Men of Defiance

review 1: Classic western romance; gunfights, hidden gold, hired gunslinger, independent western woman. Leah lives alone, well as alone as one can be with a large wolf as a constant companion. Self sufficient until Jace shows up in Defiance, he seems to be a catalyst and causes events that end her independence and threaten her life. Jace looks at Leah and despite his grim outlook on life he sees a chance to be happy. He is there for her when she needs help most.A nice quick read, if you are in the mood for a historical western romance this would be a good pick.
review 2: This novel, a series titled Men of Defiance, is one that will suck you in and not let go of you until the end! Although I’ve not read the other two novels, I’m totally in love with Levine! I fell i... moren love with Leah and Jace right from the start! Leah Morgan has led a difficult life in Defiance! She has witnessed on numerous occasions episodes of terrible acts upon her mother, leaving her scared and as skittish as a jackrabbit! The sheriff of Defiance and his group of followers are downright evil and think they own the town. Yet, bad boy bounty hunter Jace Gage arrives and is on a mission -- to clean up Defiance.As the reader, you can see the storm brewing between Leah and Jace from page one when Jace rides into town. Jace automatically feels overprotective instincts for Leah, who could care less. Leah has been doing fine on her own and feels she doesn’t need a man, a gun fighter, to help her in any sort of manner. Yet, slowly, the two fall in love with each other, but don’t want to admit it to the other or themselves. The climax of the story transpires when Jace finally cleans up Defiance, arresting the sheriff and his gang. Leah discovers secrets that have been hidden from her by the entire town. She feels threatens and takes off for the mountains for weeks on end. Jace is heartbroken, wondering if the woman he knows he is to spend the rest of his life with will ever return. As the reader, I was able to sympathize with Jace, wanting Leah to return, so that they could have that happily ever after they both deserved.Levine does an awesome job pulling the reader into the story. You feel the sympathy she wants you to experience towards Leah and Jace, the town and its people. You can visualize the town 140+ years ago, living sparsely just like Leah and the rest of the town. The creative juice that Levine has is amazing. I’m typically not a historic romance reader, but Levine has done an awesome job here. less
