When gunslinger Chet Atmore rode into Spring Water Ranch, he hadn't realized that he was riding into a wealth of expectations. Young Neil Jordan sees him as some kind of hero. The ranch foreman hopes he'll be the man who stands up the their land-hungry neighbor. And the new owner, lovely Melody Jordan, wants to hire him as a cowboy--and take him for a husband. That's a tall order for a drifter like Chet.

Review
Melody Jordan would rather pack her bags and head back to Virginia than marry a man she doesn't love. But her father is dead and she can't leave her stepmother and two young brothers to fend for themselves while rustlers steal their cattle and the nearest rancher tries to steal their ranch. Lantz Royal has made it clear he intends to get the Spring Water Ranch one way or another, which means Melody either has to marry the man or get ready to put up the fight of her life. Chet Attmore is ready to hang up his guns and find a quiet place to settle down where no one knows him. He's only passing through and has no intentions of getting involved in the troubles of the Spring Water Ranch or the pretty young woman who lives there. But all his good intentions are lost when he gets pulled into the fray. Soon, he's in too deep to leave and his heart is hoping for things his mind knows he can never have. Continuing The Cowboys series, Leigh Greenwood introduces us to another one of Jake and Isabelle Maxwell's orphans. Chet is a gunfighter looking for a home, while Melody is a woman out of place in the Texas home she's trying to save. Chet is another wonderful tale in this continuing series. Readers who fell in love with this gifted author's style with the Seven Brides series will want to collect all The Cowboys books.No one writes western historical romance like Leigh Greenwood! A master storyteller! Chet has it all! Romance and rustlers, gunfighters and greed... romance doesn't get any better than this! The Cowboys is a true collector's series. Every book is a gem and Leigh Greenwood polishes every story until it shines! Brilliant writing and characterization! Kristina Wright -- Copyright © 080198 Literary Times, Inc.

Leigh has managed to do it again!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chet (The Cowboys , No 4) (Paperback)
Chet and Melody will capture your heart within the first few chapters of this heart warming tale.Leigh managed once again to captivate the mind by bringing you into the lives of Melody and those she loves most. It is the tale of an average american Family set in the 1800's when Texas was still wild and held only by those strong enough to fight and keep what is thiers. In this story Melody has just arrived from the East after her father is killed in an unfortunate accident. Melody is immediately caught between being loyal to her step mother by acting the lady, her horror at how men manipulate and control the vast wilderness of the west and her need to save her young brother before he falls over the edge, and is lost between becomming a man and managing his inheritance and still being a boy to young to do so. When she is at the end of her rope and about to give in a marry a man she is sure she would never be happy with along comes Chet. Chet is just stopping by for some friendly Texan hospitality and to trade his horse for one that will allow him to run faster and further from his past. but then chet did not figure on meeting up with Melody or becomming involved with her family and ranch. Then again we all know who raised Chet and he is the gentleman to the end no matter how he fights his emotions, he could not possiablly leave Melody on her own when she doesn't even know one end of the horse from the next. This is a loving and witty book very well written with alot of action. you do not want to put it down to the end. Would have liked to seen more of the entire clan from previous books but that is just me I miss them when the book is at a finish. Keep on writing Leigh and we will keep looking for the next tale in a cowboys life!

a great western/romance,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chet (The Cowboys , No 4) (Paperback)
I've read the first 4 in the Cowboys series and look forward to the next ones. Leigh Greenwood is a great storyteller. His westerns are balanced between the cowboy adventure and the sensual romance. So far, Ward is my favorite, but it's a close call. If you haven't read the others, start right now with Jake and read them in order. I intend to re-read them. These are keepers.

Top calliber writing from a true pro!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chet (The Cowboys , No 4) (Paperback)
Chet brings you back into a story that spans years. From the moment we see Chet, it is clear he has grown into a man worthy of a good woman. Melody is truly a perfect match for the hardheaded, hot blooded, gun slinging, attitude toting Chet. This story is feeled with conflict, tension, really truly nasty villians you love to hate and even feel sorry for...once in a while. Chet brings us back to the kind of loyalty and love that should exist between two people who belong together. Mr. Greenwood is a master story teller and can pull a reader into the story like no one I know. I'll never survive the wait until the next book comes out.
