Customer Reviews

Wonderful lesson on forgiveness!!

Like each of the books it started out a little slow but this was a great ending story in the series of "Men in the Saddle" about true forgiveness. The story shows the heartaches that revenge and anger bring about when we harbor them in our heart and don't allow God to work in our lives. I would recommend them to anyone enjoys reading Christian and or western romances. I found that the inspiration, determination and true Godly blessings touched my heart and confirmed some spiritual lessons I too have faced in life.

The plainsman

What a great series from Lori Copeland...she is so funny and it is a great read...I highly recommend for others to read this.

Another award winning book from Lori Copeland.

"The Plainsman" is another great read of Lori Copeland. Lori always writes an entertaining story. This is the last book in the "Men of the Saddle" series, and if you haven't read them, I would suggest that you get them and read them. If you like stories about the old west (1800's), and the men and women that lived then, you will like this book too. I know I thoroughly enjoy all of Lori Copeland's book, and I'm looking forward to her next book.

Bitterness and joy of forgiveness within a heartwarming story

The Plainsman by Lori Copeland is the fourth of the Men of the Saddle series, and is set in the year 1865. The war has ended and Trey McAllister is on his way back home to beautiful Kansas by way of soggy Louisiana. When he arrives at Sassy Gap, population 8 1/2, he sees women struggling to put out a building fire. Trey stops to help and finds himself drawn into their fight against a wealthy landowner named Jean-Marc Portier. Portier wants his widowed daughter, Mirelle, to return to his home and will stop at nothing to accomplish that goal. Trey tries to leave--after all it's not his problem--but God has other plans. Trey's conscience brings him back, and in between dodging all the women flirting with him, he manages to help them do repairs and take a stand against Portier. But beautiful Mirelle's attitude towards her father bothers Trey; her hatred is making her a bitter person. He never knew his parents and can't imagine not wanting that relationship, consequently Trey urges her to forgive her father even if she can't peacefully settle their differences. But her hurt goes deeper than he realizes: she wants revenge. The Plainsman is romance fiction at its best. Copeland draws the reader in from the start with her stage-setting and descriptive conversations. In the midst of problems, there is humor as her characters handle their situations. She has a way of presenting her them so that they become as recognizable as friends off the street. Best of all, Copeland portrays the hurt of bitterness and the joy of forgiveness within a heartwarming story. -- Linda Demorest, Christian Book Previews.com
