Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Howard's ( A Lady of the West ) ability to develop engaging romantic characters is the greatest asset in this otherwise routine tale of a 19th-century female homesteader and the rancher who wins her heart. Dee Swann lives alone, and that's the way she wants it. She tends her small Colorado settlement, dissuading the occasional unwelcome suitor with a round of buckshot. Unfortunately, the local gents are also interested in Angel Creek, Dee's reliable water supply. When after a 10-year absence Lucas Cochran returns to inherit his father's ranch, he succumbs to the lure of the spunky woman and her creek--although he expects he'll marry socially well-placed Olivia Millican, Dee's only close friend. Dee's claims of independence seem less convincing after a fall renders her temporarily immobile, dependent on neighbor Lucas's help for even the simplest chores. Lucas presses his advantage, luring Dee into the intimacy she had always shunned. But as the relationship blossoms, the land withers in a dry spell that makes Angel Creek look ever more desirable to ranchers with thirsty cattle--men with no qualms about running roughshod over Dee or her little patch of earth.

Product Description

Desire came like a wildfire to the Colorado hills...to claim a woman's property...and her heart.

For five years after her father died, lithe, beautiful Dee Swann held on to Angel Creek valley and her independence. The homestead was hers, and she vowed no one else would ever own it...or her. Then Lucas Cochran came back to Colorado. In the drought-cursed high country, he needed Angel Creek and its cool water to turn his Double C ranch into the cattle dynasty he craved. His ruthless ambition guaranteed he would fight to take it away from the black-haired, green-eyed spitfire who claimed it.

But the passion that blazed when Dee Swann and Lucas Cochran met shocked them both. Unbidden, unexpected, their kisses swept them toward a dangerous destiny where dreams might be scattered...men could be killed...or love would be born as wild and unfettered as this glorious frontier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoo, Jul 2 2004
By S. Quevedo "szoer" (San Diego, ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Angel Creek (Mass Market Paperback)
What can I say? I still haven't read a Linda Howard book that I didn't love. This book was no exception.

Dee is a very, very strong character, yet she's feminine. Lucas is the alpha male that Linda Howard (and me) loves so much. These two actually cause so many sparks I thought the pages in my book were going to catch fire!

Anyhoot, I highly recommend this book (all Linda Howard books for that matter).

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute book, Jun 23 2004
By Amanda Lynn (Oh United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angel Creek (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're looking for a good book with heroic characters and a quaint story behind it, read Angel Creek. I have to admit, it's a change from the rest of LH's books, but that doesn't deface it's value.

A sidenote - one of Angel Creeks characters is originally from A Lady of the West. Pleasant surprise, seeing as how I didn't want A Lady of the West to ever end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Characters, Mar 27 2003
This review is from: Angel Creek (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a very good book...and different. I say that because the secondary couple, Olivia and Lewis Fonteras, seemed to me to have equal time in the story with the lead characters. Usually this would annoy me because in most instances secondary characters are never as developed, and you never get to see what really happens to them. But in this story I ended up loving them even more than the lead characters. There was a true love between the couple and a beautiful coming together. But with the lead characters, Dee Swann and Lucas Cochran, while they were wonderful characters, I was annoyed with Lucas. He was portrayed as being extremely selfish in my point of view. He cared about Dee, but mostly it seemed to me that he just "wanted" her. All in all this was a great book. Definitely a keeper.
