The Blaylocks #1
Midnight Rider
MR. JULY
Heartbreaker: Lean, rugged Dan Blaylock. Part Apache, part Spaniard and all dangerous, rough-around-the-edges man.
Hellraiser: Sassy, smart-mouthed Hannah Jordan--a tough, hardworking woman ... except when Blaylock shoots a smoldering glance her way.
History: Hannah rode out of town years ago, cussing up a storm about secrets and that darn Dan Blaylock.
Well, well, thought Dan, that stubborn redhead had finally come home to claim her birthright. The Camelot ranch was Hannah's--if she stayed for a year and accepted Dan as overseer. She was stuck with him whether she liked it or not. And if the slow, sensual way her gray eyes traveled up and down the length of him was any indication, Dan knew she liked it plenty....

I had forgotten that I don't tend to like this author's style in the few books I have read by her and this one was no different. The heroine was a thankless shrew. She lit out of town 15 years back when she learned her uncle was actually her bio dad and never looked back. It was the hero who looked after the family spread and instead of being thankful, she constantly accuses him of dastardly deeds, wanting her land, waiting for her to fail. I hate heroines who in the quest for being independent are nothing but shrews. Apparently our hero always thought the heroine would be his bride and puts up with her thawing and cooling constantly. The hero was a martyr for her and not something I appreciate.

Old fashioned and sort of nostalgically sweet but more annoying and unbelievable than enjoyable.
I just felt Dan had no emotional guts. Why didn’t Dan go after Hannah when she first left or even soon after? It sounds like he was travelling around anyway with the film screen plays and premiers, so why not go after Hannah?
Was he going to remain single the rest of his life? Never have the family he wanted if it wasn’t with Hannah?
Then to taunt her into staying on the ranch for a year, mean and a bit callous.
Hannah was just too prideful for me and her always thinking that Dan was just after the land, when she knows he stopped it from going bankrupt, was ungracious and mean spirited.
And who ties all their money up for five years when they have no idea where they are going in life? 50% seems reasonable but all her money. Unreal.
Going out into an oncoming storm was also too silly to be true. A typical TSTL action.
And how the heck did she turn around a dilapidated ranch all on her own, all whilst redecorating the town businesses too?
She’d been away from ranching as long as she’d lived on one.
Reminiscent of the authors Tallchief series but not as enjoyable or humorous.
Read many, many years ago in paperback. Lovely to reread these old Silhouette stories in eBook form but showing its era.
Read through my library with an updated cover.
