The General's Notorious Widow (Belles of Lordsburg #2)
Sadly, the second Lordsburg title doesn't come close to having  the strength of the first. Lixie Miller, introduced in The  Senator's Other Daughter (LJ 2/1/01), is notorious for getting  on with her life after discovering her husband, a general, in  the arms of another woman a discovery that brought on his fatal  heart attack. As the tart-tongued Lixie strives for a peaceful  life in Lordsburg, NM, she is hounded by a dime novelist who  wants to tell her story (or his version of it). Lixie applies  her belief that God loves everyone and ends up caring for a hurt  Indian girl no one else wants to help. Unfortunately, the  usually entertaining Bly is disappointing here, and a flat  romance between Lixie and a Santa Fe attorney and the addition  of a vicious outlaw don't liven up the story.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
