Like the author's other books, his protagonists are humanly flawed. A good plot of twin brothers. One almost machine like perfect, the other meets an imperfect end. The surviver becomes successful and unknowingly marries the woman of his dreams, who is the direct cause of his twin's demise. A bitter sweet ending when he finds out the truth.
This was not the best work by this author. The pace was far too slow. Mostly set in Italy where an American millionaire pursues a mysterious woman. The author writes in a clear style but he could have skipped the class on Italian classical culture.
A romantic comedy set in the late nineteenth century. Excellent plot where the hero, who is an ex soldier, goes incognito as the stable groom for the woman he loves.
I would give five stars except for the writer's point of view.
A good movie script. Kind of a mystery where the reader is the only one who knows how all the characters are interconnected. A villain who owns a mean dog is the centerpiece for this story set in Canada.
Excellent plot and unique characters make for a good read. Although set almost a hundred years ago, would make a good background for an adventure movie. Not as good as Jagged edges but Worth the time.
Calvin Morgan, a former cowhand, and lately, former professor of agriculture arrives in the wildest cow town on the prairie. He is looking for land to grow wheat.
This book has it all. A great plot with plenty of actions and strong characters that carry the author's theme of stoic honor and honesty.
The first few chapters were great with a lot of action but the pace did not keep up with the plot. Still a good read.
Seth rescues a young girl from a Indian raiding party and it her home to be raised by his adopted family. They name her Rosebud because she has no memory and because of being found close and the Rosebud River. They survive an evil uncle, Indian attacks, and love.
Not on the par with the Bondboy, another by the author. Numerous characters looking for a new start try for Claim Number One. A good plot, strong characters but weak on action.
