The Agreement

A friend of mine told me to read THE AGREEMENT, and I did with reservations. Thank you, thank you, Mary for introducing me to Ms. O'Banyon's book. I liked the story and the love between Lauren and Garret. The book is deep in plot and Ms. O'Banyon took me to Texas in the early days. Since this is a series book, I have bought the other three. I just finished The Wild One, and I loved it. I am ready to read The Half-Breed and I know it will be good too. So far, I have not been disappointed. I will definately buy all of Ms. O'Banyon's books.

The Agreenemt is a must read. I don't know how Ms. O'Banyon came up with such a wonderful plot, but I kept reading and turning the pages. My husband said he wanted dinner on the table and I told him to get it himself. I was reading. Lauren McBride's character was so real, I felt I knew her. And Garret is my kind of guy. Don't laugh, but I found honor and kindness in this book. Wish we could see more of this. Ms. O'Banyon, thank you for your honor and kindness.

This was an excellent book!!! To give a little background, I?m a 34 year-old male who has never read a romance novel. It wasn?t until I was in a car accident and had an extended hospital stay that I began reading O?Banyon?s books. It was after hours, and the gift shop was closed, all my wife had for me to read was The Agreement. I was reluctant at first but decided may options were limited and read it anyway. After the first page, I was hooked. I couldn?t put it down! I left the hospital a week later and immediately went to the bookstore to buy every Constance O?Banyon book I could get my hands on. She writes historical based stories with the perfect mixture of action and romance. I feel that I am speaking for my gender when saying that any man could pick up this book and fully enjoy it. She is the only romance novelist I have read and the only one I will ever read. I highly recommend this book to anyone, male or female who is looking for a classic story.

In 1882 Texas, Lauren McBride knows she loves Garret Lassiter. However, her father and her brothers reject anything Lassiter, as the family is their enemy. His killing of her father's favorite steed, even to protect her, did not help any relationship form. Though he loves her Garret breaks her heart, as the timing is wrong because she is too young and not a woman yet. All Lauren knows is that she must forget Garret and head east to live in Savannah as a lady. Four years later, Lauren returns home to learn that her father demands she marry Garret if her brothers are to inherit the family property. She agrees to a marriage of convenience, but he wants more even as he hides his love for her and she likewise does the same. Happiness between a Lassiter and a former McBride seemingly remains impossible The latest "Secret Fires" Texas romance, THE AGREEMENT, is a tender tale that continue the McBride saga. The story line is genial because the lead couple make a warm pair that readers will adore. Though this novel lacks the bite of THE WILD ONE and THE HALF-BREED, the novel furnishes the audience with much merriment in its own way. Fans of this series will only have a short wait in terms of a calendar but not in terms of desire for the release of the next novel, THE LONER by Evelyn Rogers.Harriet Klausner
