Of all the romance novels I've ever read (and believe me, that's a lot), this book has quite possibly THE best male character of all. Raddon develops the character of Buck Maddux very thoroughly, and she isn't afraid to spend as much time with him as she spends with the female protagonist, Tempest Whitney. We know exactly why Buck acts the way he does, and we know that the reasons why he and Tempest fall in love with each other go beyond proximity and physical attraction (relatively rare qualities in romance novels). This, in combination with excellent supporting characters and an absorbing plot, pretty much guarantees that you'll at least like--if not love--this book.

Widow Tempest Whitney was tough because she had to be. Otherwise, she and her two small children would never have scratched out an existence in the harsh, dry Utah canyon country. But when Buck Mattock and his devil-smile come into her life, she discovers a wealth of passion she's hidden even from herself. You'll want to hug Angel, Tempest's adorable 4-year-old. You'll bleed for Tempest and fall in love with Buck.

If you love a good western with a big dash of spice, then this is the story for you! Buck says to Tempest, "I'm afraid with you, I'll always want more." So it is with a Charlene Raddon story--this writer leaves you wanting more! Zebra--get with the program and print more copies of To Have And To Hold! Lovely cover; lovely writing.
