Book Overview
19th century Texas was alive with lovers and scoundrels, drifters and dreamers. It was a land brimming with wild, glorious passions--passions New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas tenderly evokes in this novel in the McLain series. Fleeing trouble in Pittsburgh, young Kara O'Riley has no choice but to travel as far West as her meager funds will take her. And when she hires on as bookkeeper for a sprawling Texas ranch, she quickly decides that her new employer, Jonathan Catlin, is the coldest, strangest man she's ever known. He's told her he has exactly one year to make the ranch a success--but she has a feeling there's an awful lot more he's not telling her. For one thing, there's something odd about Catlin Ranch. For another, she has glimpsed a hint of tenderness in Jonathan's gorgeous, haunted eyes--and suddenly her lonely, aching heart is filled with fire...

One hot romance!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This one is fun and exciting and keep you turning pages. If you love them sexy and fast moving like a Lindsey, Garlock, or Cynthia Simmons "Anything, My Love" you'll love this one.
Engaging and sweet, Jodi Thomas caught my attention.

I thought this was good reading with an interesting storyline and a great couple. Kara was not a simple minded prairie chickwho stammers around men. This 'wee little bookkeeper had me on her side from the get go. Has for Jonathan well if you like them dark mysterious with a subtle sense of humor then you'll enjoy this book. The supporting cast was a colorful bunch Iwouldn't call this a sexy book but a good storytelling book with a good plot, humor and of course good old fashion attraction. It certainly got me interested in picking up a few more Jodi Thomas books while cruising the zshops. *chuckle* I was just remembering to toss the biscuits.. yes definately a good read.
western romance at it's best

I never wanted to put this book down.After reading the books on the McLain brothers and Wolf I was so excited to see it all continue with Jonathan Catlin all grown up and in his own story.Jonathan and Kara are alone and in need of love and it's with each other that they find it.Jodi Thomas has done it again with this book . She has created another cast of characters who will pull you into their lives and make you feel as if you are a part of their world.
