Flint
ROUGH AROUND THE EDGESA hard-eyed man, Flint Mahone came back from the Wat Between the States with only one tender feeling left—for the missing children of his dead brother. So when the three little ones showed up on his doorstep with a fierce Wyoming winter in the offing, he knew he would do whatever it took to make them a home.
SOFT AT HEARTLauren Hart had been raised among outlaws, taught to gamble to make her way in the world, but she wanted nothing more than to lead a decent life, to meet other girls her age, to own a pretty dress. One glance told her Flint Mahone was trouble, a ladies’ man who knew all the right moves and none of the right emotions. Love was as foreign to him as marriage, but Lauren couldn’t resist his plea for help. And when she saw the gentle way he held his little niece, she knew there was hope yet of reaching the warm, caring man beneath the wild, carousing cowboy.

Historical romance is a very mixed bag. Sometimes you'll get a strong emphasis on the historical background with a decent amount of romance and family drama. Other times it's simply cheesy romance and smut set in a historical time period.
Then there are books like Flint, that are labeled "historical romance", but aren't historical or romantic.
I picked up this book not only because the font is huge(no, I'm not 87 years old, just a slow reader. Big font means faster reading) but also because I've heard nothing but good things about this author.
I would give you a brief synopsis on this book, but I'm having a hard time trying to remember what happened because of this author's jumpy and choppy writing style. The action scenes didn't make any sense, I was trying to figure out what was going on half the time. People were falling off horses and getting shot (?)
I enjoyed some of the romance between Flint and Lauren, but it never really got started. I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. The heroine finally decides in the second to last page that she doesn't hate Flint anymore, I felt cheated. I got this book for free and I still feel like I want my money back.
It had it moments and I had some fun reading, so I'll give it an extra star for entertainment value.
I wont seek out Norah Hess books, but if I stumble upon another one, I'd be willing to give this author another chance.

Irritating woman
Why tell us how good she is with a gun when she never uses one. Woman is irritating. Can't she at least try to fight back, even if it's just with words. Classic woman as lump of wood waiting for rescue.

This book was alright. It's not one of my favorites. I found it very predictable. It was also quite lacking in excitement and detail.
