Tall in the Saddle   by Mary Lynn Baxter (1991)

Man: Flint Carson
Description: Lean. Hard. Tough. As proud and magnificent as the wild cattle he raises on his Texas ranch.
Lesson in love: Never trust a woman, especially the high-society type.
Fatal undoing: Ravishing Stephanie Marsh. Classy. Desirable Dangerous. And definitely off-limits ... until their plane crashes...

From the moment he spied her at the airport, Flint knew just the kind of woman Stephanie Marsh was. Then their flight went down—and suddenly, he was the only one who could help her. Unable to remember who she was, Stephanie accompanied him to the Diamond A Ranch, where the passion soon flared hotly between them. But what would happen once her memory returned? Could she walk away from him?

Forgotten Dream   by Paula Detmer Riggs (1990)

Mateo Cruz's return to the Santa Ysabel Pueblo was a bitter homecoming. A vicious terrorist attack had robbed him of his memory—and almost cost him his life. And among the memories he'd lost was that of the young love he'd left behind, in a past that was forever out of reach.

Susanna Spencer wanted no part of the past. Even if Mat Cruz had forgotten the pain he'd brought her all those years ago, she hadn't. And there was no room in her life for a man who'd proved that his promises were worthless.

But the past was a tangle of memory and desire, and it wasn't so easily laid to rest ...

Hawk's Flight   by Annette Broadrick (1985)

When Dr. Paige Winston came to, following a plane crash in the Arizona wilderness, the only thing she knew for sure was that she wasn't alone. The rest of her life was a blank.

The man who had nursed her during her concussion claimed to be both her pilot and her new husband. Paige couldn't remember getting married, but lying in Hawk Cameron's gentle, passionate embrace felt so right. The long trek back to civilization was the best honeymoon any woman could have.

Then Paige found out the truth. She had lost her memory—and fallen desperately in love with a man she didn't even know.

About the author

Mary Lynn Baxter was born on 28 July 1943 in Lufkin, Texas, USA, where she bred, home of the cowboy - hero of the Western romance, which is one of the most popular of the category's sub-genres. She would be the first to say that it's her background that gives her a unique feel for romance writing.

Since she was a young girl, books and reading have been an important part of her life. Only after she read all the "goodies" in her public library did her mother encourage her to buy Harlequin romances, then 35 cents each. Wow! Those reading years laid the background for her decision to major in Library Science at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, and become a school librarian.

After eight years of working in various school systems, she felt a need to do something different. What she wanted was to open a bookstore. With the help of her husband, Leonard, and her mother, Mary Lynn did just that. For over 20 years she sold books, and loved every minute of it. Then Mary Lynn decided she needed a new challenge. Following an intense amount of pushing and prodding from her husband she took the plunge and tried her hand at writing.

After months of agonising and chewing her nails, she finally mailed All our Tomorrows to Silhouette books in February 1981. One year later it was published as a Silhouette Special Edition. Now, over 40 books later, she's still writing. Mary Lynn can't think of anything else she'd rather do with her time and energy. She surfaces from her writing, she's a voracious reader. But this petite dynamo is always happy to tumble out of her world of fiction into her local fitness center for a bracing workout. She's also dedicated to her volunteer work... and still manages to fit in plenty of quality time with her family at their home in Lufkin, Texas.

I read this a long time ago.

[Elise · Rating 1 out of 5]

What good plot lines and what a horrible amount of trash in it. I was soo disapointed. They could have had a great story without it being R rated. Bummer. So don't read.
