Customer Reviews

Wonderful!! SMALL SPOILER!

WOW!! I have just finished this book and the first thing that comes to my mind is WOW!!! It was great! The characters were strong, and the plot was full of twists. There are only two reasons why this book got only four stars from me. The first and probably the biggest is Chance and Fancy's relationship. They had great chemistry, but their constant sniping at each other got a little old. And two, I was really dissapointed when Gil was killed. I would have loved to read a book about him. He was easy to love. Overall I'd say this was one of the better books, by far! I strongly reccomend it!!!

Great Book!!!

Great book. You just kind of hate Chance through most of the book because he's constantly insulting Fancy and making excuses for it. It just makes the ending even better. I started at 2:30p.m. and i ended at 12:00 a.m. couldn't take my eyes of it more than an hour. Wonderful! The only thing i didnt like was the mess ups on the names. it was very confusing. highly recomended.

ODD BUT UNDERSTANDABLE ROMANCE!

Chance Dawson wants the dancer, Fancy Cranson from the first moment he dances with her. Needless to say, her rejection of his magnaminous proposition [grin] and the slap to his face in front of his men didn't endear her to him. Ego and attitude, what a way to put the skids to a romance.Fancy, at 19, loved the way she got her name, has her cousin, Lenny, a handsome young man of 21 to look after. Misunderstanding?? You bet, Chance only sees a good looking young man escorting Fancy home and staying with her. Aha! Jealosy does its little deed.Jeb, an older scaler and camp cook knows and appreciated the better qualities of Fancy and Chance. He takes an occasional stab at straightening out their misconceptions.Big Myrt looks after her dancers and will not tolerate any man mishandling the girls if they refuse the mens' attentions. But there is one bad apple in the bunch, Pilar who wants any man in pants and especially Chance.The situation heats up when Chance is informed that his step-brother and his wife have drowned and left their son, Tod an orphan.Ahh! But did you know that Fancy's sister, Mary is Tod's mother?Chance has a very rude awakening. Fancy is not about to let him take and claim Tod. Tod has visited Fancy and her father a number of times and is well aware of her and Lenny. [Opps! Chance gets his ideas scrambled again.]Chance refuses to give up all claims to Tod and so they must live together. Ah, now Chance will get Fancy in a position to be seduced. You have got to remember that Chance has only associated with "ladies of the night". Kind of colors his attitude.Ah well, you know what happens - he seduces her - she finds she has a long lost grandmother - she leaves with the boys - there is sabotage in the camp - Chance is hard to get along with - still no marriage in mind if he finds her - well it develops into a really intrigueing situation - Pilar ends up with Jeb's butcher knife in her back -- Guess Who????? More suspects in camp.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - [I guess women still turn out to be the weak characters - or are they meant to be seduced? Is that what keeps them breeding?] Execellent story - great characters - great pace.

Hess Books are the Best

Norah Hess books are the best books I have ever read. Fancy's attitude keeps you wondering what she is gonna do next. Once you start reading, you won't put it down.
