Code of the West: The Cowboy's Code

Softcover contains three stories. Description from the book back cover: Reunited with his former ladylove, Luke Tanner proves that "Cowboys Don't Quit". "Cowboys Don't Stay" was once Noah Tanner's mantra ... until he discovered he had a daughter! "The Cowboy and the Kid" - that's how single dad Taggart Jones envisioned his future. But his matchmaking offspring wouldn't rest until Taggart was wearing a wedding ring!

Wonderful stuff: this is the human nature school of romance at its very best. Anne McAllister is one of my favourite authors anyway and this collection is a dream. The heroes are to die for. I think my favourite is Luke, the wounded soul. Then I think, no what about Noah the bad boy making good. Or no, its Taggart, the loving father and good citizen who puts a lid on any needs of his own in case they go bad on him again.These are not fantasy cowboys. They work hard at their profession and have the broken bones to prove it. The heroines have real issues too - and some seriously invasive friends and neighbours. To say nothing of family. Love the bit where Taggart is trying to get his seven year old to listen and all she does is point her boots in and out, for instance.Never been so glad of a happy ending - well three, this book is pure self indulgence - in my life. Love brings self- realisation and healing in The COde of the West. Red hot sex, too.To everyone who mocks the romance genre I say, read Anne McAllister and eat your words, suckers!

Three of Anne McAllister's BEST all in one book! In fact, I already have the three books COWBOYS DON'T QUIT, COWBOYS DON'T STAY, and THE COWBOY AND THE KID, but I still want this one. That way when I re-read McAllister's great cowboys I don't have to get up between books...I just get to keep on wallowing in cowboys! Each book alone is worth 5-stars, so I'm giving this one FIFTEEN!
