Customer Reviews

great series of books

I love historical novels that are part of a series. What a great treat when you find an author that you enjoy and discover that he/she has a series of books based on characters that float in and out of previous books. The Cowboys series is an example of such a wonderful find. I've only read two books in the series, but as I'm reading them and new characters are introduced, I find myself wondering if the new character will be featured in an up-coming book. The most appealing part of these books for me (aside from the romance part) is that the female characters are strong, independent women. Even if the romance was removed...the story is still engaging. I would recommend the Cowboy Series to anyone who enjoys historical romance fiction---especially those readers who enjoy an Old West/frontier setting.

delightful Texas historical romance

In 1881 Bret Nolan left Texas over six years ago to work in his family's shipping firm Abbott & Abercrombie in Boston. He enjoys the eastern big city, but at times misses the wide open spaces of back home. His odious Uncle Silas Abbott who treats Bret with contempt for being a Texan assigns him with a key task. Apparently, dying Samuel Abercrombie, who lives in Texas, inherited twenty-five per cent of the company's stock last year; he wants his daughter to move to Boston. Silas and his partner Samuel's brother Ezra order Bret to escort his niece Emily to Boston so she does not marry some wild cowboy. Bret agrees as it gives him a reason to return to Texas even for a short respite before returning to Massachusetts. In Texas, Bret realizes how much Emily enjoys her ranch, but still they agree for her to see her father. However, Bret, who admires the courageous young woman, worries about her safety when he learns someone is rustling her cattle. He asks his two brothers to help stop the thieves while he hopes to prove to Emily how much he loves her. A TEXAN'S HONOR is a delightful Texas historical romance starring two likable protagonists who to the readers' pleasure and to the chagrin of Uncles Silas and Ezra (clever first names for this avarice pair) fall in love. The story line is fast-paced and filled with Cowboy- style action. However it is the cast that brings late nineteenth century Western cattle country Texas vividly to life, a trademark of a Leigh Greenwood westerner. Harriet Klausner
