Cally and the Sheriff

I absolutely LOVE this book! Believe it or not, this is the first romance I have ever read. I am now completely addicted to them due to this book! I can't stop thinking about the story. The characters are just amazing. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

CALLY AND THE SHERIFF is a fun, quick and easy read! A very sweet tale!

I hate these author discrepancies! Sheriff Andrew Haywood slowly sinks into hormones and love. He has Cally DuBois [du Bwah] pa in jail for murder. Is he really guilty? She keeps trying to slip weapons into the jail undercover [grin, nice try] past the Sheriff, who she hates, in trying to help her pa break out. Then, doggone it, pa ends up dying in jail. Now what? Papa DuBois has asked Andrew to look after his daughter and the sheriff takes him seriously. But when he approaches Cally to tell her that her father has died things start to happen. Especially the night of the storm. We also have another element show up in the form of Val Milton and Fancy Stedwell, sister of Parker Stedwell. Parker and buddy, Terris has been broken out of the prison at Leavenworth - bank robbers and forgers. Sheriff Haywood and his drawings were responsible for capturing the pair of crooks and they have vowed to have revenge on the sheriff. What a great twist to the story when Val shows up to claim Cally's farm for her fathers' gambling. As luck would have it Andrew gets Cally to move into town, lock, stock and canned food - with the sheriff graciously taking in her mule, cow and 2 dogs. The dogs proved to be a great help although Cally resented the sheriff's friendship with Royal. I had to laugh when the ladies, Noella and Easter Gwynn, who had taken in Cally tried to warn her about men and their intentions. [quote]"Men are like...bees. They will try to take nectar from as many flowers as they can. It is up to the flower to stop them." I guess the advise confused her. Here it comes again. The sheriff loves Cally but he doesn't want to get married. Too dangerous. Oh, you have to read it to get the right nuances. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -? - NEAT ADDITION TO YOU LIBRARY.

He knew he'd promised to watch out for Cally DuBois. But he'd never expected to be mooning over a wildflower of a woman who'd just as soon shoot him as look at him!Sheriff Haywood just kept looking out for her, no matter what kind of weapon she waved at him. And Cally was beginning to think the stubborn man was blinded by that fever she saw in his eyes every time he looked at her. A fever that seemed to be catching!

A great classic! Austin delivers a heart-wrenching tale about a independant woman and a man who doesn't want to let her go! 6+stars!!!
