WHAT CAN I SAY?, October 10, 2001
This review is from: Cowgirl Be Mine (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)
This is a powerful story! The characters are well defined, the story flows well and the sexual tension was certainly all there just like it should be in a romance. I loved every minute of this book. I think Elaine did a great job with Mandy's emotional state after her leg is amputated. It certainly takes a very strong person to come back after an accident like that and Elaine got it ALL right!

IMPRESSIVE DEBUT!, October 10, 2001
This review is from: Cowgirl Be Mine (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)
Elaine Nichols is an author to watch, judging from her first release. What a powerful story! She writes about an amputee without resorting to clichés or predictable dialogue. The reunion romance is believable and keeps you rooting for the couple. I'm impressed with the blend of romance and women's fiction in what used to be cookie-cutter category stories. I'll be reading more Silhouette Special Editions if they deliver stories like this one.

Cowgirl Be Mine, October 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Cowgirl Be Mine (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)
I don't often read category romance. Why? It's gotten the reputation for a cookie-cutter sameness. But not Elaine Nichols' Cowgirl Be Mine. In this book, the heroine Mandy Thomson breaks all the rules. She's a rodeo star who do to an accident loses a leg and ends-up in a wheelchair.
What's great about Mandy is that once she's injuried most people can identify with her. I fear few of us would initially look inward and accept what's happened. We'd rant and rail, feel anger and a sense of loss, and most importantly a desire not to leave the wheelchair until we could walk on our new leg perfectly; all the emotions Mandy must deal with.
The hero Jake is not only a man we'd all want at our sides if we found our lives turned upside down, but he's also a man who must fight has his own demons.
Together, Mandy and Jake make a wonderful couple. Mandy's lightness of spirit is a perfect foil for Jake's seriousness. Yet it's this serious hero who shows Mandy you don't have to be perfect to walk or love.
Thank you, Elaine for giving us a book about real people, ones who will stay will us for a long time.
