A Cowboy for Clementine (Harlequin Superromance, No. 1029)

Summary: Rich in the real things of life
Review: Susan Floyd has a knack for presenting a story so real and down to earth and moving I have to take my hat off to her.
Her characters struggle with the problems all of us struggle with, but they're not just the surface difficulties of rounding up wild cows or running a ranch alone. The inner fears and strengths of Real Life are presented with insight and compassion,
and the growth and resilience of her hero and heroine are inspiring. Ms. Floyd understands life and doesn't flinch from grappling with it.

I loved the ranch setting, the lovingly detailed mid-California countryside, the banter among the cowhands, the clearly not-stereotypical heroine with her verve and insecurity
combined into a real, struggling, brave, person who learns to take risks. And the hero... well, we all want one like Dexter Scott.

This is the kind of writer whose works I will continue to seek; they ring with honesty and they touch me deeply.
