By the age of seven Tyler Randolph has been so emotionally abused by his sadistic father he no longer allows himself to feel anything, not when his brother go to war, his father deserts them or when his mother dies. He doesn't think he deserves his place in the family or his share of the family wealth.

Determined to make it on his own, Tyler heads for New Mexico and the lost gold mines. The only problem is that his birthday is in six months and he has promised to take one of the jobs his brothers had to offer if he fails to find gold by this time. Tyler can't bear to be a further failure and plans to dissappear when the time comes. When he rescues an injured beauty he has no place to take her but to his prospector's cabin high in the mountains. Taunted as the ugly Randolph, Tyler is hiding his handsome face behind long hair and a heavy beard. Daisy can't help but feel he has something to hide. Somehow though Tyler can't seem to want to hide from Daisy. Not his face and not his heart.

Daisy has been told what to do all her life and Tyler is the first man who seems to think she's capable of taking care of her ranch herself, she loves him, but doesn't want to give up the independence he's taught her to cherish. Finally she realizes that, though Tyler can do everything better than she, he has a scared little boy inside of him that needs her as desperately as she needs him. When she realizes Tyler sees himself as her partner, not her master, she knows she can trust him with her heart.

This was my favorite of the series. I have fallen in love with the whole bunch. The characters are so interesting and fun. This series is addicting. One will never be enough so buy them all and lock yourself away for for a grand old time.

Although I found the ending somewhat rushed and the character of Zac Randolph more interesting than the laconic Tyler, the undeniable chemistry between Tyler and Daisy mixed with the land rights intrigue makes for an unputdownable good read. The character of Daisy is especially fun to watch and grow. One thing I really liked about her is just how closely she resembled her father in her stubborn behaviour and how author Leigh Greenwood managed not to beat the reader over the head with it, he (yes, Leigh is a MAN) lets you figure it out for yourself through the character's behavior. I am glad that this is part of a series, because these are characters I would love to spend some more time with. Highly recommended.

This book was a little bit of a letdown for me. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting, but whatever it was, I was disappointed. The hero, Tyler, was okay but Daisy was ten kinds of annoying. She had some rather odd hang-ups about freedom and thinking for herself and for some reason didn't believe Tyler would let her be herself even though he had never indicated otherwise. She kept lamenting the fact that her height would prevent her from ever getting married, and then, all of a sudden, out of the clear blue sky, she's engaged? It threw me for a loop and I started to wonder if perhaps I had missed something...apparently, something rather important...

But overall, I still liked the story, I just had some trouble liking Daisy. Tyler was the redeeming character, in my opinion.

This story contains graphic love scenes.

Leigh Greenwood is super! Once you start reading her books you can not put them down. The series of Seven Brothers takes yuo into the hearts and place of the characters involved.

I enjoyed reading this series. When I started reading the book was looking forward to see whaat the next story would bring.

Daisy is book #5 in the Seven Brides series. I love this series but I have to say that Daisy is my least favorite so far. It wasn't bad but it just didn't measure up to the others. Neither Daisy nor Tyler has very much self-confidence. Both think they are unattractive & think that nobody will ever love them & then when they find that they love one another they still hold back for quite a while. Although this book was a little dull I highly recommend this series.

I picked this up because it was priced low and sounded relatively decent. It was actually a very good read.The characters are well-rounded, and the plot is interesting, if rather cliched. I have only one criticism, and that is that the book felt a bit over-long. At 392 pages, it could well have been reduced by at least 100 without injuring the story. Some emotional conflicts the characters face seem repetitive, and the book suffers for it. I recommend the book, but I would really rather give it a 3.5 than a 4 rating.
