I had not finished reading Richmond P. Hobson Jr's first book, "Grass Beyond the Mountains" before I ordered his second in the series, "Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy." And then I could hardly wait until the last in the series arrived, "the Rancher Takes a Wife."I was disappointed when I finished this book. I'm an underliner and margin note writer in most of my books. While I participated in a real cattle drive and branding while living in Sheridan, WY, riding my own horse, I do not have the courage and commitment, the inner strength to live the life that the real people in these books did.Throughout this book, I kept waiting for his new bride, Gloria, to say "I've had it. It's me or this ranch!" Wow, did my admiration of this woman rise to super heights as I saw her skin turn white from frost bite, was surprised time and again by her fabulous positive attitude, but wanted to scream at her during the occasions when she almost got them killed. When she faced eight Grizzlies alone, my heart rate was higher than it is when I exercise on our Recumbent exerciser. She had an awesome sense of humor.It's almost impossible for me to rank a top choice from among all these three books! They are just fantastic! Well written, but with a down-home manner of describing impossible situations that had the hair standing up on the back of my neck.
