review 1: 8/9/13 - Can always count on McClure to lift my day. Still don't care for the name Lobo. 9/14/12 - Short, but so sweet. Loved every minute of it. I just love her western's. I wasn't too thrilled with her hero's name. Lobo, made me think of a dog's name. But who cares, a handsome man can have whatever name he wants. :o)Another great one by McClure...keep em' comin!Moral Note: Mild western violence, passionate kisses, a few hecks, and a couple of cut off swear words.
review 2: I really couldn't get into this book. It started so badly that it tainted whatever enjoyment I might otherwise have found in the charms of the story, since the latter half wasn't nearly as bad. Cherry Ray is supposed to be 19, but she acts like she's a child, and her father has to warn he... morer not to get into "mischief" when she goes out to play with little kids, yet she does so anyway because for some bizarre reason she still lacks adult judgment. What 19 year old woman is still fascinated by a maggoty prairie dog, brings a mummified wolf home, goes around pretending to be the heroine of a dime-novel, and is incapable of rational adult decision-making? I read another McClure book that began with similar scenes--when the character was 11--that one worked because she grew up before that romantic part. The explanation for her immaturity--that her father forced her to dress and act like a man in order to protect her from the outlaw perverts in the area--just didn't work. What does dressing like a guy have to do with making a 19 year old woman act like a little kid? I couldn't really imagine the age-inappropriate Cherry having a romance with anyone since she acted prepubescent and the love scenes seemed akin to pedophilia. The hero and the story were otherwise pretty good and would have been so much better if his love interest had been a sane adult. less
