Jenny Cussler's Last Stand [Kindle Edition]

Bess McBride (Author)

Book Description

Social worker Jenny Cussler has a number of Native American veterans in her caseload and is attracted to their culture. When given the opportunity to attend a weeklong awareness camp on a reservation high in the mountains, she is eager despite the distance from her established city life.

Clint Hastings, a presenter at the camp, has no intention of straying outside his race for a relationship. But this perky redhead captivates his attention and constantly needs rescuing -- when she's not rescuing him from the clutches of the woman he managed to evade a year ago and who's back stalking him again.

Clint soon loses his heart, while Jenny is charmed but realizes how little they have in common. In the real world away from the mountain, there might not be a happy-ever-after ending. Is she ready to trade her pavement-bound existence for the reservation? Or would he be willing to give up his chosen lifestyle?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!!! December 19, 2012

By Diana Coyle

Format:Kindle Edition

I loved this latest book by Ms. McBride. I found myself instantly bonding with Jenny Cussler, the author's main female character, because she was so down to earth and had a few insecurities about her that made her so realistic. Ms. McBride didn't disappoint with this story and I highly recommend it. The author has a smooth, flowing writing style that's a pleasure to read and I have to say I eagerly look forward to reading any book she writes!

5.0 out of 5 stars A First Rate Romance December 10, 2012

By Donna Michaels

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

A wonderful, heartfelt story with real-life choices and conflicts. Ms. McBride penned a winner. Her settings and descriptions are vivid. I felt like I was on that beautiful mountain. Bess' characters come from two completely different backgrounds and races yet, Clint and Jenny have a connection that is strong enough to hold up against their differences. Jenny Cussler's Last Stand is another well-written gem from this author and I look forward to her next release.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Thought You Read It All . . . February 1, 2013

By Laura, Texas

Format:Kindle Edition

When I read the blurb on this book, I was excited. Love Indian men? Check. Love romance where opposites attract? Check. Love twists and turns in a story? Check, check, check. Per usual, Ms. McBride does NOT disappoint. What woman that has grandchildren wouldn't like to have the guts to go and do something worthwhile and different for a change? I, for one, don't know if I would have the guts to go on an adventure like Jenny did without really knowing what might happen but counting on what could. She expected to gain knowledge of the Native American culture and make a few friends. Mission accomplished. The unknown was the tall, dark and handsome Clint Hastings (pant, sigh, drool). He makes Jenny feel beautiful and desirable in spite of her belief that she is none of those things. Her lack of self-esteem and self-confidence is what makes you cheer on their relationship. The push-pull between this couple lends itself to an almost tantric romance without being blue. I thorougly enjoyed the story. The unique writing style consistently provided by the author is why she remains a "must read" author for this reader.

More About the Author

A little bit about me: I made my first serious writing attempt when I was fourteen when I shut myself up in my bedroom one summer while obsessively working on a time travel/pirate novel set in the beloved Caribbean of my youth, but I wasn't able to hammer it out on a manual typewriter (oh yeah, I'm that old) before it was time to go back to school. The draft of that novel has long since disappeared, but the story is still simmering within, and I have high hopes of finishing the adventure one day soon.

I was born in Aruba to American parents, and I lived in Venezuela until my family returned to the United States when I was twelve. I couldn't fight the global travel bug, and I joined the U.S. Air Force at eighteen to "see the world." After twenty wonderful and fulfilling years traveling the world, I pursued my dream of finally getting a college education. With a license in mental health therapy, I worked with veterans, and I continue to work on behalf of veterans. I write romantic suspense, contemporary, light paranormal/fantasy and time travel romances. I can be contacted through my web site at http://www.bessmcbride.com or my blog at https://willtravelforromanceblogspot.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
