Love

I love this book simple. Unrealistic. I read this author when I was a kid and felt so grown up and naughty. I'm happy to report the feeling is unchanged.I recommend.

DNF

Could not get on board with the writing style (too much telling rather than showing). The characters were also 2-dimensional, preventing me from getting involved in the story.

this was a good one at a $3 price i liked it... its about:

Saving Grace-Sheriff Cord Randolph had one mission: to capture the infamous Martin gang that had been terrorizing Sagebrush, Texas, and avenge the death of his best friend. He believed he'd accomplished it when he arrested Grace Thomas, one of the most dangerous member of the band of outlaws. But the blond beauty denied any wrongdoing, claiming she was a lady from the East, not a criminal of the West. And Cord yearned to believe her, since his heart skipped a beat every time they met.

When Autumn Thomas traveled to Texas, she expected to discover some family history and claim an inheritance, not see her stagecoach held up and herself arrested as an outlaw. She never dreamed she might have a twin-someone with beauty identical to her own, but completely different temperment. Autumn soon discovered that illicit behavior held its own appeal, especially if it consisted of secretly kissing the sexy sheriff in the city jail. Maybe she and Grace truly weren't so different. Autumn found she could even act like a sinner, if it meant saving her sister and remaining in Cord's potent embrace forever.

Mistaken identity, a broken engagement, a bank robbery and a disgruntled former deputy add up to a lot of excitement. You would think. While I love a happy ending, this seems a little too easy. Other suitors give up easily, misunderstandings are quickly cleared up. It leaves the reader expecting more.

Good little book. Characters were nicely drawn and interesting to follow. Author took a very traditional Western setting and constructed a fascinating tale. Worth the time.
