Search - Nate (Devils on Horseback, Bk 1)

This book was just not that good. The relationship between the H/h was not very well developed. I think the author was too busy in this book trying to give descriptions of the other Devils on Horseback for her upcoming books, and lost focus on writing a good story.

Never in a million years did I think I would read a Western H/R. But I had heard about Beth Williamson and that her stories were good, and not just erotica, I thought heck why not.

I was surprised just how much I like "Nate" who is one of a band of 5 ex-confederate soldier gone to Texas to make new lives after the war, and shake off the dogged pursuit of an obsessed Union Officer they had apparently pissed off.

The plot isn't all that different from any Western movie, baddies trying to take the ranch away from a pretty filly with a crippled father and little brother. But I like the characters enough that the thin plot didn't bother me. It was more a story of how these two who began on opposite sides of the conflict would get through it.
