The Gingerbread Cowboy 6 reviews
Janet Squires
Laura Geringer, 2006
Imaginative retake on an old story! Fabulous illustrations!
This is a great book for the youngest readers! Your little ones will delight in the Gingerbread Cowboy's chase across the barren lands of the Old West as he runs to save his life. Many animals are after him but he manages to outwit them all, even the clever old coyote, with the help of the rancher's wife.
Kids will laugh when they hear the Gingerbread Cowboy chant, " ... You can't catch me, ...

Shotgun Bride (McKettrick Cowboys Trilogy #2) 16 reviews
Linda Lael Miller
Pocket Star, 2003
Another wonderful Book
I really enjoyed this book as much as the first. The one thing I really did like about this series is that you still read about the whole family. Alot of the series books don't include anyone from the first and I liked that these ones do.

desperate need of a heart. Lacy is standing firm on this rule until

Cowboy Values: Recapturing What America Once Stood For3 reviews
James P. Owen
The Lyons Press, 2008
Simple and direct, not simplistic
We live in a complicated world full of different agendas, competing for our hearts and minds. Like his first book "Cowboy Ethics", James Owen presents a guide to navigating the terrain of modern life, simply, elegantly, and with heart. I wish I had written this book. I wrote down the ethics and values from both books in a small notebook, and carry it with me daily for inspiration.

Heart Of Texas Vol. 3: Nell's Cowboy\Lone Star Baby (Heart of Texas (Harlequin))10 reviews
Debbie Macomber
Mira, 2008
ENGROSSING!
I love Macomber's stories about real people with individual attitudes and personalities--people we would like as friends. She never disappoints with her themes of friendship, hope, personal growth, and always happy endings. Thankfully, her stories and characters are so engrossing she has no need to "spice up" her books with unwelcome intimate details. I recommend this book along with a ...

He's a controlling man who doesn't like surprises - especially when the unexpected surprise is a certain petite redhead whom his brother hired and brought home.

Trail Hand: A Western Story (Leisure Western)6 reviews
R. W. Stone
Leisure Books, 2008
Great Read
I've been disappointed by a lot of the westerns I've been reading lately. Not enough action, too much revisionist history... but then I read Trail Hand. It's one of the first westerns in a long time that actually kept me engaged in story. They action was great. the history felt authentic. If you are looking for a true western tale, this book is definitely worth a read.

Lonesome Dove: A Novel (Lonesome Dove)390 reviews
Larry McMurtry
Simon & Schuster, 2000
IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS ONE, YOU ARE MISSING A READING TREAT!
This is one of those rather rare books that can be classified as a "cross over book." That is, you really need not be a fan of the Western genre to appreciate and enjoy reading it. I fall into that category. While I have certainly read Westerns from time to time, I do not particularly like them nor do I seek them out. This work is quite different though. I have to admit that I have actually ...

Cowboy Ethics29 reviews
James P. Owen, David R. Stoecklein

Cowboy Ethics
Very accurate in terms of the "cowboy" expectations of society. Truth, honesty, taking responsibility are always on the forefront. Without those characteristics you don't get far with animals or people.

Lora Leigh, Shiloh Walker
Ellora's Cave, 2005
21st Century Woman
Lora Leigh fans will not be disappointed! The Alpha Males in this book showed compassion and tenderness to Cat's situation where she is once again being punished for her evil identical twin's ruthless actions. The sex scenes were erotic and even had the main Alpha character proposing to get the woman who has stolen his heart. I am a fan for Victorian romances ...

The Legend of Colton H. Bryant13 reviews
Alexandra Fuller
Penguin Press HC, The, 2008
A masterpiece that tells two stories
Alexandra Fuller is an extraordinary author who's done it once again. This book tells a story that affects every single energy consumer in America from a painfully human perspective - and does it with grace and amazing talent. Colton H. Bryant walks off the page from the first chapter of this book into the life of the reader; by the end, it's nearly impossible to not want to do something about ...

Iron Cowboy (Silhouette Desire) 24 reviews
Diana Palmer
Silhouette, 2008
Don't give up on Ms. Palmer
I read iron cowboy very fast when I received it. Out of habit I immediately reread this book. Upon rereading it I read things I missed the first time. Jared to feel remorse but coped badly with his quilt and of course blamed Sarah. No doubt this was not the best book I have every read, but I did enjoy it. Ms. Palmer is a good writer, but I think it would be hard to develop a good story when ...
