Outlaw

I recommend this book to anyone because it was a great read. The characters were great because showed them coming to terms with their growing feelings with each other, especially the hero of the book Ten because he's also dealing with emotions of being around people again not dealing with fighting wars. It was great also because Elizabeth Lowell show her characters dealing with any fears that Ten and Diana both had. As I said earlier this is a book that I recommend to anyone looking for something great to read.

Made the mistake of loaning all 4 of the books in this series out...and after they'd made the rounds, I never got them back. So, since I was purchasing, I decided to start with my favorite of the four. I loved the attraction between Diane & Tennessee & the background research that EP obviously labored over was just enough to add an interesting diminsion to the story. By the time the attraction between Ten & Diane hit high speed in the love factor, I was convinced Tennessee is the hottest hero to come out of the typed word since Rhett Butler! This time, I WILL not loan this book out. Warning! If you buy the book, hang on to it because you'll want to read it more than once!

This is the 2nd book in a series of 4 from E.Lowell. The current book is a re-release. I still have the original 4 books from long ago. I loved the story of Tennessee and Diana and these books got me hooked on Elizabeth Lowell. Tennessee Blackthorne is a "ramrod" at the MacKenzie ranch in the 4-corners area of Colorado. He is a ex-military/warrior who came back to the land to heal his spirit. Diana Saxton is an archeologist coming to the MacKenzie ranch to research Anastazi Indian culture. She is also a wounded spirit due to an abusive father and fiance that left her terrified of men in general. These 2 people meet and heal each other. A very powerful and loving story. I have read this book many times and won't forget Ten & Diana. ->buy the books & series<-

The re-release of OUTLAW by Elizabeth Lowell is great. Catching up on characters we met before and finding out more about a character introduced in her previous books is always great. Ten and Diane each bring in their problems with trust. Each had been hurt before and with a background in the story of the Anasazi the story comes together. Claiming other motives each slowly realizes that what they can have is better than predictated hurt they will think they will get. Rereading this book is like getting reaquanted with old friends and makes you want to go back and reread all the books in this series.

Elizabeth Lowell has mastered the creation of the perfect hero. The handsome, strong, rugged hero who commands the respect of the men with whom he works, produces fear in the hearts of those who dare to cross his path and still manages to host a sensitive heart. He overcomes the fear of a brilliant, dedicated, man-shy, archaeologist who is stronger than she thinks and becoming stronger by the minute. In their own ways and with help from each other, they overcome their individual obstacles to love, to find in each other's arms a passion and love to last. And while that might sound corny, the truth is that none of the events in the novel come across as contrived for effect. And while it is a modern fairy tale, it is totally believable. It flows naturally and allows you to experience nature - the loveliness and wildness, as it draws you into the personas of Ten and Diana. Love it.
