Book Blurb

Known for making up his own rules of right and wrong, Texas Ranger Sam "Wildcard" MacGregor takes what he wants when he wants it, especially when it comes to women. But seduction is the last thing on his mind the moment he stumbles across an Hispanic beauty crouching in fear beside a burned-out wagon. And it doesn't take long before he realizes the woman the townsfolk call "cursed" is hiding secrets too dangerous to face alone.

Isabella may look feminine and unassuming, but she's hell in a bodice with gunslinging skills to match any man's. But though she knows not to give Sam her heart as readily as she offers him her lush body, Isabella is certain she sees in Sam what he can barely glimpse in himself—a virtuous man dropped deep into a hard country bent on breaking him. A man who, under it all, craves a passionate woman willing to risk everything…

My thoughts

Sam's Creed is a wonderful read.  I loved every single page of it.  I was concerned that after reading Caine's Reckoning that the second book in the Hell's Eight series would not be as good.  I worried for nothing.  And while the theme of the first book carried through to this one it was a seperate story that I feel would stand alone nicely if a reader wanted to jump right to it.  But honestly, the first book is just as good so I'd recommend taking the time to track down book one and start at the beginning.
