Nursing Ty back from death's grasp, she realizes that neither Lucifer nor her heart are safe from this man's fierce determination.

This review is from: Reckless Love (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Elizabeth Lowell books, she is a great writer.

Reckless love had adventure, passion, and it kept me at the edge of my seat. I had a great time reading it and couldn't put it down. There was never a dull moment.

Janna Wayland lived her whole life with her father untill he dies and lives her all alone on the frontier. But Janna is a fighter, she has a wild love for where she lives, her herbs, and the wild mustangs she tames.

When she saves Ty MacKenzie's life she has a man wilder than any of the mustangs she's ever tamed. But she doesn't want to tame Ty, she wants him to love her as much as she loves him. She gives him all herself whole heartedly risks her heart to the man of her dreams.

After the Civil War, Ty proised himself that he would have his dream woman, a silken lady or nothing at all. So when he awakes to find himself in the care of a wild beauty, and he can't keep his hands of her, he fights the feelings he has for her.

But none of his self restraint can keep him from taking all that Janna gives to him however. He wants his freedom and doesn't want to be saddled with a wild waif. However, when he realizes that his dream had been stupid and that freedom would be nothing without Janna, he has to canvince her of that.

RECKLESS LOVE is a romantic novel that is full of adventure and so much passion that it sizzles! If you love horses, especially wild mustangs, it is the book for you. Elizabeth Lowell again shows readers the power of love and the wild live of the frontier.

It is a must read! Read and Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read from Elizabeth Lowell!, February 29, 2000

By 

azteclady (Winter Springs FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reckless Love (Mass Market Paperback)

I like most of Elizabeth Lowell [aka Ann Maxwell] books, and have trouble deciding if I like her historicals better than her contermporaries. This book, which ties to contemporaries "Fire and Rain", "Ganite Man", "Outlaw" and "Warrior" doesn't make a decision any easier. I really liked both characters, especially Janna's strenght. Contrary to what someone else said in a previous review, I find it quite logical that she recognizes her feelings for Ty as love pretty soon; after all, love usually starts as attraction and admiration, maybe infatuation even. She has seen Ty's courage and strenght in surviving Cascabel's torture, and then she has nursed him to heal his wounds. Of course it doesn't hurt that he is a hunk. As for his feelings, once again I disagree. I think that through most of the novel you can see how he is changing... He is the one who doesn't get it. In sum, I do love this book. Is another one of my many favorites by E. Lowell. Now what I would really like even more would be for her to write books with Ty's brothers and sister stories...

If you are wondering if you should get this book, you should definately get it! Lowell has once again written an awesome western romance! Jenna and Ty are so easy to fall in love with that you won't want the book to end! Jenna and Ty's struggles will surely keep you in suspense to see what happens next!
