Skylar's Outlaw
Linda Warren
Harlequin SuperRomance, Jan 2010, $5.50
ISBN: 9780373716104
The youngest of the three Belle sisters, Skylar wants the family ranch foreman Cooper “Red” Yates fired. She asks her siblings Caitlyn and Madison to back her, but they say no as he is needed to save the spread. They also wonder if her persistence has less to do with his competency or as Sky claims his being an ex convict who she feels unsafe for her and her four year old daughter Kira, who suffers from juvenile rheumatoid artists, to have around; instead they believe she fears her attraction to their foreman.
Obstinate Sky vows to work with Red, who is uncomfortable with his boss lady because of her attitude towards him for a crime ironically he did not commit. However when Kira vanishes at the same her affluent paternal grandparents arrive to take the child away with them as they have the money and her reputation as a wild one to back their claim. Red shows his true value as he leads the search for his boss lady’s daughter although by doing so he violates his probation, which if found out means returning to prison.
The third Belles of Texas contemporary ranch romance (see Caitlyn’s Prize And Madison’s Children) is a delightful tale as the “wild” sister proves to be a domestic lioness protecting her cub. The hero is courageous as he knows he will be caught violating the terms of his probation and returned to jail, but rescuing the little girl he loves as his own is paramount. Linda Warren is three for three with this family driven drama.
