Review

Four luscious stories to celebrate Texas Independence month go on sale in March of 1999 in St. Martin's To Tame a Texan. Characters as rich and varied as the land they celebrate grace the pages of this novel, each as different and exciting as a rich diner, filled with enough spice and romance to satisfy even the most jaded of palettes. -- Kathee S. Card, Under the Covers

This review is from: To Tame a Texan (Mass Market Paperback)

To Tame A Texan contains four short love stories set in, you guessed it, Texas. This anthology contains stories by Evelyn Crowe, Lorraine Heath, Vivian Vaughn and Eileen Wilks -- some fine writers indeed. Unfortunately, the stories are all average (or below) and center around the heroine's attempt to "tame" their cowboy. That's all fine and dandy and truly I have nothing against a sexy cowboy being tamed by the love of a strong woman. BUT because of the length of each story none of these heroines succeeded in making me believe that all had ended happily ever after. I could even picture two of these couples spending a lot of hours in divorce court a few years down the road.

This is certainly not a bad book, the authors create some witty repartee and fun situations and even tug on the heartstrings a little, but it isn't a book I'd call satisfying. The plots and characters were not fleshed out enough and this greedy reader wanted more (especially of the Lorraine Heath story which introduced two wonderful characters)!

Lorraine Heath's story gets my vote as the best of the bunch, although it is rather short to be memorable. The others are forgettable. If not for Heath, this book will get two stars.
