Holding Out for a Hero

by Phyllis Campbell

The Wild West has bandits, rattlers, and cactus galore...Texas has Jesse and Summer, the town's newest and most hard-headed heroes. Summer Bennett is determined to capture the Buchanan Gang the Texas Rangers can't seem to find. Gotta get money...fast, for her father's operation. The reward money's the only way. Complications arise when Jesse Slade, her sister's fiance, rescues her from dangerous situations. Instead of using his head for a slingshot target, she dreams of piercing his heart. For thirteen years, little Summer was the burr under the Texas Ranger's saddle. Now Jesse feels a different irritation. She's on his mind even while searching for outlaws. She and her proper sister are as different as sweet lemonade and corn liquor. Yet he feels like kissing Summer, anyway. Funny, because he'd always wanted to tie her to the outhouse before.

This is a silly, tawdry, he-loves-me--he-loves-me-not, Texas cowboy romance. I bought it when I had 2 hours to kill waiting... it cost $1.00 on the clearance table. Note to self: if it costs a dollar... there is a reason! Still it was fun for a no-brainer!

Fun Read. Sassy Heroine and hunky hero.
