Whirlwind Texas #3
Whirlwind Groom
Josie Webster was not a born killer...but her thirst for justice could make her one. The outlaw who'd murdered her parents and fiance had gotten off scot-free. And now the only thing standing between her and vengeance fulfilled was Sheriff Davis Lee Holt, who held her quarry prisoner...and completely captured her heart!
A woman with secrets needed watching, and lawman Davis Lee Holt intended to watch Josie Webster like a hawk. Why would a seamstress need shooting lessons? Or be curious about the jail? But after nursing her for a near-deadly snakebite, he faced a much more compelling problem: he loved a woman he couldn't trust!

A native Sooner, romance author Debra S. Cowan was born in Idabel, Oklahoma, and later moved to the Tulsa area. Like many writers, Debra made up stories in her head as a child. Her B.A. in English was obtained with the intention of following family tradition and becoming a school teacher, but after she wrote her first novel, there was no looking back.
An avid history buff, Debra enjoys traveling. She has visited places as diverse as Europe and Honduras, where she and her husband served as part of a medical mission team. Debra still lives in Oklahoma with her husband.
She is a member of Romance Writers of America and is the Past President of Oklahoma Romance Writers of America. Her writing has been called "fast-paced", "vivid", "emotionally satisfying", and distinguished by "strong, compelling characters". Romantic Times Magazine says, "Her stories have the charm, tenderness and sensuality that captivate and enchant." Affaire de Coeur predicts, "Cowan shows the beautiful promise of a rising star." And The Literary Times urges, "Treat yourself to a novel by Debra Cowan. You'll be glad you did."

I loved the first two books in this series, but alas, this one fell flat for me. Flat as a pancake.
I found both the hero and heroine to be tedious in the extreme.
The hero blows hot and cold so many times it was massively pissing me off. He'll walk away from the heroine telling her he can't ever see her, then the next morning he's staring at her tits, fantasizing about her under-drawers, backing her into a wall and using his most sexy voice while thinking how he wants to either rip or peel off her clothes. Then his eyes will go cold and he'll slam off telling her it cannot be. This woman, meanwhile, gobbles it up like the thirstiest pick-me girl who ever lived. He needs to grow up, and she needs some dignity.
The heroine, when she isn't having thought number 1564747 about how much she wants the hero to kiss her, is having this singular thought on repeat: "I have vowed to kill a bad man, but I yearn for the sheriff, can I get my vengeance and love a man of justice?" over and over and over and over. The repetition of this inner dilemma is off the charts annoying.
I skipped the sex scene, no chemistry, just him staring at her boobs and getting hard feelings in his trews.

exactly what you'd expect. Cheesy western romance. Extremely enjoyable, especially if you like to laugh at some of the romantic descriptions

I've read it a couple times and its a story I loved. Its an old west western but the slow burn between the leads is wonderful.
