I read a Reviewers review : Defy Not the Heart by Johanna Lindsay so in turn it bought me back to. Linda Howard’s Angel Creek I read the book but feel head over heels in *love* with the audio version.
With Ms. Howard’s story >*Angel Creek*< it pulled me in. I was there I had emotions & feelings that interact with those that were involved in the Read. This story fed my cravings for what my taste called for. a delicacy that’s became mine own acquired taste on my tongue. The kind of love & passion my heart does yearn.
I think she has a pleasing & tasty way through her work of feeding U some good stick ta ya rib cuisine. I like to call it filet mignon with potatoes whereby the same token having U huger for a moiré..! Dee/heroine in Angel Creek for she was a spit fiery woman
she didn’t apolized about it, her passion shine & burn through her witch eyes it drawed in any red-blooded virile man too, but there was a soft vulnerable side to her.
For I can truly can say it’s not a good feeling to bury a parent U see I unexpectedly found my Mother dead it was an ordeal I never thought I’d face.(2 yrs now) This kind of pain hurts way down to the bone it's not one U gets over easy or could be taken likely.
.Maybe if Ms.Howard would gave more food for though in word upon the Romance pages would it really allow the Reader to see into the heart of the Heroine?
Most average people can read about certain tragedies but does it penetrate the Readers heart?
Does it deeply touch them or it Only effect them if it's someone they care about?
Another author that work that does penetrate ones heart deeply is Catherine Anderson. She rocked it out with *Annie's Song*..wowweee U felt Annie's pain) I think Dee needed the healing power of Love as well.
Dee didn’t have time to lie down & die. That inner strength she may have inherited sprang upward like an endless fountain. Yes indeed,she's a Woman I consider of great substance. Dee definitely was an independent trying to single handedly holds the fort down.
I consider Dee a strong willed breed woman ,as was the Hero Lucas Cochran all alpha breed. Dee character is what I truly L@@k for a special kind of traits that's apart of the DNA one of my favorite heroines DNA carries.In so being qualifies her to be.. A full fledge Sheroooo!
With that being said the book Defy Not the Heart seems to have similarities as well…hmmmm.
I found Dee to be the most endearing Heroine.
She was that diamond in the rough.
Literally speaking ((giggle)) given because of the setting or Western era.
During that time I encountered folk to be superstitious, I thought some thought that there was a mysterious aura that surround the heroine, a striking young woman with the witch green eyes but I thought she in all her way exudes that personification; an undiscovered Jewel that was looked over, belittled or pushed aside & not appreciated for neither her beauty nor her great value. From head to toe all around, a living breathing liberated Woman.
It makes me think about others/heroines of her nature back then where they were who they were or were R they...helloo Romance Writers out there.
Frankly speaking I am in utterly orgasmic Awe, when I read about such great women of this time. U dag blasted blue blazzin’ Right by all means, it’s safe to say my interest & appetite is peaked Evidently on my part being a hopeless Romantic I for one always crave want to feed this insatiable huger for more Reads especially of such heroine greats !
In a time when...helloooooo women did not have a voice!
I’ am honored Time after time when I lovingly go back reread Angel Creek especially“Sarah’s Child” my forever Love**It’s with the utmost greatest of pleasure to revisit these 2 considering there R a lot of Ms.Howard I’m gifted to enjoy for my reading pleasure thereby I have the Right moreless the privilege to my choosing .
A colorful array of a humongous amount of Fabulous Reads to pick from past, present time even now!
Dee one of my many, many favorite heroines to choose from collection of Linda Howard’s greats.
Dee is one of those amazing women to behold also of her time with unique strengths &gianamorous courage ta boot! In my opinion it would not have matter if her Happy Ever After ended with her bare foot & pregnant included a house filled with kids.nope, no Dee paid her dues earned her right pound for pound in flesh the weight in Gold her blood.
Rightly soooo deserving with any Woman I can see in Past & Present time NOW has every right to follow their dreams, life’s love & passion. Go for it let it do what it do!I Felt extremely deeply touched by her life situation within her story.
I saw her harsh labored sweat& ever single tear shed also she cried down through the years.
Even though Dee doesnt wear her heart on her sleeves (some probably would have called her a whiner or spineless woman.) I dont know why but it seems in society it's still a taboo for a woman to complain about how she feels..hmmm..women R human too!
Within the book I felt comprehend that proverbial image of the pink elephant with poke-a-dots pass by ever so often to let me know it was awful for Dee..sigh*
I saw did as I would see other women as well as me Free spirits whether by my own choosing in the world.
If she decided to become or was a sheep herder or started her on Circus I’d be cheering her on ‘U go for it sister friend cause she’s one of my most favorites of heroine, my Shero!
Lastly I loved Lucas Cochran the hero a hard lovin’ & powerful passionate man. Now that’s my kinda man. Much kudos to Linda Howard for killin’ the pages.
ANGEL CREEK is superbly tight Read whether it’s Audio or regular Book form! I most definitely by all means would buy another historical Read I cherish my Death Angel Audio*sigh* thankQ Ms. Howard!

Linda Howard places you in the wilds of old Colorado and turns up the heat. Her men are alpha and her women are willing. She offers a nice contrasting storyline that brings together two couples meant for each other. The prideful and headstrong Lucas and Dee clash to a powerful and heartwrenching climax. The proper Olivia having her head turned by the handsom drifter Luis, who is willing to slowly guide her to heights of ecstasy. Extremely satisfying read!
Linda Howard is my favorite author. this book is one of her "Wild West" books. While I like her contemporary stories better, this one is still worth the read.
"Home is where her heart is....Desire--and danger---come like a wildfire"
Ever since her father died,beautiful Dee Swann has held on to Angel Creek valley.She has vowed that no one else will ever own the homestead....or her.Then Lucas Cochran returns to Colorado.In the drought-cursed high country,he needs Angel Creek and its cool water to turn his Double C ranch into the cattle dynasty he craves.His ruthless ambition guarntees he will fight to take it.
Good read.
New York Times bestselling author, Howard, brings breathtaking frontier Colorado to life in a suspenseful story of the lengts one man and woman will go to for land...and love.
One of Linda Howard's best love story about how Dee Swann holds onto Angel Creek even knowing that it stood between her and the man she loves, Lucas Cochran, who desperately needs the water from her homestead for his cattle. Their passion and trust will be tested before their love could be claimed. I really enjoyed this wonderful story.
Loved this story!
Ever since her father died, beautiful Dee Swann has held on to Angel Creek valley. She has vowed that no one else will ever own the homestead...or her. Then Lucas Cochran returns to Colorado. In the drought-cursed high country, he needs Angel Creek and its cool water to turn his Double C ranch into the cattle dynasty he craves. His ruthless ambition guarantees he will fight to take it.
The passion that blazes when Dee and Lucas met shocks them both. Unbidden, unexpected, their kisses sweep them toward a dangerous destiny where dreams might be shattered...men might be killed... or love might be born as wild and unfettered as the glorious frontier.
