All I Need Is You (Straton Family, 2)

I love this book. I read it for the first time a while back, and it stayed with me enough to make me buy it. I loved "A Heart So Wild", and I think this was a fitting sequel. People are complaining about how Chandos wouldn't have let her go in the first place, but it seems to escape them that Chandos's daughter would have more than a small idea of what she wanted to do and the abilities to do it. Casey is very strong willed, but that's something most Lindsey readers expect. She can do anything a man can do, and that's something else I've come to expect. I love her stories because I can see myself in a lot of the heroines, and this one doesn't disappoint.

All I Need Is You is the sequel to A Heart So Wild, and what a sequel it is too! The first book traces the romance of the parents, Chandos Straton and Courtney Harte, the sequel is the story of one of their children, their daughter, Casey. To prove to her father that she is capable of running a major family ranching interest, Casey decides to take employment doing what a man can do. She thus becomes a bounty hunter and is hired by Damian Rutledge to track his father's murderer. It is an exciting tale, filled with humor and great plot development. But perhaps, one of the more satisfying things is reading about the parents again, so deftly described in the first novel. This is another of Ms. Lindsey's demonstrations of expert writing. It is hard to put this book down, and it is a most enjoyable read.

cuando yo vi la descripcion del libro decidi comprarlo, pues ya yo lo habia leido en Ingles y queria mandarselo a mi hermana que esta en Cuba para que lo disfrutara. El libro en ingles se llama GENTLE ROGUE, y es la historia de Georgina que se disfraza de hombre y se enrola en el barco del capitan Hawke uno de los MALORY y es una trama bien bella y ocurre en Inglaterra. Pero que resulta que cuando yo recibi el libro EL CAMINO DEL AMOR es una historia bien linda pero es otra se desarolla en america y no tiene nada que ver con la saga de los MALORY. NO OBSTANTE yo recomiendo que lo lean Lindsey es una de mis escritoras favoritas y todos los libros de ella tienen romance, y son libros que uno disfruta a plenitud.

This book was fresh and exciting. I did not know there was a prequel, so now I am going to run out and grab it. Give it a try!

How can readers say that a book is a page skipper then complain that the plot isn't fully developed? Hello, you have to read the book. And as for the remarks about having Damien portrayed as a 'tenderfoot' - if a man has no weaknesses then that is an undeveloped character. I was throughly delighted by this book and I have returned to it many times to reread, if fact I have the audiotapes in my car for trips. Johanna Lindsey still has her gift of writing - unfortunately some readers no longer take the time to read the entire book.
