4.0 out of 5 stars
engaging contemporary romance, July 15, 2004
This review is from: The Cop: Texas Outlaws (Harlequin American Romance Series) (Texas Outlaws) (Mass Market Paperback)
Cole Younger Outlaw had been a Houston homicide detective for years, but knows his career on the streets is over. Back in his hometown of Naconiche, Cole recovers from bullets to his leg and hip and a piece of lung destroyed. Dr. Kelly "Red" Martin tends to Cole's physical injuries, but his pride makes it difficult to help him, as he already is tired of assistance and pampering from his concerned family. Red admits to herself that her patient has gotten to her especially seeing him nude and wanting to join him,, but she knows he is Houston while she had her year performing urban medicine in the big city and prefers small town living. As Red heals, his desire for his doctor places her in an ethical dilemma as she wants him more than anyone ever before. Can the oldest Outlaw persuade his physician that small town living is perfect for him with her at his side? The final law abiding Outlaw novel (see THE SHERIFF and THE JUDGE) is a delightful ending to a fine series. The lead couple is a fine pairing of two individuals with different perspectives on life while the support cast of his family (including previous stars) and the other Naconiche townsfolk bring depth to an engaging contemporary romance between the ex-cop and his physician.

#3 of the OUTLAW FAMILY - 2 OTHERS SETTLED ALSO, June 20, 2005
This review is from: The Cop: Texas Outlaws (Harlequin American Romance Series) (Texas Outlaws) (Mass Market Paperback)
Cole Younger Outlaw: Homicide detective on the Houston Police Department. Badly injured. His father, John Wesley Hardin Outlaw and his mother, Miss Nonnie take him home to recuperate in Naconiche. The small town he wanted to get out of.
"Pull off your pants and lie down" was Dr. Kelly Martin's opening statement. [chuckle] Little did she know that Cole had nothing else on under his sweats.
Dialogue was great even when she pealed the back off of a nicotine patch and slapped on his right hip. No smoking because of his lung injury.
Here is another gal who has been around. But she found breath-stopping sex appeal ozzing from this wounded male.
Kelly suddenly realized that Cole could not make it down the stairs from over the Double Dip ice cream parlor where his parents now lived.
She very unobtrusively solved his problems of being able to get around and have a little freedom to be himself. She very gently bullies him into attending J.J.'s and Mary Beth's wedding, here we meet up with Sam Bass Outlaw, his younger brother, and his sister Belle Starr Outlaw. [they should have had stories of their own]
They sure had troubles trying to get to bed with each other. [bummer] The little murder mystery seemed a little weak for Cole to handle and the teaching experience was an energizing experience. One he didn't expect.
Well written stories with loose moraled females, when you think of them being the mothers of the next generation. Very chancy.
A bit disappointing.
Enjoyable supporting characters - great small town - 2 surprising characters - great family connections in the Outlaws.
will recommend for a good read.

Determination, August 17, 2004
This review is from: The Cop: Texas Outlaws (Harlequin American Romance Series) (Texas Outlaws) (Mass Market Paperback)
As one of the members of the great Outlaw family, Cole Younger
has thoughts of "I don't want to do this, it is too hard to
try the demands on my body after being shot". However Dr. Kelly
Martin is there to move him along. She just doesn't give up.
The process is slow but worth the while. Kelly has her share of
problems too. Living in a little town people watch everything
you do. However, it seems like the people become very helpful and
Cole and Kelly solve their problems. In the end they are getting
married and add to a wonderful family.
Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
