The Hardest Ride

I have never read anything by this Author. I kinda guess on what i think will be good. I found this book well written. Yes there was a little, old school talking or language. But, this book keep my interest from beginning to end. I went ahead and ordered the next book.

I bought this book as a gift for my dad's birthday. He said it was a good read.

This is a enjoyable western told in the first person. The story is fast paced with some chapters that are cliffhangers. There is a cinematic quality to the writing, particularly with the actions scenes that take place. The author's writing gives you a vivid picture of the territory where the story takes place in Texas and Mexico, and he can get quite detailed without bogging down the story. The dialogue between characters is enjoyable.

Excellent Rottman follow on book.

No pussyfooting in this work. After a slightly slow start, the author delivers one punch after another. This is a raw, unrelenting and unforgiving, but odd, in a good way, story. In spite of the fact there is one light kiss and no sex between the two main characters, Bud and Marta, it is probably one of the best, if not the best, love story I’ve ever read. The author presents a straightforward, brutal and vivid look at realistic characters and the violent and dangerous era of ranching life along the Mexican border in the late 1800s. The vast, harsh and lonesome Texas territory is woven through the story as almost another character. There is graphic violence and some may find the moral choices made by some of the characters objectionable, but they were acceptable and normal n that day and time. I would give this book more than five stars if I could.

I loved the rugged western romance !
