The Cowboys

Summary: Never A Dull Moment!
Review: Leigh Greenwood is an exceptional author. Matt lived up to my expectations and then some. The story was handled with compassion,understanding, and trust. Matt quickly turned into a full fledged 3D character who reached out from the pages to become real. Awesome book!

Summary: It was OK/Not Worthy of the Hype
Review: This book was a passable western romance. Unlikely coincidences and the heroine prevented this story from being better. I found the frequency of sexual molestation to be too coincidental and not necessary for the poignancy the author was trying to achieve. Further, the heroine was somewhat of a shrew. When she turned away from Matt after his confession, I wanted him to leave her and find somebody worthy of his love. The author was never able to justify the heroine's bad behaviour and redeem her.
One item about the book that I really liked was that the hero was a virgin. Overall, I applaud the author for dealing with a difficult topic (sexual molestation of children), but this book is definitely a grade C.

Summary: Matt
Review: Very good book as all of Greenwoods books are.
I have the cowboy series, and Matt is one of my favorite books in the series. A very well written book about sexual child abuse and the effects it has on childern, even in the eighteen hundrens.
I was heartbroken to learn the Lee Grteenwoods publishers have made him start on a new series before finishing the Cowboy series.
