Product Description
It takes a strong man to match a MacKenzie woman: the MacKenzie sisters are smart, strong, and sassy. But when Beth is forced to marry her tong-time enemy to save the MacKenzie railroad, she wonders if the price isn't too high.

The ruthless owner of the Lone Star Railroad, Jake Carrington has desired Beth-and her railroad-for years. But when he proposes to her, he's motivated by revenge, not love. Savoring dreams of the marriage bed, the handsome devil never imagines that Beth might turn the tables on him. Like a modern-day Scheherezade, she cleverly puts off the wedding night, one night at a time-but when passion overcomes reason--will love follow? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Railroad Dreamer Meets Financial Genius, April 22, 2000

By	Eleca Hamilton (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mackenzies: Jake (Mackenzies, #6) (Mass Market Paperback)

Beth MacKenzie dreams of finishing college and returning home to help her father, Matthew MacKenzie with their dreams of linking a railroad between Denver and Dallas. But during a starlit night on the banks of the Charles River, Beth meets a young man, Jake from Texas with a devastating smile that causes her heart to flutter. She falls for this handsome college man from the start - love at first sight. They spend a wonderful and passionate weekend together, but Beth's happiness is soon shattered! Beth overhears one of Jake's friends joking about Jake's new reputation for gettting a girl into his bed for the entire weekend. Michael Jacob (Jake) Carrington has to prove himself anew with the fiery professional Miss Beth MacKenzie becomes since their shared weekend. Jake has really fallen for Beth, but now he's got to fix the bridges between them.

This book was a joy and pleasure to read because of the author's ability to bring the characters from the previous books (The MacKenzies: David; and Peter) back. Beth's sister Thia and Angie, along with the other colorful characters made me smile. These sisters have such a strong bond of commitment to each other and their respective dreams for hearths and husbands. I recommend this book, along with the other five books from The MacKenzies Series, prior to reading the next book in the series "Josh" which is scheduled for release in the next few months.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb..., January 21, 2005

By	ThisThatNEverything "thisthatneverything" (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mackenzies: Jake (Mackenzies, #6) (Mass Market Paperback)

I can't say enough about this series. I absolutely love it. This book is tied (the other being The MacKenzies: Cleve) as my favorite in this series. I was a little disappointed when I saw that "Jake" was the title of this book because from reading David & Peter there was somebody else that I was really hoping for to be with Beth. But, as the say don't judge a book by the cover or should I say "title" in this case. I loved seeing everybody from the previous books & I loved what they did with the Billy Boy Walden Gang. I highly recommend this book. I would recommend reading these books in order though so you have a real understanding of what's going on with the other people in the book.

The MacKenzies in order (so far):

Luke
Flint
Cleve
David
Peter
Jake

Don't miss this series it's been the best so far & there's still more to come in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book, March 16, 2004

By	Claudia (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mackenzies: Jake (Mackenzies, #6) (Mass Market Paperback)

It was a nice book but, to understand and enjoy it you need to read first "The mackenzies : Dave" and "The Mackenzies Peter". I didn't read them and i think i've missed a lot of the plot because of that.
