TEXAS COMBACKER (Baynes Clan, Book 2)
The prospect is grim and violent as Milt Baynes rides to clear the name of his clan in Louisiana in 1868. But when he interrupts a lynching at a burning ranch in Texas he meets a small redhead with a sharp tongue and a strong character, Cris Mills. With Cris and her brother Win, he be comes involved in the defense of ranchers against vicious outlaws and corruption in high places. The grim story is lightened by the budding romance of Milt and Cris-- hilariously funny at times. The writing is skillful, brisk, sharply graphic, with great gunplay, fisticuffs, and clever repartee. The feisty female characters are intelli gent, courageous, determined--equal to any male. Guaranteed enjoyable read ing.- Sister Avila, Acad. of Holy Angels, MinneapolisCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
