A great read despite the formula, Mar 15 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cowboys: Sean (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading a dozen inane romance novels, how wonderful it was to stumble across Leigh Greenwood's Cowboys series! He uses tight plots, interesting characters, balanced couples, and the atmosphere of the West seems to spark every scene. They are a delight to read -- with one caveat. Space out your reading, for apparently they all have the same general plot, even the same sex scene. After reading three at once, I was able to point to sections in the fourth book and say, "covetous neighbor introduced here," "first sex scene here," "kidnapping here," and know that the woman would say "please" during the sex, which seems to consist of the same foreplay each time. It's fine to have a formula if it works well, and Mr. Greenwood's formula certainly does! Again, I emphasize how exciting and well-written (and crafted) his books are. But just don't read them all together or you'll get a serious case of deja vu.

Disappointing, Aug 28 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cowboys: Sean (Mass Market Paperback)
Leigh Greenwood started us off with a great story in the series the Cowboys, with Jake she has created wonderful characters, with the potential of some great reading. I liked Ward, Buck, Chet, what happened to Sean? She made a buffoon out of him. Come on if your just going to mass produced books to keep on with the series stop now...The boys all have wonderful strong personalities but you would never know it with Sean. Also his closest friend Pete you'd never know from this story they were, or the strong family ties with the Maxwells and all the boys. Read the first chapter and the last two chapters and you'll have the story such as it is. Leigh Greenwood owes her readers an apology for this one.

I like the character of Sean, but the book is a let down., April 25 1999
This review is from: The Cowboys: Sean (Mass Market Paperback)
Sean's characerter is one any woman would love. But to match him with someone like Pearl was a real disappointment. You have to wait six months for these books, and I really felt let down. I really felt like Sean deserved a better woman and story than what he got. Jake and the Randolph series was a lot better. I hope Leigh Greenwood goes back to his old style of writing for the next book.
