Wow, this was a fun book! Susannah McCord is a stubborn, obstinate young woman who will do ANYTHING to have her way. This includes making up a ridiculous story just to entrap Cass Claxton into marrying her and taking her to St. Louis.
Cass literally dumps her on the lawn at her aunt's home and that is the last they see of each other for 6 more years. Then when Susanne realizes that Cass has in his possession something that she desperately needs. She is once again on the war path. Only this time,...more

I know I have been through a bit in the last month that may have influenced my opinion about this book, but I had a hard time finding much to like. I thought the characters were shallow and not very likable. I thought the basic story was interesting, but didn't really like where it took me as a reader. It was clean, I suppose, since nothing happened between people not married and nothing was described, but what did happen and their reactions to it were so unbelievable in my mind that I had a har...more
Lori Copeland's writing is always great and The Maverick continues her tradition. I especially liked this one as Susanne reminded me so much of myself - speak and act first then think, pray and ask forgiveness afterwards when you realize what you have said/done. She kept trying to learn the other way around and it took her a long time. The relationship between Susanne and the orphans as well as Susanne and Cass were purely delightful. I highly recommend all the books in the Men of the Saddle ser...more

At first, I was completely shocked by the start of this book. it was absurd to think how wrong people can be in their thoughts, words, and actions; however, the book got a lot better. Despite doing the young man wrong, Susanne must ask the very one and only man (Cass) for his help on somethign very important. The tale speaks of trials and tribulations, forgiveness and prayer, fear and love. Despite it being predictable for the most part, there are still twists in it that a reader may not foresee...more
I enjoyed this third book of the Men of the Saddle series but not as much as the first book. I thought the hero and heroine fought a bit too much (IMO). But other than that I don't have any major complaints. Lori's books are well written with natural conversations. I will definitely read more by her.
Another fun read from Lori Copeland. Susanne was a spoiled young woman who would do whatever it took to get her way, and that included lying about her relationship with Cass Claxton, resulting in a shotgun wedding.
Years later after gaining her goal of going to live in St. Louis with her aunt and being left there by Cass, Suzanne has matured and has changed. Sadly, the death of her aunt has left her and some orphans she and her aunt fostered without a home.
In her quest to find a new home for her...more

Liked this better than Monday Morning Faith. The writing was fine in both, but the plot and plotting was a lot better in this one. Cute story.
OOh this one. Starts out so fun, and surprisingly, a bit of wit too. Classic 'woman driving man crazy but he secretly likes it' story. Some cheeseiness, but not as much as others.
Another fun read. This one was a little more believable for me than The Peacemaker. I liked that even though the characters matured, they retained their original personalities and weren't magically cured of their besetting sins.
very enjoyable and fun book. Lori Copeland has done it again!
Who could not love Cass? Totally enjoyable book.
Best book in series
Loved this book!!
The Cleaned up version of Sweet Talkin' Stranger. is soooooo good. I loved the smutty version the best... But still 5 stars as I've read them both.
audio book
Rogue Cass Claxton is finally in for it! Tricked into a marriage which he thinks is later annulled, he gets hoodwinked a second time by the same woman - only this time he has to travel long distance with a group of runny-nose orphans!
This was another sweet story by Lori Copeland.

great book. almost finished with series.
It was really good. I war with myself on the 4 or 5 stars. I feel it's more of a 4.5. It was a bit frustrating at times, but i can see where it had to be certain ways to make the story work. Anyway it was really good.
loved it! was surprised at how it kept me on the edge considering it's story line!! couldn't wait to read the next book in the series, tho, after this one!!!
I enjoyed this book a western in a series of 4 books this one was one of my favorites but must read the whole series
This is a great series! Lori Copeland continues to impress me with her writing. It is a quick read!
I didn't really like this book but it's ok.
