Who?

Lacy Mason & Wyatt Anderson

What?

Just looking for a good time…

Waiting tables in a bar full of no-good cowboys isn't Lacy Mason's idea of fun. But between her daughter's illness, endless doctor bills, and her college tuition, she needs the money.

What she could really use is a night of no-holds-barred passion and no-strings-attached sex. Too bad she has sworn off cowboys for life…

A guy walks into a bar…

Full-time executive and retired cowboy Wyatt Anderson is drawn to Lacy from the moment he sees her. But she's an enigma. Daring and assured one moment and hesitant the next, it's as if something haunts her. Only willing to give him one night, Lacy clings tightly to her secrets.

Unfortunately for her, what Wyatt wants, Wyatt gets. And he definitely wants Lacy…

For a taste of sin, she would risk her reputation... and her heart.

SEEKING REVENGE, SHE DISCOVERS HOW DELICIOUS A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY CAN BE...

Merriam Everett has always been regarded as a shy, docile creature. But for one night, Merriam the Mouse has become a temptress who will recklessly take her pleasure with the arrogant earl who once slighted her, and then leave him aching with lust. A fine plan, if Merriam had not just seduced the wrong rogue!

Drake Sotherton left England amid dark speculation and has returned to seek vengeance against Julian Clay, the man he believes murdered his wife. Convinced that the masked beauty who seduced him is Julian's pawn, Drake tracks her down and proposes that she become his mistress for the Season. Every sensual desire, every secret longing will be explored... and fulfilled.

But keeping his enemy close is a dangerous game. Merriam is an irresistible mix of innocence and abandon, and each encounter proves more soul-searing than the last. With a passion this wild, this wonderful, one Season will never be enough....

Adam, Ethan and Ryan aren't looking for women. They're looking for a woman. One woman to share their lives and their beds. They don't want a casual romp in the hay, they want the woman who will complete them and they're losing hope of finding her. That is until Adam finds Holly lying in the snow just yards from their cabin. He knows she's different the minute he holds her in his arms. But before Adam gets his hopes up, he knows he has to gauge his brothers reactions. Soon its evident that she's the one. There are a few problems, however convincing her she belongs with them and keeping her safe from the man who wants her dead.

THE LAWMAN's BRIDE Rated B+ / Spicy Warm

Kidnapped as a child, sold to a con man, she'd fast learned how to sweet-talk her way out of trouble. Now all Sophie wanted was to be left alone to build a new life--one that was honest and decent, based on truth, not trickery.

Clay Connor was the last man she should care about. Upright and honorable, the town's marshal deserved better than a woman with a tainted past. But if only Sophie could learn to trust again, she might find this lawman would make her new life complete.

Thank you BYRON for doing the typing this week!!!

Cheryl St. John is one of my favorite historical authors. Her hero talk and listen to their heroine meaning less big misunderstanding plots. Most of her books tug on your heart strings, leaving you wanting to glom her backlist. Too bad I've read all of her books and have to wait for new one to be release.

Yesterday on the way to my nephew's 18 th birthday party I finished reading THE LAWMAN'S BRIDE. Our heroine, Sophie, has had so my tragedy in her life by the time she was 12 years old; Her family was attacked by Sioux Indians, killing her father and brothers then taking Sophie and her mother captive. Her mother dies after 2 years then the Sioux sold her to a white man, Tek Garrett for a gun and whiskey.

Once with Garrett, Sophie was trained to be his partner in cons jobs. He dressed her, taught her how to talk, act, seduce men out of the pants for money. After many years living the con life she escapes when one of their cons fails, she runs away from Garrett. Sophie wants freedom and to be able to make decisions about her live on her own.

Our Super Librarian has a wonderful review of THE LAWMAN'S BRIDE.

I rated THE LAWMAN'S BRIDE - B+ Warm
I would highly recommend JOE'S WIFE, THE DOCTOR'S WIFE (who appear in TLB), THE MISTAKEN WIDOW, SWEET ANNIE, HIS SECONDHAND WIFE, PRAIRIE WIFE, THE BOUNTY HUNTER.
