Colorado Bide

This is Leigh Greenwood at his best...Carrie Simpson... a woman with all the odds stacked before her triumpes over alot of diversity in a man's world she has to prove to herself that she can do what it takes to overcome what they think she cant do... With a little help from a good-looking wrangler and her wits and determination she 'll do what she has to do to get it ,,, but is it really what she wants? Always a lady she commands respect from all and gets it..she's a force to be reckoned with!

Now that's romantic!

I don't like reviews that say they hate something without backing it up with examples. I enjoyed this book very much because: 1) Even though both characters admitted to loving one another, it wasn't enough 2) It dealt with the age-old problem of women trying to make it on their own for their accomplishments but not given credit because they're 'just a woman' 3)The compromise and love they shared overcame all the concerns Carrie had 4) and the realization that Lucas would do anything to have Carrie as his wife was an about face for him. It was a romantic tale that left me feeling warm all over when I finished the book because it was based on more than just they found each other attractive and 'couldn't help themselves'. It was a romantic tale with a touch of realism that made the story more believable and likeable. I also enjoyed the interaction of the secondary characters as well. I've read and own just about everything Leigh Greenwood has written and he hasn't disappointed me yet.
