Connie Mason does it all......again and again.

Cody Carter, an ex-scout for the frontier cavalry during the civil war is summoned home to the Rocking C ranch for the reading of his father's will. Being a bastard son of a cheyanne woman, Cody has been estranged from his father for yrs. His father clearly preferred his legimate heir Wayne over Cody anyway. Enroute home Cody visits a brothel where he sees a glimpse of a beautiful blonde woman and finds out her name is Cassie. Ironically, Cassie also received a letter to attend the will reading at the Rocking C Ranch. She was a young child when her mother married Cody's father. This background is the basis for 400+ pages of excellent reading. Cody, known as a tough, hard riding, gun shooting halfbreed somehow manages to rescue 2 small children on his way home. There story is another plot line that mason weaves into the book. They are adorable, precocious and tenacious and take a liking to Cody, embarrassing him by calling him papa and leading people to believe he has abandoned "his children". Cody also resuces a dog, and then rescues a one armed ex reb soldier. He is perplexed as to why he keeps "picking up strays" when he's such an tough character. Naturally Cassie is on the same train. He immediately recognizes her as the "whore" and she immediately disliked him for the way he tries to get rid of his "children". Well they all land on the rocking C and of course Cassie and Cody get joint ownership of the ranch. Step brother Wayne is outraged and sets about trying to kill Cody and get Cassie. At the same time someone's trying to harm the children, who turn out to be wealthy orphans, and kidnaps them. There are some wonderfully erotic love scenes before the whole mess unravels. The characters are excellent. Cody is too good to be bad; Cassie is loving but spunky, the kids are adorable and the side characters stand independently.This has a little bit of everything and I certainly enjoyed it. It isn't her best work but it is delightful.

WOW

This was the first Connie Mason book I ever read and since then I have been hunting for her books, the book was spectacular, full of humor,GREAT and I mean Great sex scenes, the two orphans were though a bit annoying at times, really cute. I loved this book and read it over 50 times, and still counting. Cody and his heroines love made me want to fall in love again.

FUNNY, HEARTWARMING, TOTALLY ENJOYABLE

Cody being a free spirit learns his lessons of caring and being cared about. Being adopted by two orphans he finds that life for him changes alot. He finds love and people to love him. There are so many funny parts to this story along with crying I laughed. It is very heartwarming and enjoyable.

What a great book!

Wow! This is definitly one of the better romance novels I've read. Cody is such a great guy, and the love he and Cassy share is enough to warm your heart. But not only is it a beautiful love story, its really humerous too!
