I really enjoyed this book. It is a simple story. A lady Lawyer that moves out west after her father dies meets up with a Texas Ranger who is on the hunt for the man who murdered his siter and father. He gets falsely accused of murder and she has to defend him time and again. It doesn't sound like much but what a romantic story! This is what I like, two main characters that like each other (don't fight and hate each other through half the book),have fun together (he teaches her how to play poker and they play for "truths")and a happy, happy ending. A very romantic proposal and if I go on I will ruin this story for you! I loved reading about two people that deserve happiness and get it in the end! Great story.It would have received 5 stars but I thought the "suspense" towards the end and the villians were a little corny but it did not take away from the overall enjoyment of this book.

Once again, Lynna Banning brings us a delightful story set in the Wild West of days gone by. This time, heroine is the spunky Irene Hardisson, a lady lawyer in an era when such women were unheard of. When an act of violence deposits the good-looking Texas Ranger Clayton Black on her doorstep, you just know the sparks are going to fly between these two hard-headed, passionate people. The female characters in Lynna Banning's stories are independent and know their own mind, while still managing to be feminine. The male heroes are gorgeous and kind, a great combination. I enjoyed this intriguing tale, and look forward to more wonderful stories from this talented author. - Sharon Galligar Chance

Clayton Black was sure intrigued by the hat with the cherries.
His one sure way of identifying Irene Hardisson.

Irene Hardisson was raised and practiced law in Philadelphia, she wasn't used to the barbaric way of handling the law in Crazy Creek, Oregon.

She didn't agree with the concept of bringing in a prisoner, dead or alive. But she did like the challenge of games and wondered why her father was against learning to play poker.

As luck would have it, Clayton was willing to teach her. He just wasn't sure who was winning and losing, her or him.

Irene was certainly invading his thoughts and almost making him forget why he was in Crazy Creek, him being a Texas Ranger.

Follow the fumbles and foibles of Irene and Clayton discovering an attraction that was leading them to the unthinkable emotion called Love. How could either expect the other to give up their way of life. He has a ranch in Texas and she has a life in Oregon.

Highly Recommended --M definitely worht reading.

THE LAW AND MISS HARDISSON is delightful and an easy read. This one will capture your heart!

Thank you dear Lynna Banning for such a marvelous story ! An excellent book to spent a great afternoon with a smart Texas-Ranger and a lovely lawyer. I love it - even here in France, now, you've got a fan !

Lynna Banning proves that romance writing can and should be terrific WRITING. I'm in awe of her style and precision in the language. Did I also mention that she is a meticulous researcher and great storyteller?
