Representaion During Books Heartbreaker (Rescues #3)
Michelle Cabot has inherited her father's Florida cattle ranch -- and a mountain of debt. To make matters worse, a huge chunk of that debt is owed to the neighboring rancher, her nemesis John Rafferty. Nothing shocks Rafferty more than discovering that the spoiled, pampered rich girl he once despised is painstakingly trying to run the Cabot ranch herself, working the land with desperation the only thing she has left. He likes this new Michelle and decides to make her his woman. What he doesn't know is that underneath Michelle's cool, polished façade lies heartache, secrets and the raw determination to live life as her own woman. But Rafferty isn't about to take no for an answer.

You gotta love the fashions described. Lol. I'm becoming a huge fan of Linda Howard. Her writing reminds me of Sandra Brown. :-)Well, well, well, what do you know? When Linda Howard puts her mind into developing her main female character as much if not more than her beloved Alpha romantic heroes, she can write quite enjoyable stories.Michelle Cabot has been the apple of her father's eye, the pampered princess of his Florida cattle ranch, the spoiled heiress who goes jet setting all over the world, the coddled wife of the scion of a quasi-aristocratic American family, and the thorn in the ass of rugged, self-made rancher
2.5 Stars I kind of knew this was going to happen. It was too good to be true. Three books by Linda Howard this month and all of them ended up on my favorite shelf.I would have rated this one 5 stars too if I had read it 30 years ago (though I was way too young back then). Im sure my mom would have loved it though. In fact, the whole book felt kind of funny and outdated to me. The descriptions and dialogues were a little bit too old-fashioned for my liking. The characters' physical appearance
Sometimes a good Linda Howard novel is just what I need! There's something about her alpha males that gets to me. And John Rafferty is no exception. He's stubborn, autocratic, bossy and possessive, but once he determines that Michelle is his, he's determined to do anything to protect her. I enjoyed this book very much!Not sure where the moustache came from - this book was written in 2002 after all - but I preferred to imagine John having a slight beard / some light facial hair. I have
Original review 2010: This is another old school Howard I really enjoy. She does such a fabulous job of pulling the reader in. The first few chapters are hard to get through because the hero is so overbearing, but as the novel progresses things settle down. John is alpha to the extreme, but Michelle balances him out in a lot of ways. I didn't like how she constantly took the blame for the actions of her ex. She was strong but felt weak and it showed. It was good to see her grow stronger and
Wow, I didn't realize how old-school this one would come off. I read and enjoyed White Lies from the same series, but this one didn't work as well for me. I don't know why this one felt so dated versus the other one, but this definitely didn't feel like a Linda Howard book to me.A bit too much misogyny, and a bit too much of a TSTL heroine, oh!, and the trite lack of communication skills between characters...
