Freedom meant everything to Kurt Buckner. He knew how to go it alone, how to fight . . . and kill. And that was why Melanie Corbin wanted to hire him: He was well qualified to escort her to the Colorado Territory, over terrain filled with hostile Kiowa and Arapaho. And maybe he'd better her chances against the three men who wanted her dead . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun western with a touch of romance.,
By
This review is from: Angel Fire (Paperback)
Angel Fire is a western novel with a romantic twist. Melanie Corbin is a woman fleeing two men who raped a close friend and committed murder. Fleeing with her are two ex-slaves Ned and Tilde. Melanie hires Kurt Buckner hoping he will protect her and her companions while they travel west to lead a new life.This novel was pretty good. I was impressed with Ballas' ability to write convincing female characters. I also liked the stories of day-to-day life of the wagon train. Oh...And I loved Ned and Tilde. Things I didn't like? Kurt seemed to get injured at least three times in this book. It got old. Also, he seemed to recover very quickly. Second, I found it distasteful that Melanie (the heroine), stood by and did nothing while her friend was assaulted. (This seemed out of character).Third, Kurt's `fear of commitment' issue also dragged about halfway through the book, and I wanted to kick him in the pants to `get on with it,' (those familiar with romance literature would probably roll their eyes at this subplot which is a staple in the romantic genre. Still, Angel Fire was fun, exciting and well written, well worth reading.

Way to go Jack,
By Robert C Moore (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angel Fire (Paperback)
I like Jack Ballas. Not because he's a member of DFW Writer's Workshop, but that when Jack writes you can feel the tension, the romance, the excitement. I don't read many books but Jack is one of those writers I love to listen to.
