The Gallant Outlaw

I am now up to book 15 -- near the end --in The House of Winslow series and have enjoyed everyone of them. The adventures are great and are also factual -- I feel I know more about history than I did before and I have looked up on the Internet some of the historical characters in this series as I have become more interested. I would reccomend starting at the begining although each story can be read seperately. Book 15 is just as good as the others and I haven't been able to put it down.

This was the first House of Winslow book I ever read, purchased from a mail-order book club unaware that it was part of a series; up until then I had only read 2 books in the Cheney Duvall, MD series by Mr. Morris and his daughter. Like with many adventure and mystery stories, some parts of the book get a little tedious and you want the story to move along, but I enjoyed the story otherwise. Note: This is one of several instances where Mr. Morris reuses the same plot (or subplot) more than once. Betsy is tricked into believing she's married to Vic when the phony preacher promises to fill out the license paperwork and mail it to them later; in #7 The Reluctant Bridegroom, Rebekah finds out her husband already has a wife (and later marries Sky Winslow); and in #19 The Iron Lady, Rebekah and Sky's granddaughter Priscilla makes the exact same mistake! But if you don't mind repetitive plots, you won't mind those similarities.

Lanie sets out to with one mission: To find her sister and rescue her from a man that they had once trusted. But, Lanie never expected to find love in the process. And that's exactly what happens, even though it takes her and Lobo a bit of time to realize it. She still so worried about her sister that she doesn't think she has time to worry about herself and her well being. Go with her through a rough territory and dangerous journey. I found this book adventurous and exciting with a wonderful plot set in the late 19th century!

Gilbert Morris presents a fascinating plot line and well-developed characters in The Gallant Outlaw. When Zachary Winslow's daughter, Betsy, elopes with a charming rouge, Lanie, her older sister, determines to rescue her. Lanie's attempts fail until she meets Lobo Smith, a one-eyed gunman with a shady past. Lanie purchases Lobo's help, but troubles still plauge her. Is Lobo really an honorable man under his outlaw facade? Can she rescue her sister before it's too late?
