review 1: Wow! I loved, loved, LOVED this book! If there could be a perfect man for me, it would probly be Branch Kincaid (but with dark hair, lol). He comes to a small town and right into Katie Star's tavern looking for the person who killed his brother only to get a hard-on from a girl who slapped him with a couple of dead squirells. Branch is the kinda guy who likes to tease people and get on their nerves while Katie has a temper and a quick wit. Branch loves to mess with Katie and rile her up and together they make book funny and cute. Things become more than fun and games when tragedy hits and more lies and secrets are had causing a roller coster of emotion throughout the rest of the book.The Texan's Bride has everything: adventure, love, lust, tragedy, lies, secrets, violence,... more humor and murder. The feelings between Branch and Katie are tangible; the sex is beyound erotic (no heavy details but the author does a great job describing the scene and the feelings that make you quiver) and the secondary characters are one's you love and get attached to. Branch and Katie both have secrets, secrets so treacherous it could destroy whatever relationship they have. Towards the end of the book, my fingers were tight around my kindle and emotion swirled inside me. A great book that I would defintely recommend.
review 2: I normally won't read books like this with the type of sex that is in it. From the Kindle version I didn't see a cover like this so I was actually drawn in by the description. There were several sex scenes that I thought cheapened the rest of the story, however I know that is just the thing some readers want, & so that is what the author wrote to. It does cheapen the story though. I continued to take in the story as all the rest of the writing is what truly drew me in.A true wild west story with a strong willed heroin in the lead, the story continued well and the characters all played well to the story as a whole.Katie, & her family, written as catholics had several places of showing faith, which in contrast of those sex scenes seemed both contradictory & humanistic, but also weak & yet also, true. No one is perfect, and have their sins & downfalls. Thankfully those scenes are never long and the story resumes. It almost feels as if the story could be edited such to read just as well without them. However there would need to be something added to bring in the vulnerability that Katie only shows during those times. Without it she could seem one-dimensionally so strong. less
