5.0 out of 5 stars
terrific western romance, Oct 4 2006
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hawk's Pursuit (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1865 reporter Jena Leigh Hawk believes in telling the truth to her readers yet hides her gender behind the male sounding name of J. L. Rebel. She does that because she knows men have a better chance of getting the story while she hopes this job enables her to complete her quest, finding her siblings. She also hides her beauty behind thick glasses and shabby oversized clothing as she does not want anyone to hit on her.
Her current assignment is personal as she has found some clues that lead her to Galveston, Texas in search of her two brothers Whit and Drew. However, her efforts are made complicated by Colonel Clay Madison who rescues her from a union soldier and somehow seems to see past her drab garb to her beauty and her cynical exterior to the heart of the matter. While she investigates a prostitute's homicide and continues her search for her family, he insists on protecting the woman he loves who is now the target of a killer.
The third Hawk tale (see HAWK and HAWK'S PASSION) is a terrific western romance due to the fearless fiery female who rejects male intervention and protection, which leads to stormy battles with, in her mind, overly protective Clay. The story line is action-packed as J.L. seeks clues to finding her brother, but the not so civil gender war makes the tale fun to read.

I have one minor complaint about this book, Mar 19 2007
By M. Levkulich "Msright" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hawk's Pursuit (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. But I do have a small complaint and it has to do with proof-reading. I'm reading the series in order and one right after the other. But I was confused when I started reading this book. I knew it was the third and took place after the first two. But they dated the book as taking place the year before. So at first I thought maybe they were back tracking. But then I realized it was a typo. I'm glad they finally got 2 of the siblings together. I was really disappointed that Whit and Laura Ann (Elizabeth) did not connect in the 2nd book. I wish they would smarten Chantelle up a bit. I know she's keeping Angie around to keep an eye on her. But she doesn't seem to put much effort in keeping Angie from causing trouble. But still I'm looking forward to reading the 4th and final book.

This was an excellent story in and of itself, but as a series it was wonderful. The story and people are great! Read all 4 books in 2 days. Could not put them down. I am becomeing an avid fan of O'Banyon's western historical romances! Cannot wait to see what comes out next!
