Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1999

Who was the mother of his son?

Callie Walters stirred Sam Landry's senses in every way—and she might be the mother of the little boy he loved as his own. Callie's baby had been kidnapped at birth—now, Sam had to discover the truth. A truth someone was determined Callie would never know….

Sam was the oldest Landry brother, the solid one, the protector. He knew his ranch was the one place he could guard Callie from whoever wanted to keep her from her child. But by reuniting mother and son, would he lose the boy he loved—or gain the family he'd always wanted?

The LANDRY BROTHERS

Ranchers at heart, protectors by instinct—lovers for keeps.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Heart-tugging Nailbiter, October 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: His Only Son (The Landry Brothers, Book 1) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #535) (Mass Market Paperback)

"His Only Son" is a book that combines strong emotion and a twisty mystery into a read that's not to be missed. The story of a man and woman united when his son turns out to be her kidnapped child, it not only is moving, but a real pageturner when it comes to the intrigue element. There is a lot that needs to happen to make the romance believable in a situation like this, and Roberts pulls it off with ease. The dialogue is great, with banter that's thankfully based on real emotion instead of sniping and innuendo. Parts of the story are so honest and raw they're almost painful to read, but in the end, the reading experience is much more rewarding because we've come through it all with the characters. The rest of the Landry brothers are introduced in subtle ways that indicate Ms. Roberts has some interesting tales in store for us. A red hot start for a series that finds this favorite author in top form.

5.0 out of 5 stars A grest start to a great new series, November 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: His Only Son (The Landry Brothers, Book 1) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #535) (Mass Market Paperback)

This tale of parental devotion has lots of twists and turns. Sam Landry is to die for and if he's any example of the 7 Landry Brothers in this series, I can't wait for the other 6.

As always, Ms. Roberts' humor shines through and her dialogue is sheer perfection. That's what makes her characters and her stories so memorable.

I highly sugggest you order this and get in from the very beginning!

(This is a repost of my review from October. I recently reread it and decided it certainly deserved that fifth star. I haven't always enjoyed her books, but this is one of her best. A must-read.)
