Chet (Cowboys) [Mass Market Paperback]

Leigh Greenwood (Author)

Book Description

Series: Cowboys | Publication Date: April 1999

The freedom of the range, the bawling of the longhorns, the lonesome night watch beneath a vast, starry sky--they get into a man's blood until he knew there was nothing better than the life of a cowboy ... except the love of a good woman.

MELODY

When Chet Attmore rode into the Spring Water Ranch, he was only a dusty drifter, hoping to find a fresh horse and stay one step ahead of his reputation as a gunfighter. But by the next morning he was being pressured into several unfamiliar roles: Young Neil Jordan saw him as some kind of hero, with guns ablazing; the ranch foreman hoped he'd be the savior who could stand up to their land-hungry neighbor Lantz Royal; and the lovely new owner of the Spring Water had offered him a job as a cowboy. Most disturbing of all, Melody was looking for a husband, and when Chet held her soft, sweet body against his, he was tempted to fulfill every one of her expectations... and more.

This is #4 in the Cowboys Series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Leigh Greenwood keeps getting better and better, July 8, 2004

I picked up a few of The Cowboys from a sale at the library and I can't believe I bought 4 of the best romances written for $2.00! Chet is one of the best. Strong, considerate and horribly unsure of himself. He's the sort of cowboy/gunslinger any woman would swoon over had he been a real live man.

Melody Jordan makes a great heroine. A little uppity at first, any true romance reader can get past her upbringing and look forward to her "change of heart". It's a wonderful book and hooks you right from the start. (Just don't start it late at night....you may never get to sleep.)

This is the first book I read of this author because the story line seemed interesting. I should have started with Greenwood's earlier books because this one is terrible. It reads as if the author dictated the story and the result was never edited. Way too much exposition, and he told me everything as if I had the brain of a pea. It's so much better if a writer takes me where he wants me to go instead of just telling me what's going on.

On the advice of a friend of mine, I tried this author again with the first book in his "Seven Brides" series called Rose. It was infinitely better, tighter written, and quite enjoyable. Greenwood still told me more things than he needed to, but I forgave him for that a little bit. It just seems to be his way to dumb things down occasionally.

Don't waste your money on this book, buy the brides' books instead.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series of western/romance genre with some historical facts included... I'd have preferred to read the books in sequence, but it wasn't too troublesome as long as you begin with "Jake". The writing is simple, and seems to reflect simpler times... I liked the historical references to the times and that area of the country.
