5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!!, January 4, 2001

Why shouldn't he come back? This was his home. He even owned part of the land. He was ready to put down roots and what better place for that than his home. That was the excuse he gave to his Aunt Imogene and cousin, Preston. They were leary of him and rightfully so because his real reason for returning was revenge. He was considered the renegade, the black sheep of the family and he fully expected to exact his revenge on the family who scorned him for so many years. But he hadn't counted on Susan Blackstone, widow of his cousin Vance. Love became the wild card in the battle for control of the family company and Cord Blackstone realized it was too soon to know who held the winning hand.

Susan first laid eyes on Cord when he appreared in the open French doors at her party. He looked self-assured, the type of man who was willing to take risks. She thought he looked like a pirate, a man no one would cross. As a hostile silence began to fall over the room, she sensed trouble and decided to diffuse the situation. Slowly she went to him. She didn't know who he was but she would welcome this guest into her home. She would befriend this man everyone seemed to dislike.

This story was written by LH in 1985 and published as a Silhouette Intimate Moments series romance. I think Susan Blackstone was Linda's first strong heroine. Susan was faced with the danger that someone wanted to financially ruin her family. She fought back with everything she had to prevent this disaster and in the process showed Cord that he deserved love and there was a place for him with his family.

If you are a LH fan, as I am, you won't want to miss this one. An excellent story!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Revenge isn't Sweet!, June 11, 2000

Black sheep Cord Blackstone has returned to his family for revenge against his cousin, Preston, and Preston's mother. He doesn't plan to fall in love with Preston's widowed sister-in-law, Susan Blackstone. Susan loves Cord, but she has to help the family who was there for her after her husband's death, even if it tears her from Cord.

Howard's books wring your emotions dry, from laughter to tears. TEARS OF THE RENEGADE is no exception. By the end of the book, you feel deep satisfaction by the way every is tied up and the hero and heroine are united. You are also exhausted by the adventure, emotionally and physically. I have rarely seen an author whose every book is a keeper. Linda Howard is one of those rare individuals.

By A Customer

This review is from: Tears Of The Renegade (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 92) (Paperback)

This book, is by far, one of the best stories I have ever read. It will send you on a roller coaster ride of emotions, especially if you have ever been in a "difficult" relationship. You'll be laughing and crying up until the very last page. Hats off to Linda Howard and may all of you enjoy this wonderful novel!
