Saddled is a FIVE STAR romance! It has everything a romance reader could ask for- love, danger, action and sparkling wit. With Saddled, Delores Fossen has written a tremendous romantic comedy with a very funny western slant. Ladies, not only will you fall in love with the handsome hero, Rio McCaine, but all the characters as well. From the spunky heroine, Abbie Donegan to her adorable outspoken kid sister, Gussie. The story is fast paced, the humor is really funny, and the romantic scenes... well, let's just say they are VERY WELL DONE! You DON'T want to miss this book!

Saddled is a darn good read!

If you like humor and romance and ... heroes, SADDLED has everything you want.

In this Texas historical romance, Rio McCaine agrees to Abbie Donegan's marriage proposal, but it's only to save his ranch. He's not so foolish as to trust her with his heart, even though he finds her unexpectedly attractive.

Like Rio, Abbie Donegan is not the trusting sort either. She thinks she's holding all the aces when she make her marriage proposal to Rio-- and it's all to get back at his scalawag half-brother.

Both are determined not to lose their hearts. But keeping the marriage one "in name only" is tough.

These two characters are very real, and I only hope some of Abbie's siblings will have their own stories!

A really good read :)

In 1881 Fall Creek, Texas, Abbie Dongan climbs through the window of the whorehouse so she can offer a deal to half-breed Rio McCane. She knows he needs money to fend off creditors due to the failures of his half-brother. Abbie, who was ruined by her two days of captivity by the Apaches, asks Rio to marry her and help her free fellow prisoner Harmony from Gray Wolf. He must also live on her ranch until his presence makes Carmella leave. If he does all that, he gets his ranch back free of debt.

Abbie and Rio marry and he now regains his deceased father's ranch back from the bank. After the ceremony, Abbie's first surprise surfaces as she informs Rio that her half sister, a nun, Sister Victoria will ride with them. Also joining them is little Gussie, a maybe half-sister, plus a dog. When he married her, Rio knew his wife kept some secrets from him, but he begins to wonder what her true agenda is and what adventure will she take them on in the future?

Anyone "SADDLED" WITH Delores Fossen's western romance will know they have read an enjoyable tale. The story line is amusing because of the antics of Abbie. Rio is a heroic hunk who knows his wife is unconventional but finds he loves her anyway. Sub-genre fans will gain much delight from Ms. Fossen's historical romantic romp.

I bought this book after reading the reviews and was pleasantly surprised that I agreed with the previous readers. This book is hilarious without being silly. I don't usually read historical romance, but I liked these characters because they were atypical. Her dialogue was well written and fast paced. The love scenes were HOT!! I laughed my way through this book and then re-read it the next day. Definitely a keeper. Can't wait for her next book.

Very funny with lots of twists and turns. I love books set in Texas and found it refreshing that the story didn't take place on a cattle ranch. From my experience, most Texas-set historicals are about ranching, but it was fun to read about that riverboat house that was aground out in the middle of nowhere. I also especially liked the little girl, Gussie. What a hoot.

I really liked Abbie in this book because she stood up for herself, and she kept me laughing. Her husband, Rio, is my kind of guy. He was strong and tough without being a jerk. I almost didn't buy this book though because of the cover. I mean, the cover doesn't make it look like a comedy, but it is. It's one of the funniest books I've ever read.

I don't usually buy historical romances, but I was in the mood for a comedy and picked up this one. It didn't disappoint me. The main characters, Rio and Abbie, are colorful to say the least and gave me pages of fun with their antics as they traveled from Fall Creek, Texas, to Abbie's riverboat house in southern Texas. Add to that Abbie's sisters, who have a crazy way of keeping Rio on his toes, and the story just raced right along. I loved Abbie's devotion to her three sisters--Gussie, especially. Abbie's certainly no wimp, and Rio with his dry sense of humor and heroics is a perfect match for her.

I just love books with humor, and Saddled didn't disappoint me. From the opening scene where Abbie climbs through the window of a saloon, the witty dialogue just kept me laughing. There are some very hot scenes in this book, but they were funny as well.

This book is definately a winner and is perfect if you want a great quick read. Not the best book I have ever read, but very good and quite funny at times. This girl is so spunky and has an attitude and shes not afraid to use it. Rio of course is perfect and so wonderful in the love scenes. If you love funny historicals, I highly recommend Heartstrings by Rebecca Paisley. It is even funnier than this, but its hard to find. Also the Makenzies series by Ana Leigh are very funny with great love scenes. Start at the beginning with Luke. If you enjoy Saddled these are even better. ...

This is a good book to while away your time at the beach or on the plane. A light, entertaining romance full of humour and some steamy scenes. The opening chapter was the best I've read and kept me chuckling. I've got my money's worth of fun!
