This is the first book of the Delany brothers trilogy, including, "To Love A Stranger", "To Tame A Renegade", "To Tempt A Rogue". This story is of the eldest brother Pierce Delany. He and his brothers have sworn to never fall in love or marry, all women are trouble, well everything is about to change when Pierce is shot by a group of vigalanties and he has to hide in Zoey Fuller's root cellar. He is accussed of a heinous crime that he didn't cimmit and has nowhere to go. Zoey finds him near death and she saves his life only to coerce him into marrying her to save her ranch from a corrupt banker. Things get out of control when the pair fall in love and Pierce refuses to acknowledge it. I loved this story. Pierce is a man hurting and capable of love, but he is afraid to take a chance. As always Connie Mason delivers an exciting story that you can't put down until you read the very last page. His younger brothers Chad and Ryan are the main characters of the next two books in that order. Chad's tale begins to take form in the last chapters of this story and continues in "To Tame A Renegade".

I like the fact that the story kept going, never a dull moment. Connie Mason knows how to keep the reader guessing and when the truth is reveal,the story still continued.This book is about the first Delany brother's, but I suggest you get all three of them. A great story.

This is a great book...in fact this is the first book that i've read by Connie Mason. I think her characters are all well rounded. This story is pretty yucky in some parts, but the story is pretty well rounded. At first I was thinking this is a big book and it'll proably drag on, but it didn't. It is a very nice story and I really liked it...now i have to go out and get the sequel.

Loved it it was expected of Connie Mason expect no less if your not a connie mason fan and don't know what to expect in her books then you might not like it..Pierce and Zoey were at it like dogs in heat seriously the love scences were extreme between then, the brothers just loveable how they stick together and the Doolittiles whatever their last name is is a sicko bunch...

I JUST finished reading this book about an hour ago- it is excellent! I have a ton of connie mason's books, but this one is fabulous! It never got dull or repetetive. I read it nonstop, and it is totally worth reading. Her stories are easy to get into, and they are hard to put down. BUY IT!

I loved it. I coulden't put it down. I really loved the part where he sneaks into her hotel room. I can't wait for the book about Pierce's brother Chad to come out

This book would be ten pages if not for the CONSTANT repetition of phrases. Ms. Mason found herself a few key phrases she found to be terribly tricky, clever and smart ('Railroaded into marriage', for instance) and proceeds to milk them for everything they are worth, which is not a whole lot. The characters are stereo-typical and juvenile, at best, and none of them are particularly 'charming'. The plot is like the song that never ends going from one 'snafu' to the next, none of them particularly harrowing or engaging. Frankly this book could not have been worse if it TRIED. Save your money and choose something by Joan Johnston, who refrains from railroading her characters into marriage.

Favorite scene with Zoey-
Her whole ordeal when Willoughby captured and drugged her. And drugging his ranch hands so she could get away and help Pierce.

Favorite scene with Pierce-
Being attacked by Willoughby's men, and outsmarting them until help came.

Together-
Zoey following Pierce into town to steal what's Zoey's from Willoughby's office.

What did you like about Zoey-
Her strength and charm. Her toughness, although she took risks. Always there for Pierce, even when he didn't deserve it. Helping Cora Lee, despite what she had done.

What didn't you like about Zoey-
The only thing I didn't like was that she kept her pregnancy from him.

What did you like about Pierce-
His love for his brothers. Despite distrusting Zoey, he would have done anything to help and protect her.

What didn't you like about Pierce-
His dislike and distrust for women, although I can understand in a way how he felt because of what he'd been through. But he was willing to put Zoey in the category of his ex-wife and Cora Lee.

If I had to cast Zoey, I'd cast Renee Zellweger.
If I had to cast Pierce, I'd cast Cameron Mathison.

When I read about this book I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it until my co-worker said how good it was. After reading "To Love A Stranger." I ran out and bought "To Tame A Renegade." I hope it will be as good as Pierce book. I highly recommend this book great job Ms. Mason.
