review 1: 3.5 stars I think.I do actually really like this series, and I will continue it. There were some things that bothered me about this one.There is the typical stuff like the blatant racism, sexism and general ugh-ness of the time period but there was other stuff that bothered me too.Most annoying: "Thee" and "thy" I wanted to just scream, I tried to train myself to replace the "thee" with you but I couldn't trick my brain. Its awful. Less annoying but still irritating: Sally Mae's pacifist mentality. Now, I'm not saying she should be blood thirsty, or that there's anything wrong with being a pacifist, I'm all for peace and all, but she crossed idealism into denial of reality. That was irritating.I did like Tucker, I liked her and Tucker together. I liked seeing the other cha... moreracters and that Sally had some issues with who she was and her place in the world/society. She was strong and smart, except when she was being naive and stupid.There was hotness. Mixed with sweetness.Things kind of fell apart a bit for me there at the end. Overall, I enjoyed and will continue with the series.
review 2: With this instalment in the series McCarty brings together some very different cultures and outlooks on life to create a brilliant, racy, and intriguing tale. In this one Hell’s Eight wasn’t all guns blazing all the time. The audience got to see some compromise and reconciling of differences but it was still a very captivating and racy read. Personally, I loved seeing a bit of a Dom/sub relationship in a historical romance. It took me by surprise as I didn’t see it coming but it fit with the characters perfectly. There’s lots of character development in the first few chapters of this novel. It slows the story itself down a bit, but allows for a brilliant, exciting story once we get to know the main cast. The shocking contrast between Quakers and the extreme version of the Texas rangers really adds to the intensity of the story. Seeing Tucker and Sally Mae overcome their differences and decide they are stronger together was heart-warming amidst the chaos they found themselves in. As a whole this was a story that I couldn’t put down. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it and can’t wait to see and read more. less
