Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
How refreshing: a heroine who runs a bordello, can take care of herself very well, thank you, and isn't above uttering the occasional curse word. Spirited Ann McCastle, when not warning assorted evildoers off with her shotgun, manages her own wild west saloon. After her partner dies, Ann carries on solo, until the enigmatic Ian McShane shows up, claiming her partner sold him controlling shares in the saloon just before his death. In order to keep rival businessmen and amorous customers at bay, Ian suggests that he and Ann marry. The fact that strong-willed Ann gives in to the suggestion with relatively little argument is a bit out of character, but with so much going on in the plot, it's easy to forgive. Once married, Ann realizes she's given up much more than her maiden name. How is she going to keep Ian in the dark about the secret door in her bedroom, used for slipping away in order to aid the town's underdogs against the resident land baron? In typical Drake style (Knight of Fire), the plot moves right along with a plethora of interesting secondary characters and story lines, including flashbacks of Indian massacres, whores with hearts of gold, arson, loyal lawyers, a French chef and a theater-struck young man who quotes Defoe.

A GREAT BOOK! I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!, Dec 3 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Branded Hearts (Mass Market Paperback)
I never read a romance novel before, always thinking that they had no point, but from the moment that I picked this book up at the airport I've been hooked ever since. It was a good thing that the plane ride was a relatively long one, because I'm sure that if we landed I couldn't have put the book down long enough to get my baggage. The plot was enticing, the characters charming, and the surprises around every corner kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the way that Ann could shoot and ride with the best of them, and the chemistry and passion between Ian and Ann was wonderful. I definately recommend reading this book. You won't want to put it down!

Lots of chemistry., April 27 2000
By "car6146614" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Branded Hearts (Mass Market Paperback)
Ian and Ann are survivors of an attack when they were young, but they don't know it. Throw in some sexual tension, engaging secondary characters and a villian who wants Ann and her saloon, and you've got one heck of a western. I like Ian and the way Ann tries to "manage" him. Read and find out how.

Well Done!, Dec 30 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Branded Hearts (Mass Market Paperback)
It has a great feel of the Old West, romance, intrigue, and poignant scenes with a shocking secret that involves the two main characters. It's worth the read!
