5.0 out of 5 stars
EXCELLENT READ!, December 30, 2001
This review is from: Satan's Angel (Harlequin Historical, No 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
This story, written in 1988, was a definite sign of the times, of authors and editors.
This is a fast - action packed, great twist for a historical story. -- great characters.
First we meet Captain Slater [I don't know if he ever had a first name] capturing the wily outlaw Sam Brody.
Then a funny thing happened on the way to a wedding,[in San Antonio, Texas]. Victoria Stafford and her shy, reclusive cousin Amy get stuck in a little town - Santa Clara.
Sam Brody grabs the fey Amy and makes his escape and disappears.
Tory has the audacity to wear a split skirt and can outride and out shoot most men. She decides to join up with Captian Slater in his hunt for Sam Brodie and the rescue of Amy.
Now the fun begins - what with a wounded Slater - a prowling cougar and the crazy Mileses, Tory and Slater can't help sniping at each other. And gaining respect for each other.
The only problem was, unbeknown to Tory who had a driving need to rescue Amy from a fate worse than death, Amy didn't want or need to be rescued. Her own brand of alure was bringing the rough, hardened outlaw to his knees.
Two strong men with healthy fears of being fenced in and two stubborn women who soon lost their inhabitiions [HA!] tangled and came to a great conclusion with the help of the sneaky snake Cam McBride.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- Great Frontier story!
