This review is from: The Ranger And The Redhead (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)

These days good Westerns are so hard to find, but THE RANGER AND THE REDHEAD is wonderful! You'd have to go a long way to find a heroine who is as spunky, yet refined as Charlotte Greenfield. A preacher's daughter on her way west, Charlotte (Charlie) needs to make a whole lot of changes in order to survive, but she never once compromises who she is down deep inside. She'd a fabulous heroine, one I loved and cheered for from the first page to the last.

Will Bondurant is her perfect match. Strong and sometimes taciturn, Will proves again and again that he is a hero worthy of the name. Watching Will and "Charlie" spar -- and make up -- is one of the most delightful things about this story. You just know that when you close the book that these two really are going to live happily ever after.

With the feel of the west as strong as the smell of woodsmoke, this is a fast-paced and well written book. I have a couple of Banning's on my TBR pile, and I've just moved them to the very top.

I enjoyed reading Miss Banning's story. It was the first I've read by this author. The hero and heroine were strong characters and this came through clearly. The vivid settings left me feeling I was there with them, experiencing the heat, cold, and dangers that seemed to come at them at every turn as they travelled across the mid-west to Oregon. Good reading!

Who reads romances for the heroine?

I don't. But I've liked all of Lynna Banning's heroines, which are feisty and determined. In THE RANGER AND THE REDHEAD, Will Bondurant is the perfect match for the brave Charlotte Greenfield, who must travel to Oregon for a teaching job. Will is her guide, and along the way they dodge dangers on the trail--and their growing attraction for each other. Will Bondurant is tough and sexy--and his greatest need is love. I rooted for him all the way.

If you get this title, also try Banning's THE ANGEL OF DEVIL'S CAMP (RITA nominee), LOST ACRES BRIDE, and THE SCOUT.
