Product Description: She thought she knew about love....
After six years at a Philadelphia finishing school, former tomboy Emma Malloy was coming home to Whisper Valley, Montana, a sophisticated lady. Little did she know that the decades-old feud between the Malloys and the Garrettsons had escalated into a full-scale range war. Nor did she expect that her archenemy, Tucker Garrettson, whose stolen kiss she still couldn't forget, had become a rugged, handsomer-than-sin cowboy who wanted to hang her father and take her prisoner--in his arms.
He vowed to teach her about desire....
She was proud, beautiful, and bossy. And even though Emma was a Malloy, Tucker wanted her badly. Here they were caught in a blood feud and all he wanted to do was take her once and get her out of his mind. No man could outgun him, but could this infuriating beauty make him surrender his freedom and believe in love?
wonderful caught in the middle of a ranch war, emma and tucker were the best of enemies. this book sizzles as the two of them fight and fall in love. WONDERFUL!!! IT'S A PAGE TURNER TO THE VERY END!
4 1/2 stars...I really enjoyed it... This is my 6th Jill Gregory book & I really love her style of writing. It's easy, uncomplicated & not excessive. She's one of my favorite authors & this book is probably one of my favorites out of the books I've read from her. The storyline was very interesting & the mystery kept me guessing. Emma & Tucker were very likable & they had me rooting for them. The feud between their fathers really pulled me into the book & I loved watching the whole thing come together for a very nice ending. The only thing that would've made this a tiny bit better for me was a few good laughs. I highly recommend this awesome book & seller.
A Very Unique Read Wow, this was only my second romance novel. My first was Moonlight Obsession by the same author. This one was very true to the old western time period, and was told so good I had a flawless movie running through my mind as my eyes clung to every word! There is someone everybody can relate to in this book, and its not the classic sappy kind with the drawn half-naked people groping eachother on the cover! Jill mixed in murder with pleasure, scandals and old fashioned family pride. Very much like the wild west version of Romeo and Juliet, except with a smarter, fistier Juliet in the lead! I'd recommend this book to anyone, I really enjoyed reading it, and that is saying a lot because I usually can't sit long enough to finish a book. I know you'll love it!!
A Must Have This was the first Jill Gregory book that I read, it was wonderful, exceptional and very romantic. After reading this book I decided to get other books by her. I highly recommended it!!!!
Not bad... This book started out VERY formula (i.e. hero and heroine really hate each other). In fact, if I read one more "Damn you, Garretson!" "Damn you Malloy!" I was going to slap the both of them upside the head! But then the story got better...much better. The characters started becoming more 3 dimensional and had some good sides, not just bad. And Emma and Tucker's physical attraction to each other! Wowee! Like magnets - the two of them. The whodunit mystery was very well done, too. I thought I had the villain figured out from the beginning but I was wrong! So all in all - worth reading. Good, likable characters (once you got through that opening section) and a pretty fast enjoyable read. P.S. A small aside: the inside cover art of Emma and Tucker was dead-on accurate. Loved it!
