Hell's Eight

review 1: Isabella Montoya is on the run from a forced marriage. It may be chance or the answer to her prayer, but she meets Sam MacGregor, Texas Ranger and Hell's Eight. And he wants to help her. She doesn't want to get him killed, but it's not long before she realizes she's very attracted to him. Gun fights, saddle sores, saloons, all the best parts of a western romance are included. My main complaint would be that there was some continuity issues that seemed to disrupt the story. Like maybe there was some "cut and paste" that made the scenes feel out of order. I'd go back a few screens to see if I'd missed what was going on. But that really didn't mess with my enjoyment. I liked the characters, and I thought they had great chemistry. I guess I was more interested in the... more characters getting their romantic resolution than in the external conflict.
review 2: Book 2 in the Hell's Eight series, Western Historical-leaning towards the realistic- series (not pretty erotica romance), but definitely not lacking in heat. 3.25 stars. Liked this book, story itself was good, but it DRAGGGED at times. The timing on this one was kinda strange, seemed to move verrry slow, then fast, then sloww again. At times I felt like i was on the ride across the endless desert with them (and I live in desert and know what it's like)! I would have timed it different if i was the writer. (this is where the author may interject "try your hand at it, then!")The H & h are both likeable and sympathetic. I REALLY liked Sam's character, he is one hot handful. I begrudgingly like Bella as well- I think I say that because she is somewhat immature, but out of fairness she is quite young. LOTS of sex talk, not as much action as book 1, but they are traveling a lot. It is quite a sensuous ride, and was a fine read overall. I don't regret reading it. Don't miss it if you are reading the series. less
