The Devil's Daughter (The Devil Ryder) [Kindle Edition]

Suzie Grant (Author)

Book Description

A bounty hunter facing his past

Gade Ryder returns to Eden, Texas, after twelve years to investigate a gang of rustlers on the family ranch. Had he accepted the job out of misplaced family loyalty or was it the compelling mystery of the devil’s daughter keeping him in the one place he didn’t want to be? Confronted by the memory of his mother’s suicide and the father he blames for her death, Gade finds himself seeking comfort from the one woman he couldn’t trust.

A criminal on the run

Blaze Marie Austin, once a little girl forced to be an outlaw, finds a chance at redemption by repaying the man who’d saved her life. Only her savior’s estranged son accuses her of betrayal and ignites a passion she can’t deny.

When the little criminal is accused of murder, Gade’s growing attraction for her could not only cost him his freedom, it may well cost him his life.

About the Author

Suzie’s life has been one big adventure. Her childhood was full of reading the classics like Treasure Isle, Robinson Crusoe and The Swiss Family Robinson tales. In fact her mother has another word for her “stories” but to this day, Suzie continues to dream up adventures of her own.
As a pregnant teen her adventure became a life-defining moment as she struggled to survive and raise a child on her own. During those rocky years writing became an emotional outlet. After a very long divorce she again finds herself climbing that rocky path of life and has learned to live by a single quote: “Obstacles are placed in our path to determine whether we really wanted something, or just thought we did.” By Dr. Harold Smith.
Suzie looks forward to each new obstacle. Taking life by the proverbial horns, Suzie now lives happily ever after with her new beau, three boys, and one little Shih tzu named Peppy Le’Pew in NC. One day she plans to retire and sail along the east coast, an adventurer to the end.

This was a great western with a strong heroine and a sexy hero. The scenes were action packed and the romance was hot! I would buy another book from Suzie Grant in a heartbeat!

4.0 out of 5 stars good stuff April 17, 2011

I do not review e-books. The idea of reading without holding the book in my hands and the action of turning pages just doesn't hold any interest for me. Before I decided on this policy, however, I agreed to read and review 'The Devil's Daughter'. You guessed it - it's an ebook.

Testament to the story and writing style of author, Suzie Grant, I cuddled up on the couch and read this lovely novel in one sitting on my laptop. Not only did I read it in one sitting but I got so lost in the story that I totally forgot I was reading it off of my computer. What a lovely escape from my afternoon.

Who can resist a romance of the old west? Cowboys and outlaws, saloons and sprawling ranches. Sigh. Each of the characters in this novel is flawed in some way. Each needs to come to terms with their past and the impact past events have had on their lives. But for me the very best part of the entire experience was the heroine of the story: Blaze Marie Austin. I have to admit I am a sucker for a strong female lead. Any woman that can out shoot the men and live her life her way, is a woman I want to know.

Every steamy romance novel I have ever read has the same basic formula. Man and woman meet. Man and woman are attracted to each other but that attraction manifests itself as a war of wills. Man overpowers woman and she gives up everything to be with him. Ms Grant follows the formula to a point. I suggest you read the book and discover for yourself at which point she deviates. For me it was the deviation that made the book.

So if you want an easy, satisfying read to take with you to the beach or curl up with on those cold rainy or snowy days, or if you've never tried an ebook and want the experience, you might want to give 'The Devil's Daughter' a go. It was good for me, let me know if it was good for you too. ;o)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great First Book! April 6, 2011

By Eric C.

Format:Kindle Edition

I'll admit, I haven't read a lot of westerns, but I'm glad I picked this one up. Suzie Grant paints a vivid picture of a dusty town in the old west and really immerses you in the time and place. Blaze and Gade's relationship is rough and tumultuous, just like the terrain they have to ride every day, but that makes the tender, romantic parts even more rewarding. I think Ms. Grant's strengths lie in the action scenes, though, which left me on the edge of my seat. My favorite character, however, was Gade's brother, Garret, and I'm really hoping his book is next in the series. -Mrs. C
