Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-04 00:00:00 Lee Vy At the beginning of this book, Maggie Shayne wrote of her reluctance to write a western themed book. I'm so very glad she was convinced otherwise. This book gives you the first three stories of the Texas Brand family. Garrett, Jessie and Wes. I was hooked with the first story, and each one after just got better. If you want to meet some awesome characters, be captivated by their antics and strength of family bond, and ride with them as they face their own crisis and challenges, then this is the series for you. I'm off to find the rest of the stories. This is a keeper. Worthy of reading more than once.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-22 00:00:00 Martin Becker I really like the Brand family. They are down to earth people with interesting lives. This book introduces us to the first three (a sister and two brothers) of the family living on the family ranch in Texas. The first brother, Garrett, finds himself with a baby that's supposed to be his but it isn't true, so who's baby is it and why. The baby's true aunt shows up righteously accusing and then the fun begins. The sister, Jessica, finds herself interested in a man involved with Garrett's baby problem; but which side is he really on good or bad. Once that problem is resolved; it becomes does he really want to be interested in Jessica or is he just in lust. Next there's Wes, who's actually a half brother having a Native American mother who had become with the Brand father not knowing he was a married man. Wes is coming to terms with his heritage having been raised by the Brands with not much interaction with his Native American relatives. Now he's supposed to help an old shaman save some land that the reservation wants to sell for the money it can make them. The shaman wants the land saved as it is sacred to him. And there's a twist to that story too. These stories were interesting enough to make me want to find more of the stories written by the author about the Texas Brands.
