5.0 out of 5 stars What a mix!, March 30, 2001

This review is from: Dangerous (Mass Market Paperback)

Take a sexy, macho, steel willed Texas Ranger and pair with a pretty, free thinking, ahead-of-her-time feminist, throw them together and what you have is one dynamic duo! In the second book of Millie Criswells series ("Desperate" was the first), she has Ethan Bodine in search of his brother Rafe who is wanted on a murder charge. Ethan loves his brother, but being a Ranger to the very depths of his soul, he knows he has to bring him in. He meets up with a female bounty hunter with the unlikely nickname of "Willy" who is just as determined as Ethan to find the fugitive. She's not an experienced bounty hunter, she's just badly in need of money and finds the possiblity of bringing Rafe Bodine back and collecting the reward as a perfect solution to her problems.

Ethan regards Willy as a loose cannon and since he's concerned for both her safety and Rafes safety if she actually does get within bounty hunting distance of him, he lets her tag along with him in the search. Naturally, because of their combustible natures....it's almost lust at first sight. Their adventures together are hairy and their attraction to each other is red-hot!

I think I liked this book even better then the first in this trilogy ("Defiant" is the third and last book.) It was difficult not to devour this reading all in one setting. It's a great journey the reader takes with Ethan and Willy.

Wow! All three other reviewers gave this book 5 stars. I am more inclined to -5.

First, the Download Description above is not for this book, Dangerous, but rather another in Millie Criswell's series of western historical romance novels.

I did not like this book. It is totally unbelievable in regards to the time period and plot line. A greenhorn female horticulturist from Boston becomes a bounty hunter and must capture a man accused of murder so that she can collect the $500 reward and keep the home of her aunts from being forclosed by the bank. The BANKER makes it a condition of the mortgage that she capture this outlaw and bring him back for trial? What kind of right would he have for making that kind of demand? Thin plot line, very, very thin. This outlaw was an ex-Texas ranger (wrongly accused, of course) and someone with a huge amount of experience in tracking down men who didn't want to be found. What chance did she have? I'll tell you, none. The brother of the outlaw is our hero and he is still in the Rangers and is trying to get his brother first in order to clear up this mistake. On the trail he comes to a small town which reminds him of another small town where he has had a spot of trouble in the past (can you believe it? that is exactly how the author describes this scene!) so he decides to get drunk in order to forget all his troubles. A woman was pregnant but tried to say it was his baby in order to get him to marry her. He refused and now her four brothers are after him. Well, guess what, they find him. But he is so drunk that he cannot defend himself and the four men are beating him up. Wilhemina just happens to ride upon this scene and is outraged at the uneven numbers. She fights off the four (count them, four) men with her parasol and a derringer she keeps handy in her purse. How stupid can a plot get? She carries a parasol in the scabbard instead of a rifle? Just how many shots did she think that derringer held? How many shots did the author think a derringer held? Absolutely, totally, completely unbelievable!! Even in fictional life those BAD men would have just shot her and been done with it. She had already wasted one shot. What other reviewers see as humor I see as an affront to my intelligence.

I wish I could tell you that it got better. No, no. No such luck. It just went from one awful situation to another until I just had more than I could stomach. This one did not just go into my "to go" box, it was thrown in.
