Cowboy and the Captive
This is the way a novella is supposed to be written. Plenty of character development, a storyline that is strong and doesn’t feel contrived, lots of steamy chemistry, a small bit of angst and some thriller type drama to wrap it all up. I loved that Luc wanted Melina even when he didn’t know who she really was and had no reason to want her at all. However, once those wheels started, he was determined to continue on the ride to make her his woman and protect her along the way. Wonderful story and a reminder why I’ve always liked this author.

Cowboy and the Thief
Another great little read. Didn’t have the angst as the previous one did, but it had the potential to be a full blown novel had the author decided to go that way. She could definitely do a historical romance writing the first warrior’s story – the man who received the torque and started the whole thing. Again, there is plenty of chemistry and steam but this one also included a few BDSM practices.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and reacquainting myself with Lora Leigh’s writing.
