Summer Fires

I enjoyed seeing the three stories of the Slater Brothers brought together in one book - it sure keeps the reader from having to hunt around to find the sequels. This book contains Cole Slater & Kristin McCahy's story (Dark Stranger) during the Civil War with jayhawks and bushwackers both interested in the McCahy farm, Malachi Slater & Shannon McCahy's story (Rides A Hero) right after the war with the kidnapping of Kristin McCahy Slater and the capturing of the 3 gunfightn' Slater Brothers wanted for murder, and Jamie Slater & Tess Stuart's story (Apache Summer) several years after the war on the frontier land of Texas where Tess Stuart is being forced off her land by a greedy man who already owns the rest of the town. It makes for good read- with Heather Graham being the author the reader won't want for much. Some of the sexual encounters are pretty graphic- if that bothers you you might want to avoid it. Some readers overlook and go on. HG always tells an exciting story.

I get really tired of a lot of today's romance stories that have to be so darn politically correct! Heather Graham and Connie Mason tend to buck the system a bit by giving us women who need to be rescued from themselves and the bad guys. I will admit that some of the sex in these books tend to be a bit much, I skip over some of it. I love the stories and the romance in this book of reprints of three of Heather Grahams first works. Give me a knight in shinning armor or a super hero anytime. Five Stars for Summer Fires.

I fell in love with the book Dark Stranger about two years ago and I have been searching for the two sequels in the series ever since only to find out that they were out of print. I am elated that I am finally able to get the "rest of the story" about the Slater brothers. I know I will love anything that Heather Graham writes and she hasn't disappointed me yet. Dark Stranger is no exception.
