Brides of Durango: Tessa

I have always enjoyed Bobbi Smith's books and this one was no different> I would definitley recommend it to anyone that appreciates historical romance. Her characters come alive in her writings..

Description from the back of book: Some called her an angel. Marshal Jared Trent regarded her as trouble with a capital T. Tessa Sinclair owned the local boarding house where she not only took care of the guests, but every unfortunate she came across. Brimming with compassion, Tessa was so busy rescuing people she didn't notice the dangers she continually faced -- but Jared did. In fact, he noted every move the willful beauty made. The most daring of all being the position she took up in his heart. Tessa prided herself on seeing the best in everyone, but Jared Trent's determination to curtail her activities sorely tested her patience. As handsome as he was infuriating, Jared unearthed feelings Tessa had never experienced before. And he helped extract her from one perilous situation after another, she realized she wouldn't mind getting caught in some close encounters with the dashing lawman himself -- little dreaming he would unveil the love of a lifetime. * This is book #2 in a 3 book series. I found that I favored this book over the first book. Jared Trent was a very likable Hero as well as another man you'll meet in this book. If I could break down my rating it would be 4 3/4 stars. I rounded up to 5 stars because I did truly enjoy it although my tiny bit of criticism for this book is that it was basically 2 love stories in one book. There was as much time spent on the 2nd romance as the main one & the female from this second romance was somebody that you came to not really like from the first book. I found myself liking this female in book #2 & wished I hadn't gotten a negative impression from the first book. But, aside from all that this book was wonderful. Both romances included. Also seeing Elise & Trace from book #1 was a wonderful bonus. I loved the adventure & excitement in this book & I highly recommend the Brides of Durango series.

I love series books. This book continues with some of the same characters from "Elise" that started this series.This book was a great escape, easy reading and very entertaining. The characters are believable and seem real. It had great adventure and a fabulous amount of romantic tension. If you like Bobbie Smith and need a break from reality, go for it.
