THE STORY: Ty MacKenzie survived the Civil War with a dream to find a soft sweet woman to create a new family after the death and destruction of the war. As part of that dream, Ty comes to Utah to capture a dream horse to serve as the basis of his new ranch. While stalking this horse, Ty is captured by a band of renegades and is almost killed. He escapes seriously injured and is cared for by Janna Wayland. Janna has been living on her own on the land in Utah since her father died several years before. She risks her life to save this stranger and nurse him back to health. Janna falls for Ty, but she knows that she is not the dream woman that Ty wants.

OPINION: I am a longtime fan of Elizabeth Lowell's older books. Although sometimes dated by the depictions of the relationship between Ty and Janna, I really enjoyed the intensely emotional book. This book is sexy in more of an intellectual manner than a physical depiction of sex model. Rather than focusing on body parts, this book is about how these two people desire one another at the level of thought and emotion. That doesn't mean there is no sex in this book -- there is. It is just that the book is lyrical and descriptive of the emotions of these characters. There is an interesting story here, but some readers might not be attracted to this very internal story structure. The characters reflect the 1980s when this book was written. Ty is the strong alpha type who is often a jerk to the heroine. Janna is young and a virgin despite her years living on her own in the Utah wilderness. I especially like how these typical characters show some depth that sets them apart from stereotypes. Ty is a jerk, but when Janna confronts him about his behavior, he immediately is remorseful. Janna is strong and independent despite her innocence. She is stubborn and doesn't shrink before Ty.

WORTH MENTIONING: I always feel disappointment in this story because some incredibly stories of Ty's siblings are teased in this book and yet there was never a historical sequel to this book. Some information comes out in the contemporary books in the series, but I have always wished that Lowell had written the connecting historical books.

FINAL DECISION: I really love this historical romance. Yes, Ty is somewhat of a jerk at times and definitely fits into the alpha hero mold of the 1980s when this book was written, but he also has a deeply emotional side. Janna is incredibly independent and a strong woman who has lived on her own for years. Their romance is deeply emotional.

CONNECTED BOOKS: RECKLESS LOVE is the historical prequel to the MacKenzie-Blackthorn contemporary series.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4.25 stars.

It was pretty good. The passion is definately there. It only gets a little tiresome when the men keep repeating why they cannot fall in love with the heroine. Ty Mackenzie is a little rough a and I would have wanted janna to make him beg for forgiveness everytime he hurt her feelings... but she keeps forgiving him and crying like a dummy. I wish at least one of these heroines said "the hell with you!!" and leave these men in the dust to scramble after them. The fact that the confession of love from Ty comes in the last 2 paragraphs of the book is pretty disapointing. (Sorry if I ruined it for somebody).

Elizabeth Lowell's men seem to become walking erections when they meet the womem.. but I guess thats what it takes for a man to fall in love. I like her books anyway though, because her ability to create an image in your head is incredible as well as her knowledge of customs and speech of the wild west. Her supporting characters are often sweet and hilarious as well.

I would recomend to buy this book.

Geny

Seldom do I see an author who knows horses and the west so well. The conflict is impeccable a nd finely drawn. The romance so clearly illustrates the difference in the man/woman psyche and incendiary to the senses.

Even though this isn't technically part of the Rocking M Ranch series. It is somewhat of its beginning. Originally I read this after reading the others of the Rocking M series and that's fine. But, after reading this, I did go back and re-read those because it really helped tie them together for me. But either way, you'll really enjoy this. (GET THE OTHERS OF THE ROCKING M RANCH SERIES ALSO; YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!)
