4.0 out of 5 stars
Surprising, yet satisfying, conclusion., June 11, 2000
This review is from: The Wildes of Wyoming -- Ace (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1009) (Intimate Moments, 1009) (Paperback)
This last installment of Ruth Langan's trilogy, The Wildes of Wyoming, is fulfilling and just a bit surprising in terms of plot. It is the characters, however, who drive this plot towards an excellent finish.
Ace Wilde comes into contact with Ally Brady in Clancy's where she is systematically hustling the cowboys out of their money by feigning ignorance when it comes to pool. By the night's end, she cons our unvanquished hero, a qualified target in her eyes, out of a thousand dollars. Ace is left drunk, humiliated, and enraged. But of course Ally is not the mercenary she seems to be. She needs the money to help her grandfather whom she loves dearly and has finally come home to.
Danger threatens the Bradys as well as the Wildes and they successfully deal with this unexpected, and overarching, dilemma. In the meantime, Ace and Ally have their hands filled trying to outhustle each other into a happy ending and coming to terms with the love they are coming to share.
I really enjoyed getting to know both Ace and Ally. I had been looking forward to Ace's story from the start and was not disappointed.
The Wildes of Wyoming is a trilogy that is memorable and enjoyable. The bond between the brothers and how they make the most of their father's legacy is wonderful to read about. I have to admit that Hazard is my favorite of the three brothers. I really found myself admiring and respecting Ace as a hero because his dependability manifests itself when he puts his heart on the line and falls in love with Ally.

4.0 out of 5 stars
well written enjoyable story, May 23, 2001
This review is from: The Wildes of Wyoming -- Ace (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1009) (Intimate Moments, 1009) (Paperback)
The conclusion in the Wilde trilogy, Ace's story was not, in my opinion, the best of the three (though he is certainly the most charming brother!), but it was highly enjoyable. The sparks and feuds between Ace and Ally only serve to heat things up, and for those who were waiting for Ace to finally meet his match in a woman, you won't be disappointed. The characters in the Wilde trilogy are rich and full of life...Ally and her cantankerous grandfather, the newcomers in this book, personify the characterization standards we have come to expect from Ms. Langan by the end of this trilogy. Though my personal favorite is Chance, I would swoon for any of these three brothers.

The Wildes of Wyoming - Ace, June 9, 2000
This review is from: The Wildes of Wyoming -- Ace (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1009) (Intimate Moments, 1009) (Paperback)
The third in the Wildes of Wyoming series. A good story that ties up all the loose ends and offers a solution to the problems the three Wilde brothers are experiencing. Ace the youngest (and wildest) of the three boys is a hustler, a gambler and has been from the time he was a teenager. He now runs a very successful mining business using these talents. He meets his match in Ally Brady the granddaughter of an old enemy of Ace's deceased father. When Allycat cons him and beats him at his own game(pool), he has to have her for his own. But her grandfather hates his family, someone is trying to ruin his business, and Ally has his hormones in such a tizzy he can't think straight. At least as good a story as the previous two and maybe better. I recommend it to those who enjoy a walk on the Wilde side.
