To Marry a Texas Outlaw (Men of Legend #3)
by
Linda Broday
I have waited a long time to be able to read Luke’s story
and what an exciting story it is. If you have read the other men of legends
than you know Luke is kind of the black sheep of the family. He was born on the
other side of the blanket because his mother was taken away from his father and
his father married another. Growing up thinking his father never wanted his
mother or him only to find out his father never knew of him. There is a lot of
background that is in the first two books. This is a standalone and you do not
need to read the other books in the series to know what happened in the past
the author fills you in not leaving anything out. This book takes off with Luke
trying to find the man who framed him for murder only to find a team of horses,
a lady tied to a tree and the men who tied her. Ms. Broday covers a lot of
issues here the most important is family. Luke won’t let his family help him or
take the blame he is proud and stands up for what he has done. He doesn’t
understand what love means and why people would try to protect him. He is about
to learn a very important lesson in this area. What you will find between these pages is one
exciting read full of adventure, mystery, romance, love, danger, heart stopping
moments and so much more.
Josie doesn’t know who she is after being hit in the head
she has lost her memory. Once being saved by Luke and understanding he won’t
hurt her she has nowhere to go and no home to go to. This is a woman who isn’t
lady like at all but stands her ground willing to fight and her mouthy ways would
make a saloon girl blush. She is full of fire, has a tempter like no one you
have ever seen. She throws sparks from her eyes that would bring most men to
their knees. On meeting Luke is throw for a loop good lord this women can
curse, she sure didn’t come from a fantasy home. Her outlook on life, her
tempter and the fire that is inside of her is part of her charm. She is a
mystery and one he plans on working out. Their first meeting has Luke helping a
wild cat. its hair, teeth and eyeballs as he tries his best to calm her down.
Lord have mercy what a women, a true spit fire after his own heart.
Every time they start working on her memory or what they
should do something or someone gets in their way. Luke seems to pick up strays
like most girls pick flowers. He may be an outlaw wanted for his crimes but he
has a heart of gold for women, children and animals. These are the things that
truly bring this story to life and wraps your heart around the pages of this
book taking you back in time when men knew how to be gentle and strong. They
knew how to fight and keep what is theirs why giving back and working the land
to make a home. Luke does have another side to him that is wild, dangerous and
wicked. He can kill in a blink of an eye and isn’t afraid shoot first and ask
questions later. There is only one things he is afraid of and that is to love
and let someone in.
The attraction really comes off them from the start as they
butt heads together time and time again. Both demand and neither willing to
step back. Both are strong and proud but so kind hearted and loving. I laughed
and chuckled my way through as Josie stole my heart with her wild ways and her
helping hands. There are a lot of touch and goes along with a few heart
stopping moments when you find yourself talking to the characters. There were
times I found myself cheering and others times when my eyes got watery. There
are a few shocks in store for the reader as things take place and other times
when you would just like to shake Luke because he has too much pride. You find
a story of what love and family truly mean and a whole nether world out there that
wants in with wonderful characters who aren’t willing to bend until one little
lady with a bad tempter shows them the way. The ending had my heart in my throat
with tears ready to fall as the author takes you on one tailspin after another.
It also makes you laugh at how Josie lays down the law to one very sick man.
I love these characters as I am sure you will. Noah is such
a dear and said things that will make you laugh. Stoker is one proud pa who
really loves his kids and will do what is needed to keep them safe. I really
loved to visit with past characters seeing what is new. Lara and her charming
daughter from the last book will always be my favorite it was so nice to see
them again. This is one author that
knows how to tie you in knots keeping you on the edge and making your smile
through it all. She gives you death and heartbreak as the west is known for
with plot that pulls you in. I couldn’t put this down and had to know what was
going to happen next. I just love the men of legend each one took a piece of my
heart as I closed the book and let the meaning of their story sink in. I wonder if this is the end or will there be a
spinoff of the ladies in the hideout wanting a place to call home?
