Review

“Susan May Warren once again delivers that perfect combination of heart-pumping suspense and heart-warming romance.”--Tracey Bateman, author of the Claire Everett series

Product Description
Nick Noble hadn't planned on being the prodigal son. But when his father dies and leaves half of Silver Buckle--the Noble family ranch--to Nick's former best friend, he must return home to face his mistakes, and guarantee that the Silver Buckle stays in the Noble family. Award-winning journalist Piper Sullivan believes Nick framed her brother for murder, and she's determined to find justice. But following Nick to the Silver Buckle and posing as a ranch cook proves more challenging than she thinks. So does resisting his charming smile. As Nick seeks to overturn his father's will--and Piper digs for answers--family secrets surface that send Nick's life into a tailspin. But there's someone who's out to take the Silver Buckle from the Noble family, and he'll stop at nothing--even murder--to make it happen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Home, Home on the Range, March 29, 2007

By	Kelly Klepfer (Iowa) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Susan May Warren excels in writing men. I didn't warm up to her main heroine until several chapters into the book, but Nick grabbed me right away.


Warren has a way with words. Bursts of beautiful prose fill "Reclaiming Nick."


Tragedy marks each major character, and as I read, I began to root for them, hoping they'd find what they needed.


A touch of mystery added to the read. Enough detail was provided that the conclusion didn't shock me, so those of you who don't do well with intense suspense should be able to read it with ease.


The underlying spiritual themes of redemption, forgiveness and God's sovereignty were thoughtfully written. Christianese was not overdone, but the spiritual truths were strong.


The relationships covered in the book were handled well, also. "Reclaiming Nick" didn't feel sitcom surreal (perfect resolution in seventeen and a half minutes.)


Warren stuck to her genre guidelines and crafted mostly believable, almost real characters. I will finish the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Susan and Cowboys...a great combination!, March 7, 2007

By	Romatic Reader "metime" (a small town in Kansas USA) - See all my reviews

I just finished "Reclaiming Nick" and what a story. It centered around Nick Noble, his old girlfriend, Maggie and his best friend Cole. Nick returns to the family ranch "The Silver Buckle" after his fathers death to face his past and to make sure the Buckle land stays in the family. Meanwhile, Piper Sullivan, a journalist, believes that Nick framed her brother and sent him to prison. She arrives at the Buckle posing as a cook to try to trap Nick into a confession. Only trouble is...things are not always as they seem.

As Nick continues to try to over turn his father's will...Piper does some digging. Lots of family secrets emerge as you ride to an exciting and satisfying conclusion.

Susan did a wonderful job of showing us a picture of forgiveness and love. Can't wait to meet Rafe! Yeeee Hawww!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One tall tale and a hot cowboy....what more do you need? , November 8, 2007

By	Betsy Ann St. Amant "I write for the same rea... (Louisiana) - See all my reviews

My friend Susie has done it again! I LOVED this story and I really loved Nick. (sssh, don't tell Hubby I was swooning over a fictional character again. This book might actually show drool marks!) Susie found a home for Nick in the rugged western terrain and really made a splash with the women in our writers group....ohhh just wait until you meet Rafe in the upcoming sequel! Whew! I can't wait to read it and in the meantime, YOU need to be reading THIS story! What are you waiting for? A tall tale, a hot cowboy - come on, really. Incorporate all that with an amazing, moving story and an inspiring, satisfying, SURPRISE ending, and...wow! Now that's a novel.
