Book Review: Kill Me Twice, Thrill Me to Death
It’s time for me to catch up on my backlog of book reviews, so I’ve grouped these romantic suspense books into this bundled review. Now, I’ve long admired the way The Book Smugglers structured their review post, and since one of the Top 10 Things I’ve resolved to do this year ...
TBR Jan Book Review: Dear John
If I were asked to name one great male romantic fiction author 2 years ago, I would have said “None comes to my mind.” However, having read A Walk to Remember and watched the movie (on YouTube, no less!), and recently followed that up with the heart-achingly sweet war romance (well, ...
Great Western Romances: Diablo, The Scotsman and Never Love a Lawman
It’s the New Year, and time for me to catch up on that backlog of book reviews, over the next couple of weeks (I hope!). One post that has been sitting in my draft folder for the longest time, is that follow-up to the Great Western Drive spearheaded by Kristie, ...
Book Review: Lords of the Underworld series (Books 1 to 4)
Well, I did promise that the next post would be about Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series, didn’t I? And since I’ve been slacking off on posts -- the understatement of the year, if ever there was an award for it – it’s more than time I make up ...
Review: Angel's Blood, Mine to Possess
It has been a while since my last Nalini Singh novel … 14 months and 25 days if one were inclined to be precise.

Naturally, it was a ...It’s the New Year, and time for me to catch up on that backlog of book reviews, over the next couple of weeks (I hope!). One post that has been sitting in my draft folder for the longest time, is that follow-up to the Great Western Drive spearheaded by Kristie, Sybil and Wendy some months back.
Well, I had the chance to read through several Western romances from different eras in the last couple of months: Diablo (1990s), The Scotsman Wore Spurs (1997) by Patricia Potter, and Never Love A Lawman by Jo Goodman (2009). Without further ado, here’s how they stack up in my books …
I have Kristie to thank for pointing me in the direction of Diablo. I’ve read other books by Patricia Potter but never touched any of her Western romances until the Great Western Drive. And since the UBS I visited carried The Scotsman Wore Spurs, I took that out on rental too.
A brief summary on Diablo … Kane o’Brien, a.k.a Diablo, was sentenced to death when a US marshal who wanted information on a secretive, and notorious outlaw hideout called Sanctuary, approached him with a deal. Find out where it is, and he and his friend would be pardoned. However, nothing prepared him for temptation in the form of Nicole Thompson when he rode in to Sanctuary.
