Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Busbee ( Each Time We Love ) reaffirms her long-held place at the top of her genre with this classic romance formula of abduction, escape, seduction and submission. The paradigmatic heroine is the orphaned, destitute Sara Rawlings, who is taken in by Sam Darnell, a distant relative. Sam marries Sara, making her heir to all his holdings--with the exception of Casa Paloma, a Texas ranch that rightfully belongs to his estranged son, Yancy. But when Sam dies, leaving Sara a virgin bride, Yancy learns that Casa Paloma is held in trust for the children Sara might have, and the only way to reclaim his estate is to marry her. Sara loves Yancy--but she also believes he may have murdered Sam's second wife. Highly visual narrative brings to life Texas of the late 1800s, from the once lush and prosperous plantations to Mexican rancheras the size of small towns. Advertising.

This review is from: Love a Dark Rider (Paperback)

the first time i read this book i held it up to the ceiling and screamed yes. shirlee totally eliminated the cravings that were going on inside of me. this book not only massaged my desires, but fed my cravings for satisfaction. it opened me eyes and also taught me how to appreciate another for being different and how exciting one could make the relationship due to that one factor alone. i've been searching all over for this book and now that i've finally found it...well i'm buying it twice and sending one to my book pal in northern illinois. shirlee always amazes me and it seems so ironic that i own other books by her and couldn't tie her to this one...well, keep up the writing shirlee, it's inspirational!

I liked the book well enough, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. But I didn't think it was anything to rave about. I wanted to try a new writer, but i'm not positive this was the greatest choice.

It is nothing short of tragic that this book is out of print. I borrowed it from the library years ago, and have wanted to own it ever since. Busbee knows how to keep her readers on the edge of their seats in breathless anticipation. She paints her scenery vividly in the minds of her audience, and her characters come to life on the page. Definitely worth reading!
