I've read the first 3 chapters of this book was very interesting about the story in this book. Comparing with 2 other books I'm reading: I,Robot, and The MoonStone, this book was written in simple words and easy to read.

It is too short to talk about the review of this book...

When I was reading this book today, I was surprised because the setting of this book is so familiar with what I knew about Texas. I thought it was about the old day of Texas; however, the set More...

Loved this one! This continues the Blackthorne/Creed story. Bayliegh Creed needs Owen Blackthorne's help finding her missing brother, Luke. It turns out Luke is mixed up in some stolen nerve gas mines in Big Ben. Owen, a Texas Ranger, is already involved in the case because his best friend, Hank, was murdered while involved with the case. Also, his brother Clay, is the Attorney General, is somehow wrapped up in it. Sooo, Owen is reluctant to take Bayleigh with him, but does it anyway...

Even though I gave the first book in this series 2 stars, I decided to keep going. I'm not sure I can pinpoint why, except that I sometimes have this feeling when I'm reading a book I don't like that the author needs another chance....like I just grabbed the wrong book first, and if I had read them in a different order, I would have reviewed it as "that one book every author writes sooner or later, no matter how good they are..."

I'm glad I did. I've now read books 2 and 3 b More...

It was a perfect story to hear in the car. Not to exciting, not to dull. It didn´t matter that I sometimes heard just 10 minutes other times 60. The story is very easy to follow. I did think Bayleigh Creed was a bit dumb in the beginning though. I´m sure the author wanted her to be stubborn and family oriented but I didn´t see that. Thank God she changed a bit during the story.

Owen Blackthorne was just one of those heroes you could die for. Strong, funny and very handy in desert coun More...

just finished this book this afternoon and i liked this modern romance of two from feuding families, the Blackthorns and the Creeds, who go through the typical story plot...unwanted attraction, they discovery of a secret that forces them apart, only to be thrown together as they make life and death choices--family, duty, and love--in the ruthless Texas wilderness.
i don't have any problem recommending this novel to lovers of cowboy romances.

I enjoyed this one alot. When Owen and Bailey are brought together to find her brother they don't like each other very much. Family ties are strong for both of them and each family hates the other. While trying to find her brother they start to overcome their differences and find some common ground, and love.

I was so sad to not enjoy this book. It was very slow but I am NOT giving up on the series. She is a wonderful writer, but this one wasn't on of my favs.

Really liking this series. Accidentally read the 3rd book before this one so some of it would have been more intriuging if I hadn't read that one first.

OH! Those lusty, hunky Texans, making babies all over the place! Kind of like reading a soap opera, instead of watching one on TV.

It was okay... I mean at times I just ask myself how such a great guy like Owen is doing with Bayleigh. Seriously she needs to open her eyes and stop worrying about what her family is going to say. Get a little back bone Girl!!!

This is one of the Bitter Creek series. They all contain the same feuding families and all contain romance between 2 members of feuding families while battling a common enemy. It's an easy read if you're reading them in order. This one doesn't explain the relationships from the first book very thoroughly but you can read it without reading the first.
