widow in charge. The woman had to be a gold digger—so
why couldn't Clint stop thinking about her?
Tess Morgan-Hayworth couldn't sit by and watch the ranch be destroyed. It was
the only place she'd ever felt safe. So she would have to face up to this stubborn,
hardheaded, gorgeous Texan, and tame him….
But Tess wasn't sure she could hold out against the sexy cowboy for long!
Romantic
Times Magazine's KISS (Knight in Shining Silver) Hero
for March.
"It's a delight to
see Charlene Sands' stubborn cowboy Clint Hayworth
brought down to size in Taming the Texan."
"With its realistic
backdrop and appealing characters, Sands lightweight
western is a charmer that harkens back to the early
days of the combination Wild West and Americana romance."

Romance Reviews Today
RENEGADE WIFE is such a refreshing heartfelt
love story to read. The characters are vibrant and well crafted.
Molly is a spitfire who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She
is passionate about everything she says, does, and feels.
It is her forthright manner which helps her overcome some
of Kane’s more stubborn and mulish qualities. Kane, is a man
any woman would want. He is rough around the edges, but once
polished by love, he shines. He is obstinate, and refuses
to give Molly any entrance into his heart. Their dialogue
is witty, and their passion is electrifying.
The writing style of Ms. Sands is refreshing
and so well done that readers will not only read Kane and
Molly’s story, but they will feel it. The characters are lively
and the settings beautifully described. Secondary characters
are just as well written as Kane and Molly and are an added
delight.
For a Western romance that will leave you
smiling, be sure to read RENEGADE WIFE.
