The Last Good Man

I love this book can't wait to start reading it

As a ranch wife married to an honest-to-God cowboy, I usually avoid modern "western" romances. They tend to be cheesy, inaccurate, and basically mind-numbing to anyone who knows the difference. However, after reading all the positive reviews of the storyline of this book, I decided to give her a shot. Wow! Not only did she have a wonderful romance story (one of those books where you wish your man would read it and take notes), but it was realistic. I *know* people like these characters. Clay didn't seem to spend a whole lot of time on his place (who was checking his cows?), but other than that it was true-to-life. *This* book is what real ranchers and cowboys are like. And the romance...*sigh*. Neither character thought they were worthy of the other. Each trying their best to be what the other needs. That's what love should be, I think. :) This is one of those books where you'll close the cover and realize how good it's made you feel. What a gentle, wonderful story. I'm off to find some more!

It's been five years since Savannah's perfect body has graced the pages of Lady Elizabeth's Dreamwear Catalog. Now, no longer so perfect, she's come home to Sunbonnet, Wyoming. Clay doesn't care why Savannah has come home, only that she has. Savanna is all he's ever wanted. But when he comes calling, she won't leave her Aunt Billie's house. Not in the light of day, anyway. She's running scared. Hiding from the town and its questions. Hiding from the pain. Kathleen Eagle takes on a difficult subject with insight and humor. And a word of warning: find a comfortable spot before you sit down to read, because you won't want to move for awhile.

I disagree with Ms. Houston in her unsympathetic view of Savannah. She may know women who've had breast cancer, but it's completely different from someone who's had it and survived it. A point no one has brought up, is the fact that Savannah is also suffering from depression. In addition to dealing with the fear and shock of cancer and having a portion of her body amputated, she's also trying to get up out of bed. A woman that has depended on her looks for her whole identity and income, now feels she no longer has that. The book, in my opinion, nails these thoughts and fears. Ms. Eagle did her homework. I would recommend this wonderful book to anyone. It also makes a truly "from the heart" gift for a woman in recovery. The subject is out of the closet. Thank you, Ms. Eagle, for your sensitive approach to a devastating subject.

In response to the reviewer who thinks Savanah is pitiful, fortunately you haven"t walked in her shoes. Kathleen Eagle has done it again. This story of Savanah, a beautiful model with breast canser will help us all to empathise with victims of cancer. It is also a great love story between Savanah and Clay. My description of the story will not do it justice. The varied relationships are handeled so well you feel as though you have visited with real people. Do yourself and every friend or sister you know and highly reccomend this book. The only problem with Kathleens books are they leave you wanting the same degree of talent and you find most other writers are lacking. If you haven"t read her other books, pick up "SUNRISE SONG" be ready to be higly entertained educated,(without preaching), and totally blown away.

The Last Good Man by Kathleen Eagle is a beautiful lovestory that deals with a serious issue. Savannah and Clay Keogh will stay with me for a long time as I felt they were real people, living their lives along with mine in Sunbonnet! This book is excellent. Characters were well developed...I hated it for it to end. Ms. Eagle, you are simply wonderful!
