A Lady of the West
by Linda Howard
2.5 stars
A Lady of the West is first and foremost a tale of revenge. Jake and his younger brother Ben want to avenge the murder of their parents and retake their ranch by force. Their parents' murderer is living in their home and he has just taken a new young wife, Victoria, who brought her cousin and younger sister with her. Their arrival puts a wrench in Jake and Ben's revenge plans.
There are two romances happening here: Victoria and Jake and Ben and Emma (Victoria's cousin). I was not convinced with how quickly Victoria fell in love with Jake. I was also not happy with Jake's eventual treatment of Victoria...I was actually shocked that he struck her. WTF was Linda Howard thinking?? It ruined everything!
I continued reading because I was very invested in Ben and Emma. Theirs was a slow burn romance with so much chemistry. I really wish there was more focus on them. They were the best couple and they made this book tolerable enough to read until the end.
There was also a third romance...until it ended in tragedy. Again...WTF was Linda Howard thinking??
