Lora Leigh is a wonder woman when it comes to writing stories. She has a way of putting pen to paper and writing out a story. It evolves to the stories we have here.COWBOY AND THE CAPTIVE—Book 1 started off with literally a bang. Melina's twin sister is ruining her life by making people believe she is Melina and tearing apart her life and her family’s. Maria nearly got Lucas Jardin/Luc killed in the shoot-out two years ago and now he is back for revenge. Melina took the blame for that shoot out.  Now her father is trying to get her accept the blame for something her sister did again but Melina swore she never would accept blame for something her sister did again, especially after she almost died last time. Joe, Malina's brother gets wind of his parents plan and comes up with an alternative plan to save his sister’s life. Joe became friends with Luc after that first incident with Maria went down so Joe uses Luc's hatred of Maria to save Melina’s life. He doesn’t bother to tell him who is actually saving. Luc kidnaps Melina and that’s when the fireworks really get going. The chemistry between Melina and Luc is instant. You can tell Luc isn’t too sure what is going on but he can tell something is off, different. The romance is brewing and Melina has always had a soft spot for Luc. She has loved him and her despair over what her parents and her twin sister, over what they were doing and did to her really is terribly sad. This was a great story and I loved the outcome. I don’t want to give too much away but there is some fantastic action. The ending was full of twists and turns. My rating: 4.9 starsCOWBOY AND THE THIEF- Book 2 is the story of Luc’s friend Jack. We met him in book 1. This is the story of how he met his Angel. Part of this story takes place in Ireland and has a bit of Irish folklore. Jack is a bit of a rouge and Angel is somewhat priggish but how they meet and fall in love is the beauty of this story. It involves this necklace and Angel’s family history. I enjoyed the story and the only thing was I wished there was some follow up of how they were doing as a couple.. overall it was a good story.  My rating : 4.5 stars

    Two Stories, I Liked the First One Better
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2017*

This is an anthology of two separate novellas that have overlapping characters although the stories are separate.COWBOY AND THE CAPTIVE: Melina is the "good" twin who is constantly seeking her parents approval in the face of their preference for the "bad" twin who is always in trouble. Now Melina has been kidnapped by Luc Jardin who is seeking revenge against Melina's twin -- and doesn't realize that Melina is not her.This is a very sexy story. I enjoyed the relationship between the main characters, but I have to admit the story of Melina being intimidated to taking punishment in place of her sister is a thin story in a modern context. I also was a bit annoyed with Luc in his continued willful ignorance of Melina's identity.  I wish he had had to grovel more for his treatment of Melina. But this was a quick and easy read.Rating: 3.5 stars.COWBOY AND THE THIEFAngel Manning is furious when the family heirloom that is supposed to lead her to the man for her is sold by her father to Jack Riley. She is determined to get back what is her destiny and certainly has no intention on becoming attached to a playboy like Jack. She's been that way before and knows to protect her heart.This story felt a bit disjointed and I never really became attached to the characters. For me, I felt there was something missing in their interaction and not enough drama. I didn't feel the emotional connection and even the sexual tension wasn't that exciting. I certainly didn't think that this book was as good as the first in this anthology.Rating: 2 stars.NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in order to provide a review. I was not required to write a review or to write a positive review. All opinions contained herein are my own.
