5.0 out of 5 stars ONCE A HERO by Theresa Michaels, February 3, 2000

This book is definitely a knockout! It's the fourth book about the infamous Kincaid brothers. And Kee Kincaid is a special kind of hero. He's the adopted son of Logan and Jesse Kincaid(ONCE AN OUTLAW '95) and they have always called him a hero. He's a man who doesn't walk away from a fight or danger in any way. He's brave, loyal and true to the bone. Just the kind of man who would come to a woman's rescue and protect her from harm. And this hero has a horse named Outlaw who is exceptional too, as you will find out. He is also rewarded in the end. What a great story this is. It's an adventure in survival, and a man and a woman who trust in one another as they form a bond of love that is pure gold.

Isabel de Cuervo needed Kee's help in the worse way as she was running from killers who were after a map of a gold mine her grandfather told her the whereabouts of. This gold mine involves the legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine. It is a place of mystery and death. As Kee helps Isabel search for the mine they are beset by all sorts of troubles with a capital T. One of which is trying to fight the explosive pull of passion they have for one another since Isabel has her mission in life and Kee has many trails and things to explore before he settles down. Between the sexual tension and living under the feeling they may be killed at any moment, plus the dangerous trails they travel you feel as strung out as they are. You hardly come up for air it's that exciting! I couldn't put the book down for a minute for fear I would miss something. The love story woven throughout the book is beautiful and endearing. Ms. Michaels does a fine job of building her characeters' relationship into one you won't soon forget. In fact, Theresa Michaels creates heroes that make a bee line right into your heart and soul.

4.0 out of 5 stars Western Romance At Its Best, March 20, 2000

Kenny (Kee) Kincaid is one of those fellas that just can't help being a hero. He's been one since he was orphaned with another little boy when their parents were killed on a trip West. They are the two little boys who rescued Logan Kincaid in this author's story, ONCE AN OUTLAW.

Kee just cannot refuse to help anyone in trouble - after all weren't all the Kincaid men raised like this? So, when he hears a woman's frantic screams - he rides to the rescue.

Right into the path of adventure with Isabel, a mysterious beauty who is not the only one seeking her grandfather's old gold mine. Kee and Isabel will come near death as they search for the gold using her 'special' map. They also scorch the pages with some sensual tension along the way and like the other Kincaids, once Kee is bitten by love he won't give up until he claims her.

It's a delight to reunite with the Kincaid family once again in this setting that takes place ten years after ONCE AN OUTLAW. Kee is another Kincaid hero to love from author Theresa Michaels, one of the best in Western Historicals.

5.0 out of 5 stars THERESA MICHAELS NEVER DISAPPOINTS - WONDERFUL!, March 15, 2000

From the first page of Theresa Michael's thrilling new romance Kee Kincaid - who says he never set out to be a hero - grabs the reader and doesn't let go until the last gripping page. Wow! He's a hero all right, gorgeous, brave, and one of Theresa Michael's best in her celebrated sagas of the Kincaid family. Kee meets his match in fiery Isabel del Cuervo when he tries to figure out why she's involved in the mystery of the legendary Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. It makes for one of the most erotic love scenes I've ever read. Curl up for a few hours and enjoy. Better yet - get out the whole Kincaid series and read them through again. They're a delight!
