Headstrong Casey Straton inherited her mother's beautiful eyes and her father's stubborn temperament. So when she is denied the responsibility of running her grandfather's ranch despite her unladylike prowess at roping, riding and shooting the high-spirited hellion storms away from her Texas home, determined to prove she can do much more than "woman's work." Successful businessman Damian Rutledge III came West for vengeance. But though he possesses a powerful physique and unwavering courage, the handsome Eastern "dude" would have surely been lost in the wild west without the timely intervention of a half-pint bounty hunter called "Ed." There is more to this fearless gunslinger than first meets the eye, however. And when Damian discovers his rescuer is, in fact, a stunningly sensuous young lady named "Casey' in disguise, he realises dial there are going to be very serious complications on the rocky trail that is leading them both toward a dangerous, irrepressible love.

A finales del siglo pasado y en Texas no es fácil para una chica demostrar su valía y dar rienda suelta a su carácter independiente y emprendedor. No obstante, la atractiva Casey está dispuesta a conseguirlo pese a quien pese. Para empezar, le pesará -y mucho- a su padre (el inolvidable Chandos de Corazón Indómito), que se opone rotundamente a permitirle llevar las riendas del rancho familiar. Pero Casey es una joven indómita que no se arredra ante nada, ni siquiera ante el principal obstáculo que entorpece sus aspiraciones, esto es, su condición femenina, a la que decide camuflar bajo un burdo disfraz masculino y lanzarse a galope tendido por el peligroso Oeste, ejerciendo una profesión aún más peligrosa: cazarrecompensas...

This is such a great book! I love it! Please read! There is a book before this one, but you don't have to read it to follow along... but I've read both books and love them both.

update 10/7/13... this book just gets better and better. I listened as an audiobook this time and it was awesome. 5 stars for the book and 5 stars for the narration. ( )

I do love romances, but this one just missed the mark. Where the story lost points includes the following:

1. It starts out with the hero believing the heroine is a teenage boy called "the kid". He complains of his bad body odor and his bluntness, but yet finds himself oddly attracted to her/him.

2. It turns out the kid is really a girl around 18 years old who became a bounty hunter to prove a point to her father about being able to take on mans work. When proving how "grown up" you are to your parents, running away and taking part in a profession which could get you killed doesn't strike me as the best way to demonstrate maturity.

3. The hero, Damien, is a bit flat. There's not much about him that I found appealing.

4. Damien has so much wealth he buys train cars to ride in. Really? He's spending money like he's the kid who created Facebook. It's just a bit too unrealistic.

5. Despite a book full of gunfights, the hero and heroine do not take a single bullet (one gets grazed, but that's about it). They manage to get out of more sticky situations than McGyver and take down many many trained killers.

6. The romance is just weak. It's unclear what they saw in each other and Casey kept running away from him. For a brave heroine, she lacks all bravery when it comes to this. Damien is equally guilty. Their feelings are only expressed at the very end, and then in a rushed way.

7. The side characters fell short. All of them.

8. How did they keep finding the person they were hunting down? I have no idea. It was a bit too "lucky" to be realistic.

It's a readable book, but I wouldn't recommend this one. ( )

Typical Lindsey historical. Girl dresses like a boy romance. Quick read. ( )
