book and enjoy reading it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Texas Rangers, stolen cattle, runaway fiance' in a few pages...
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016

The writing is OK but simplistic and rushed. The first page of the Prologue gave me the clue this was amateurish. The boy, Thomas, is talking about the knocking on the door. Lily answers the door, invites them in and states that Thomas is taking a nap. Of course, that is the only page Thomas is mentioned. There is a bit of sensual content in this book but that is well written. There is a mystery with this book. It seems this may be Book 3 and not Book 2, but whatever, it is a fast read and better than Book 1. That being said, I may be done with this series. It just isn't for me. I would suggest to the author that she not write ten books about ten brothers and concentrate on writing maybe a three book series next time and make them about 150 pages or more. The storyline would flow better.

The women in this story were all conniving and self serving. Laura was not much better than Catherine. I was disappointed in her using her body to trap the hero. There was no real love there,for either of them and No romance. It makes me wonder how true love and respect could eventually come to them and the story ended too soon to feel good about their future. I also am worried about poor, stupid Catherine. It just doesn't' t have the strength of character that a Pinckney man soils have or Laury either.

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015

I did not get much out of the story because their were no personal character descriptions. I have no idea what these people look like and to me that is half the book! If you do not know what they look like then you cannot 'see' them in your reading eye! There were a lot of missing punctuation and that throws the story off track. The book needs some work to be more acceptable and readable as a novel.
