When Angela arrives in Wyoming, planning on spending the summer on her college roommate's family ranch, she has no idea of the adventure in store for her. The gorgeous mountains and flowering fields are one thing, her friend Janet's cousin Jay is another, and the dangerous and mysterious happenings, right off the bat, are another.
Jayhawk is part romance, part mystery, leaning heavily on the romantic part. It's never steamy (surprisingly clean, actually) and while the dialogue was oft More...

I read this book first when I was in high school and completely loved it. It is what got me fascinated with Native American culture, and it also really opened my eyes to racism. When I picked it up again a couple weeks ago, I was expecting it to be super cheesy, but it wasn't. I actually really liked it, and the suspense part of the book was well done, I think.
Just a warning, though, JayHawk was written back in the 70's I think, so when Jay shows up "dressed up" in a mau More...

This is a relatively short book, a quick read. It's a decent story, compelling enough that I stuck with it through the end, but not terrible brilliant. I think I might be overly-critical, but some things bothered me. Not the worst story- a romantic mystery set in Wyoming on a cattle ranch. I don't read a lot of romance, and maybe it's because it's kind of trite and silly... but this was at least clean and an enjoyable story. My friend Becky LOVES this book and has read it multiple times. I

Angela is a city girl from the East invited by her roommate, Janet, to spend the summer at the Triple J Ranch in Wyoming. Angela is excited about seeing the country because of Janet's excitement about her home. However, she is immediately caught up in the love/hate/mysterious relationship between Jay Bradford and his grandfather Judd, and the disappearance of Jay's father. There's a chemistry between Angela and Jay that will develop into an amazing love story.

This is another one that is a great story if you are looking for a quick read. It is an adventure story attatched with a mystery and a love relationship. Friendships are challenged and families have to figure out how to repair themselves from the secrets that have been haunting them for years. It has a good ending if you like the happily ever after ending.(Which is what I like) Like I said, if you are looking for a great quick read then this is your book.

(Genre:Romance) This was an okay story about a young woman from Michigan who goes to spend the summer at her college roommate's home--a ranch in rural Wyoming. She is fascinated by and drawn to her friend's cousin, a half Indian name Jay. He has returned to the ranch to uncover the truth of what happened to his father who disappeared a couple of decades before. It was a fun read, but with a definite 70's feel to it (at least for me). The Thayne character/part of the story drove me a little crazy

I got this at a book exchange for a book club I'm in. It was written in the 70's, and once I got past the completely outdated book jacket (a beautiful leather binding was underneath), I found a truly wonderful story!! It's a love story and mystery. Just a warning, the dialogue is also 70's and somewhat cheesy at times. But really, it's a good book and I'm looking for more from this author to read. Thanks Tammy!!

I read this in one sitting (was up till 2:30am). I really liked it and got caught up in the romance. I read it a few years ago...like maybe 10+. So while I remembered that Angela went to stay the summer with her friend on the friend's ranch I didn't remember hardly any of the other details. I love it when I can't put a book down and must finish it.

Finally . . . a great escape book. It has been a while since I've sat down to read for pure pleasure (of course I've enjoyed the other books I've read recently too, but they weren't all about escape). I njoyed the plot and the chemistry between the main characters, though it did move fast like the other book I read by this same author. Still, lots of fun!

This is my sister's favorite of Keddingtons, but not really mine. I didn't like Jayhawk as a character. Too brash. Not really into his heritage either, although the heroine obviously is. And the whole family secret thing didn't really do it for me. It does have some great make-out scenes, though. And those are fun to read anytime.

Some sweet parts, but the heroine is really of her time, or maybe even a decade or two earlier. Example: she doesn't know what to think, so she just decides to wait and trust that (some guy she just met 20 minutes ago) will tell her whatever she needs to know.
She also has several serious brushes with tstl syndrome.

Soooo cheesy. The plot is cheesily dramatic, the dialogue is uber-cheesy, and the romantic scenes are more laughable than anything else. But, then you see that the book was published in 1978 and all is forgiven. It's entertaining, but I would recommend reading one of the more current LDS romance mysteries that aren't quite so cheesy.

Easy read! The story line was simple to follow (simple enough that when my kids interrupted every other paragraph I didn't have to go back a few paragraphs to make sure I was remembering everything). I liked the mystery involved and their were quite a few endearing characters.

I loved this book as a teenager. Its combination of romance and mystery were just what I liked. As an adult, I still enjoyed it, but this time the romance was a little cliche and the foreshadowing seemed too obvious. Still, I had a fun jot down memory lane.

My mom and I read this on our way to Detroit. It was a suspenseful tale and great for the long miles on the road. The author does some great discriptions and her characters are very believable as is her narrative of ranch life in Wyoming.

This book also is so romantic, with the way they meet for the first time. the twist makes them fall in love even more. it is so cute how she loves him for who he is, and how his cousin trys to make her fall in love with them.

My 14 year old daughter borrowed this book from her friend last month. I spied her reading in the car and asked her what she was reading. All she had to do was flip down the book to reveal the cover. A flood of memories overwhelmed me as I saw the book and I screamed, "Jay Hawk! I can't believe you have that book!". I read it when I was 14 and I loved it. It was my favorite book. It was my girlfriend's favorite as well. I snatched the book after my daughter was done with it and

While there are a lot of love stories out there this is hands down the best one that I have ever read. I love it. Dorothy Keddington sets the bar high for all other authors.

I love this book. It's definately a teen novel, but I still enjoy it. I read this one the first time in my early teens, but it continues to be one of my favorites.

This was a fun easy read and it is set in the west, Wyoming to be exact. A romance mixed with a little mystery. Very Fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Mom suggested this book to me in either 9th or 10th grade, and I thought it was the most magical love story. I have never forgotten it since. ;)

She writes murder/mystery/romances. They are fun and easy reads. She is an LDS author but she leaves out all of the cheese. Just clean romance.

I have read this book so many times I have lost count!(I've had it since I was a teenager.) I love the mystery thrown in with a good clean romance.
