Despite an extensive police investigation, the days turn into weeks and it is as if Dan has vanished into thin air. Over the next three years Annie refuses to give up hope that somewhere her son is alive and will one day return home.

THE HORSE TAMER’S CHALLENGEA Romance of the Old WestThe horse tamer’s challenge wore skirts! With his dying breath, Rebecca Susan Bennett's father had sworn her to rescue her twin sister Amy—an Indian captive—or kill her! It was an oath which would lead Rebecca into the wilds of Montana Territory in the aftermath of the Custer massacre, scouring the high plains on a search that seemed futile, at best, a journey fraught with danger and plagued by enemies—not the least of them her inner turmoil at having promised in the first place. Rebecca might find Amy—but if it came to that—could she really kill her own sister? Her twin? "You might be keeping that promise on your own death bed," was the reaction from Lucas Swallow, who had agreed to help Rebecca, but whose private, hidden agenda threw up complications at every turn. Her growing attraction to this enigmatic, mysterious man only complicated things further. Far easier to fathom the logic of a sadistic outlaw band who saw both sisters as the key to their father's legendary lost gold mine. For Lucas, bound by his honor to help if he could, Rebecca was a challenge and her plight a burden of the blood debt he couldn’t ignore. For thegently-reared Rebecca, the very land she traveled was an enemy; she hated and feared the west for its rawness, its violence. But she refused to let her fears defeat her. She began her search as an innocent idealist, a pacifist. She ended it as Une femme aux cheveux couleur du soleil couchant, qui vainct ses ennemis grâce à un fusil sans balles—Sunset woman who defeats her enemies with an empty rifle. And in the process, Rebecca found not only her sister, but herself.~~~CRITICAL ACCLAIM“The Horse Tamer’s Challenge is a gritty, gut-wrenching adventure story that stirs the imagination andsatisfies the heart.

The sexual tension that developed between Gavin and Rebecca was so hot you would have thought you were in the Mohave Desert. Cowboy Games was such a well written book by Wendi Darlin . When you think of a cowboy as well as how he should be, Gavin is that cowboy. He is sexy, knows how to handle a horse, has that great charm cowboys have about them and he fills out a pair of jeans in all the right areas. Rebecca showed that sometimes you can get lucky twice in finding the man of your dreams. Cowboy Games is filled with romance, fun, a steamy love scene and scorching cowboys. This is why I gave Cowboy Games Five Angels and the title of Recommended Read." --Cheryl, Fallen Angel Reviews. ** Outstanding Read: A "Wendi Darlin's Cowboy Games is one smokin' story. From the first page through the last she takes us on a non-stop ride of sexual tension, teasing and a whole lot of loving. The setting is Wyoming on the "Fantasy Ranch" and by the time you finish reading you'll be looking for some brochures yourself. The characters are strong and tender, stubborn and loving and all together realistic. Cowboy Games is well written, humorous, and filled with smoldering passion. The sexual tension oozes throughout and the secondary plot is strong enough to keep you on edge worrying for our hero and heroine. All things must come to an end and the week at Fantasy Ranch is no different, but we can hope that Ms. Darlin will invite us back for more experiences in the future. Squeezing itself onto my keeper shelf, I'll be looking for more of Ms. Darlin's books to read. I highly recommend you pick this one up and enjoy a little trip to the Fantasy Ranch." --Lynda, Simply Romance Reviews.** 5 Flags: "Wendi Darlin takes you on a long sexy ride with Cowboy Games. From the first page I was hooked and drawn into Rebecca's emotions. Her love for her husband and the pain of his loss was palpable. Yet she was daring too, a strong feisty heroine and one who was a joy to meet. Of course once you encounter Gavin, you can't help but fall head over heels for the gorgeous hunk of a cowboy--damn close to every woman's perfect fantasy! Cowboy Games is an incredibly steamy story. The heat between Gavin and Rebecca is scorching and I'm amazed the pages weren't smokin'. I'd lasso this book right quick and have yourself a good ole' time, just make sure you have something cold nearby to cool you off--you're gonna need it!" --Lynda, Euro-Reviews.** 4 Stars: "Cowboy Games by Wendi Darlin has a very good plot. The plot flows smoothly building up to the pinnacle of passion and love. The characters worked well together. Gavin was strong yet vulnerable. This book is filled with romance, passion, and excitement." --Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book. ** Cowboy Games is a Romance Writers of America's 2008 Linda Howard Award of Excellence WINNER, 2007 Duel on the Delta WINNER, 2007 TARA 3rd Place, and 2007 Beacon 3rd Place.
