Diablo

ASIN: 0553566026 Diablo by Patricia Potter This is the 1st in a trilogy and a 5+ star read as is each book that follows in this series. The story begins with Kane O'Brien, the notorious outlaw Diablo, siting in prison waiting to hang. There he is visited by US Marshal, Ben Masters. Masters offers him a pardon if Diablo will infiltrate the deadly outlaw hideout, Sanctuary. No one knows where Sanctuary is, the few law-men sent prior, were never seen again. The governor wants it shut down and the deadly outlaws hidden there brought in. This book is loaded with everything a Western Romance reader will appreciate. Danger, characters so fleshed out, they come alive and pop off the pages, emotions so strong they wrench your insides, and romance that not only sizzles but touches your heart. Fair warning: there is violence and most of these outlaws aren't portrayed any other way than deadly, dangerous and violent. The 2nd title in this outstanding trilogy is Ben Master's story: THE MARSHALL AND THE HEIRESS. The 3rd and final installment: THE SCOTSMAN WORE SPURS. Characters intermingle thru each of these books. Although it really isn't required, I recommend reading these books in order as the main characters characterizations deepens with each story. Patricia Potter is an outstanding author. Highly recommend this book and the entire trilogy.
