Kurzbeschreibung

Professional Reviews:

"Extremely well-written, fast-paced and funny, Chasing Rainbows is a pot of gold from this talented, up-and-coming author. One for your keeper shelf." -- Romantic Times
Reviewers Choice Nomination: Best Western Romance of the Year

"A feisty yet vulnerable heroine who's had her share of pain and a sexy hero who pretends to have a hard heart come together in this warmly tender love story filled with perils and excitement." - Rendezvous

Chasing Rainbows:

Jake Moran, a gambler down on his luck, finds himself volunteering to escort the notorious Outlaw Annie —along with the ugliest cat he’s ever seen— to Cooperton, Colorado.

But Jake didn’t volunteer for the job out of the kindness of his heart. Wanted for murder, he figures if he sticks close to Annie she'll lead him to the Mundy Gang, his only chance of proving his innocence.

Annie insists that she’s going straight, and that the members of the Mundy Gang are dead. But circumstances conspire against her, leading them into one harrowing scrape after another. Though his heart tells him that Annie is telling the truth, almost too late he discovers his mistrust has put Annie’s life in jeopardy.

Jake was a gambler, but nothing in his life had prepared him for the final showdown as he tried to tame the wildest woman in the West.


Über den Autor

At the not-so-mature age of thirty, teminally single, and with a series of less-than-stellar relationships behind her, Victoria Lynne announced to her mother that she wanted to write a romance novel.  Silence fell between them.  Then her mother took her hand and said in a voice full of gentle concern, "Darling, don't you think you should write what you know?"

Fortunately, fate sometimes smiles on the hoplessly naive and eternally optimistic.  Victoria's books have received rave reviews, and she has twice been a finalist for the Romance Writers of America's prestigious RITA  Award.

Victoria Lynne is now happily married and lives with her husband in northern Virginia.

Terrific!! 3. August 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
If you loved the ONLY series by Elizabeth Lowell, LAST TRUE COWBOY by Kathleen Eagle and the WEDDING RAFFLE by Geralyn Dawson, you'll love Victoria Lynne's CHASING RAINBOWS. Jake Moran, a gorgeous gambler wanted out East for murder, agrees to escort Outlaw Annie to a town where he's sure he can clear his name. Annie has never trusted men too much and at first the two of them circle each other like a pair of wrestlers. But soon the trust starts - the LUST starts long before that! Annie is innocent in the ways of love but brave and fearless otherwise. Jake just never knows what hit him - he's nuts about Annie even before he can admit it to himself. I really, really enjoyed this book. If you love Romance set in the Wild, wild West - this story is for you!

Very enjoyable historical western romance 12. Juli 2006
Von Gemma - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Since the back cover description is already given on this page, I'll skip straight to my review:

This book was very enjoyable. It was my first try of Victoria Lynne's writing, and I was impressed. I like western romances, but there are just sooo many of them out there that they start to all sound the same. Not so with CHASING RAINBOWS. Victoria Lynne has breathed new life into what could have been a tired plotline with her wonderful characters.

The character were what made this story so good. I thought that they would be cliched. After all, we have the woman who dresses like man, as well as being able to ride and shoot as well as one. We have the gunslinging gambling hero who can outdraw anyone in the west. But they were all so much more than that. Lynne's characters quickly became real people as the book progressed. They were flawed, but not so overly flawed as to be unlikeable. That's a difficult feat for an author to achieve, and I applaud Lynne for a job well done.

She also gave a very good feel of frontier history without having it ever feel like a textbook. Her historical background was just that--the background. The main focus of this book was always the romance, which is just as it should be.

I also liked that lust wasn't the only thing that was drawing the hero and heroine together. Oh, they were sexually attracted to each other, all right, but there was so much more than that. They didn't just rush into bed together. They changed from adversaries to lovers so subtly that it was pure magic for the reader to watch it happen. And while there started out as adversaries, there was none of that "I hate you, come here so I can boink your brains out" nonsense that I find so distasteful in so many historical romances.

The only drawbacks to this story was that the "I love you"s were a very, very, loooooong time in coming. Instead, the author used a Big Misunderstanding to keep them apart. I generally don't like this plot device, but Lynne handled it so well that it was only a minor complaint.

I am a VERY picky reader (see my other reviews if you don't believe me), but I had no trouble finishing this book. I will be on the lookout for other books by Lynne. While I don't think CHASING RAINBOWS is a keeper book, it's still a very enjoyable read, and I do recommend it.

Oh Boy! Such Fun! 28. Dezember 2000
Von Avid Reader - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
After the 2 previous reviews, I'm not going to elaborate on this. I just want to say that recently I bought a batch of books which all received glowing 5-stars reviews but this is the only one that lives up to expectation. After so many romances and historicals, I find the plots are hackneyed and overused but it is the writing skills of the writers which make the difference between good and bad, corny or refreshing. Victoria Lynne is a terrific story-teller. It is such pleasure to read this fast-moving, funny and captivating romance.
