~Along Comes A
Legend~
by Tammy Boulds
|
Heroine:
sturdy |
Rancher Charlotte "Charlie" McCuan rescues Garrett Steele and his little sister
Maddie
from a cattle stampede during a storm outside of Broken Tongue, New
Mexico. A shocking turn of events sees these strangers moving into
Charlie's home, the Circle Bar M house
where the miserable tyrant James McCuan reigns, but even more shocking is
that handsome Garrett falls for scruffy, tomboyish Charlie, who accepts his
offer of marriage.
But happily ever after may prove elusive for the pair. Charlie's
overbearing father has become downright dangerous, and Garrett's past
is about to catch up with him.
Can
Charlie, Garrett, and their love
survive?
|
What worked for me: |
Our hero and heroine were sympathetic characters. I particularly liked
feisty Charlie, whom I pictured as looking a bit like Charlie from
"Ground Force".
The storyline was interesting and had a good twist or two in it. And the
secondary romance was very sweet.
Size-wise Charlie was rugged, but with soft edges. She
thought she was fat, but Garrett didn't.
|
What didn't work for me: |
I really felt there was a lot of potential in this
book, but it could have used more polishing and some rigorous editing before
going to press.
|
Overall: |
"Along
Comes a Legend" might appeal best to fans of Western Historicals and caterpillar-to-butterfly stories.
Warning there is coarse language and some
sexy scenes in this book.
If you liked
"Along Comes a Legend" you might also enjoy
"Beckett's Birthright",
"The Bride of Willow Creek",
"No Ordinary Princess",
"Land of Dreams", "Wishes",
"A Country Christmas",
"The Bluebird and the Sparrow", or
"The
Hero's Best Friend".
