Zach or Wild Fire?, December 1, 2008
This review is from: Zack: Armed and Dangerous (Paperback)
I was a bit disappointed when I recieved this book and found out I had already read it. Cheyenne released this book with Ellors'a Cave, the name of the book was Wild Fire. If I had know that I would not have bought this book because I already read it. Cheyenne changed the name of the book and the character's names, the rest of it was basiclly the same story, most of it word for word. It had been a couple of years since I read Wild Fire so I did read Zach and enjoyed it. Next time I will check more into buying a book from Cheyenne because this was a five book series and after spending another $14.99 on a book I already read was kinda like throughing money out the window.

Sexy, enjoyable contemporary western romance, November 25, 2008
This review is from: Zack: Armed and Dangerous (Paperback)
Just over ten years ago, the man Sky MacKenna loved more than life itself broke off their relationship, moving far away. . The emotional devastation he wrought changed her for good. She has tried to move on, to forget Zack Hunter, but no other man can take the place he still has in her heart, much to her dismay.
Now Zack's job as an agent of ICE brings him back, both to her town and to her life. He knows he messed up before, and he has his mind set on winning her back. It will take a lot to win back her trust, much less her heart, but Zack will do whatever it takes to make the past up to Sky.
First, though, he must find and apprehend the cattle rustlers who are steadily stealing Sky's prize herd, not to mention threatening the lives of both Sky and her staff.
I have a thing for contemporary romances with a Western theme, and when you add a sexy crime fighting cowboy into the mix, I just can't resist. When Cheyenne McCray's novel ZACK: ARMED AND DANGEROUS came up for review, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted it.
This marks my first read by Cheyenne McCray, and I quite enjoyed it. I am very much looking forward to more ARMED AND DANGEROUS titles from this talented author.
Zack stole my heart, pure and simple. The man was hotter than a branding iron and as noble as you would expect a good hero to be. He made mistakes, yes, but he has learned from them and is eager to rectify them. Watching him as he works hard to prove his love to Sky is absolutely heart melting. No task is too menial; nothing is beneath him, not if it is something she needs. He keeps her well-being and happiness first and foremost in his mind, until his perseverance and consideration finally break down the wall she has built around her heart.
Sky is understandably hesitant to become involved with her ex again. I mean come on, he hurt her once already, and her heart never really recovered from it. Another such blow would be devastating to anyone. Of course, that doesn't mean she is immune to him, not by a long shot. She succumbs to his physical charms long before she allows her heart to open up to him again.
One thing I would have liked to have seen more of in the story is Sky's inner struggle regarding taking Zack back. I could feel her love for him, I knew she was reluctant to renew the relationship, and I could see the reasons why she should give Zack another chance. What I didn't see was Sky really considering the things Zack did to win her back. She thought a lot about their chemistry, and she definitely did see the things he did for her, but I would have appreciated seeing her really think about those things more before she finally gave him another chance.
ZACK: ARMED AND DANGEROUS is a wonderful, sexy romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat with suspense even while it nurtures the romantic inside you.

engaging border second chance at love romance, November 27, 2008
This review is from: Zack: Armed and Dangerous (Paperback)
A decade ago in Douglas, Arizona not far from the Mexican border Zack Hunter met nineteen year old Skylar McKenna and fell in love. However, he was a troubled youth and concluded that Skylar deserved much better than a thug like him as he knew he would just bring her down into his cesspool. Instead He left town breaking her heart, but keeping her from drowning in his ooze.
Ten years since he made that honorable momentous decision to leave, Zack has spent the entire time wondering if he did the right thing as his heart says no while his brain insists he had to for both their sakes. He is back in town, a respectable lawman who immediately at first sight wants the still unmarried Sky at his side forever. Zack believes that if he catches the rustlers stealing cattle from her Flying M Ranch, she will forgive and take him back. He still does not understand her love for him remains unconditional.
This engaging border second chance at love romance provides a vivid picture of ranching in an area where illegal contraband that includes people is smuggled into the country. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Zack returns home and never slows down whether he is hunting rustlers and smugglers or having sex with his beloved. Although he can be an overbearing bully with his claim that she has no choice as she belongs to him, fans will appreciate Sky's superior skills in disarming dangerous Zack.
