Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Bounty hunter Samantha Kincade will do anything to get Hannibal Cotwell, the man who has brutally destroyed her family-even use an innocent man as bait. But when that same man saves her life and then ends up scheduled for hanging, Sam knows she has to do something drastic. Dashes of humor pepper this well-crafted historical, which joins a tough, determined heroine with an equally focused hero and sends them off in vengeful pursuit of the same man. (Although this is not primarily an "issues" romance, child abuse, spousal abuse, and abandonment are motivating elements.) Osborne has also written The Wives of Bowie Stone (Warner, 1994).

5.0 out of 5 stars This butterfly escaped from it's cacoon., June 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Seduction of Samantha Kincade (Paperback)

Theis is the story about a girl who grew up as a guy and fought like a guy and walked like a guy and the MAN that changed all of that. Sam was a bounty hunter with a personal vendetta against Trace Arden's brother for killing her family. She caught him then got bitten by a rattle snake. Trace saved her life then changed her life. She went from the short haired boy of seventeen who didn't have any whiskers to the well developed woman of nineteen who looked like a dream and acted like a queen. All the changes came through the love of a good man with a tough choice to make. He had to choise between family and honor. He had to decide if he could really shoot his own brother for sleeping with his wife while he was away. He had to choose if he could convince Samamtha that he really had gotten over his dead wife ahd that he really did love her. He had to show the little tomboy that she was really a beautiful butterfly hidden on the inside of a hurt little girl. He had to be a MAN in the truest sense of the word.

This was a pretty nice little (quick) read. The story is well thought out and didn't progress exactly as I thought it would. The ending was a bit predictable and I would have enjoyed more tension and a confrontation between Sam and her uncle and the Snow family but I guess you can't have it all! I mean it was all quite made up anyways and certainly not very historically accurate but overall it was okay.
