I thought I had a keeper on my hands for the first few chapters of this book. The hero was an extremely sexy bad boy, the heroine was someone I could identify with, and the tension was sizzling. Then...*pfft* from the moment the hero takes off with the heroine into the swamps, the story fell like a souffle after the kitchen door is slammed. It wasn't BAD, just unremarkable. A let down after the great start. If you are looking for an excellent Cajun bad boy story, try THE LONG HOT SUMMER by Wendy Rosnau (SIM #996).

This is the latest in a series about the Brand family. This one is about Sara Brand, who after years of being in the witness protection program, and meeting her family again after all these years goes on vacation and meets local bad guy Jake Nash. She sees a murder for the second time in her life, and they are off and running. This book has everything, humor, sadness, love and a strong loving family. It is a great book as all the Brand books have been, I would recommemd it to everyone who loves a great story.

This was an interesting and fantastic book along with the other 7 books in The Texas Brand series. If you like Comedy, a little bit of Action suspense then this is the book for you. I really enjoyed this book I could hardly put it down once I started reading it.

This one was pretty good. Loved the Southern Bad Boy Jake. Sara has tons of spunk to offset her timid characteristics from earlier books.
I loved that there was a lot more involvement with the cousins than her brother Marcus' story. I really enjoy being able to go back and visit the other Brands and this book is very good for that.
The beginning grabbed you, the book kept going and the end was exciting! Well done for another great Texas Brand book!

This is the first book in the Brand series that I have read.I am rather ashamed of myself for not reading the others.This book is full of love and hardship on both the hero and the hroine, Jake and Sara. They go through a long agonizing time together, but you feel yourself relating with the caracters and you know it is love. I would highly recommend this book to any first time reader, or a long time reader of Maggie Shayne. She really knows how to kick up a good story. Happy reading!
