Enjoyable Read, March 17, 2005
This review is from: The Peacemaker (Men of the Saddle #1) (Paperback)
I don't know how she does it, but Lori Copeland manages to write a story that just grabs you. The Peacemaker was written in a lighthearted romantic comedy style that was fun to read.
Wynne Elliot has come to the Old West with one mission. She is going to kill Cass Claxton for leaving her at the alter and taking off with all her money. When her stagecoach is robbed near her destination, she meets Cole and Beau, who unbeknownst to her are Cass' brothers. Cole and Wynne immediately take a dislike to each other when the brothers try to help the people on the stagecoach and she points a gun at their heads, thinking they are more robbers. The feelings continue as events keep putting them together. Cole's manners irritate Wynne, 'pompous idiot' she called him, and her lack of common sense aggravates Cole, 'addlebrained and careless' was his description.
After finishing this first book in the Men of the Saddle series, I am looking forward to reading the next one. The Peacemaker was a very enjoyable read and I recommend it to those that like Christian western romance books.

Old West With Fun and Flair, February 17, 2005
This review is from: The Peacemaker (Men of the Saddle #1) (Paperback)
Lori Copeland deliveres again. Wynne Elliott doesn't take kindly to being jilted at the altar and when she catches up with Cass Claxton, she plans to teach that kiss and run renegade a lesson.
Big brother, Cole Claxton, doesn't believe Cass would mistreat a woman but he has a problem, namely, how to keep Wynne from shooting his baby brother.
Cole is convinced Wynne is the most aggravating, irritating, ill-tempered woman to grace the face of the earth, but she sure is pretty and she has a way of making him forget how much he dislikes her.
Will Cole be able to stop Wynne's quest for revenge before she goes too far? Or will he lose his heart to a woman who is on a misguided search for justice?
The Peacemaker is an entertaining mix of memorable characters, detailed setting, and gentle humor, served up with a Christian message that makes its point without being preachy. Who wouldn't share Wynne's frustration at being jilted? What woman wouldn't fall in love with Cole Claxton? Settle back with the Peacemaker for a visit to the Old West and the lovable Claxton family.
You can always depend on Lori Copeland for a great story and this is one of her better ones.

Mary Connealy- Reviewer for Road to Romance, January 28, 2005
This review is from: The Peacemaker (Men of the Saddle #1) (Paperback)
Lori Copeland had outdone herself with The Peacemaker. The book is pure fun. Cole and Wynne have the pefect love/hate relationship. They bicker and the sparks fly. I enjoyed every step of their journey along the road to true love.
