When Willow Ames leaves El Paso to meet her new employer, she hadn't expected him to be the arrogant cowboy who had propositioned her just the night before. Running from a forced marriage, Willow has no choice but to accept the job, though she makes it clear she's not there to play house. Still, as Willow works alongside her new boss, sharing the hardships of ranch life, Willow realizes that if he asked her to marry "him", she'd run again--straight into his arms.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars for Ms. Hess!, February 13, 2002

I loved this story. Not how it started, but the budding romantic parts between Jules and Willow.

Willow's father wants to use the water that is on Buck Axel's land for his cattle, and to get that he has to get access to the land and plots to marry his daughter (who despises him for his treatment of her mother) off to Buck Axel and he will marry her off to the Brute at any costs.

Her mother writes to a friend's son about helping her get a job on his ranch and he accepts. So her mother and the hired hand, Smitty helps Willow escape the clutches of her father and Buck Axel and into the arms of the ruggedly handsome Jules Asher! A love story I still remember 3 years after first reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner for Ms Hess, April 22, 1998

This review is from: Willow (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

For my money Willow is another Great for Ms Hess. It was almost like being on the side line and watching two young people at war with them self and their pride. Each found pride made a cold bed fellow. The ride to Corrie Mae's cabin in the mountains, I could almost feel the cold wind in my face, just to be able to live there would be a dream for me. Jules, a man use to having his way with women, met his match with Willow. The few days Willow spent in the mountains made Jules feel what it would be to live the rest of his life with his well guarded freedom. Even with the peace of the cabin, Willow learned what life without Jules would be like and what was really important to her. I bought this book at lunch time, by the next morning I had finished it. I'm forced to buy all of Ms Hess' books, because they are always checked out at the library. Besides if I buy them I can re read them any time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't the BEST, but was good., November 5, 2006

This review is from: Willow (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

I liked the book, the only thing I didn't like was that in the writing it was like she was trying to cram everything into the book and leaving alot out, I felt it needed a little more description, not too much though. Otherwise, I did enjoy the book, the story line and the charactors.
