 On the Boring Side October 9, 2007
I am a fan of Bobbi Smith, have read and liked just about all of her books, but this one was not that great. I had a very hard time finishing the book. Very boring, no action, no real excitment. I like books that grab my attention from the start and this was not one of them. I bought the book the as soon as it came out, and it took me until now to finish. No real love story, there was just no action at all in any way, too easy going. But this is only my opinion, others may like the book. I would not recommend the book.

This book was about as exciting as a 'limp noodle'. Yes it was a romance novel but it lacked any actual romance. And if it's passion your looking for, don't look here because you won't find any. NADA! (and I don't mean sex) Everything was so 'matter of fact' that I never really cared if anyone got together. They just suddenly did. Very dull and boring!! I won't even mention the two female heroines. (just pitiful)
The last few books by Bobbi Smith have been a real disappointment. Try reading some on her earlier novels.
 entertaining straightforward western romance August 4, 2007
In 1870 Harley King and his gang take refuge in Lawless, Texas where he kills the sheriff. A desperate law abiding rancher sends for famous Jace Madison; renowned for hunting down the outlaws who killed his fiancée and bringing them to justice.
Jace arrives in town planning to bring law and order to Lawless, starting with dispatching the King gang. However, he is distracted when he meets stable owner Sammie Preston, who wears men's clothing, but he sees past her disguise. As they fall in love and gain support from the frightened reluctant townsfolk, a High Noon showdown is coming to Lawless because King will never let go of his throne without a fight to the death.
This is an entertaining straightforward western romance starring two heroes and a vile villain. Each side is supported by stereotypical secondary characters, whose prime roles are to bring out the attributes either of the champions or the desperado. LAWLESS, TEXAS belongs to the showdown between the knights in shining armor, Jace (think of Gary Cooper) and Sam vs. the bad guy Harley with the town being the stake at their HIGH NOON confrontation.

 Great story, great writing August 2, 2007

I found myself reading this from cover to cover one evening until 1 o' clock in the morning. I just couldn't put this one down. The author made me actually care about the main characters and concerned about what happened to them in the story. The writing style was fast-paced, with plenty of suspense, and visually descriptive that I could readily visualize the town, the people, and the action. This would made a very good western on the movie screen. The characters were so real that I believe there is a compelling need for the author to write a sequel with another adventure for them.
