Wild Star (Star Series)

I have read Midnight Star, Evening Star, and now this one Wild Star. This one is my favorite out of this series. Also, it is one of my all time favorite books. (I haven't read Jade Star yet though) It has everything I was looking for in a romance book. I really liked Byrony and Brent. Byrony gets the short end of the deal up until the end of this book, but she never complains or regrets any of her choices. Brent is strong and plays protector very well. Byrony's father is an abusive man and she will do anything to get away from him. Even marry a man she doesn't love to escape him. After she marries, she realizes that her husband had another motive for marrying her. It is a pretty sick one too. Anyway, the night she finds out about her husband, she runs off into town and stumbles across some drunks. Brent comes to the rescue and from there on out, it is Brent and Byrony trying to overcome their pasts. Brent comes to find out that he owns a hugh plantation and they go back there to figure out what to do with it, because he also owns a saloon that he wants to keep. There is some trouble and this is where Brent really finds himself. He has to face his past. Then Byrony finally gets to face her father and all is well. Lots of action and romance and drama. Kept me interested from page one. I have a hard time reading books to the end without skipping pages, but I read every page in this book.

I really love catherine coulter's books but this is one of my favorite. I enjoyed reading it and was entertained with all the twists of her plots and the unpredictable moves of the character. the setting was an early victorian san francisco. if you are into that, this book is a must. i recommend it as a good traveling company, makes you fall in love...

This is the third book in the series. I am reading it for the second time and it is better the second time around. I can't say I was disappointed with any of the 4 books in the series. They are all different and each book talks about the other characters from the previous books. I wish CC would write yet another book in the series. I think this might be my favorite series to read out of every author that I read, and I read a bunch! Once you start reading one, you can't put it down. If you enjoy reading books for the romance, these 4 books are all equally very steamy with romance. You won't be disappointed!Brent can be a bit of a pig and doesn't really apologize for the awful things he says to Byrony, but I think he might make up for his shortcomings in the end. He sure is sexy though!

First, I enjoyed this story, but I didn't give it five stars for personal reasons. I did not like that the hero lacked so much self-control! What was his problem anyway? He talked to poor Byrony very crudely and I really couldn't see what she saw in him. In fact, he viewed her as an object that belonged to him! The nerve of the man! I am glad that Byrony developed a back bone and stood up for herself, otherwise I would have been completely irritated with her. I liked that the author took us back to Brent's "Beginnings" on the plantation, he definitely had some demons to work out before he could really let go of his past. In that respect, I enjoyed the psychological view to the way he thought. Although this story made me angry at times, (very angry) I was never bored with it. In fact I hardly realized how close to the end of the book I was, so I rate this story high. If you don't mind egotistical, immoral, lack of self-control men, then I recommend this book, thankfully the other characters more than make up for the hero and he does seem to finally get his act together.

Catherine Coulter is fast becominng a favorite of mine. This book was funny, challenging and romantically stormy. hehe Poor Brent never had a chance :) This third in the series was wonderful.
