4.0 out of 5 stars Not Like All the Others, June 6, 2010

This review is from: Man of the West (Signet Eclipse) (Mass Market Paperback)

Unlike the others who have posted reviews here, I liked this book. It wasn't your typical romance novel, but that was fine with me. I'm just plain tired of the same old, same old stuff that shows up in romance novels. The obligatory love scene on page 167, followed by a phony crisis on page 246, followed by an unbelievable resolution on page 320. I was glad to see something different in this book. I thought reading about a relationship between three different couples of different ages and what resulted from the choices they made was interesting. Whether you liked the plot or not, it was written well and the characters were all sympathetic.

4.0 out of 5 stars good read; let down ending, August 5, 2010

This review is from: Man of the West (Signet Eclipse) (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed the story. I agree with another "reviewer" that it wasn't your usual romance/love story. The story had more heart and true to life feelings. I like how the others from the first book "Lone Star Woman" were involved, if not continued. I thought the capture of the ex-husband was a little quick and silly. I was also not satisfied with the quick ending. I also agree with others that the relationship with the two main characters happened rather quickly esp. her coming from a horrible marriage and him not wanting a marriage. The HEAT was an added bonus in the other character story lines. Since I've invested my time in these two books, I hope another about the third cousin comes out so I can have closure with the Strayhorn's.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fails to Satisfy, April 25, 2010

This review is from: Man of the West (Signet Eclipse) (Mass Market Paperback)

The best part about this book is the cover model. I was extremely disappointed and have read all of this author's previous love stories. This one had sub-plots going around and around with very little emphasis on the main character (the Man of the West) and his love interest. It was unrealistic and very unbelievable. Please, we need a SWEET RETURN of Anna Jeffrey's writing style. Don't bother with this one.
