Book Review: 3rd In Joan Johnston's Hawk's Way Series...A Delicious Fairy Tale Romance
Summary: 5 Stars
Joan Johnston has written several series of delicious Romantic Westerns, usually revolving around the members of one family, or in some cases feuding families. Some also have added mystery or adventure, some take place over generations, beginning in the old West, but one thing is for sure, they are all wonderful romances(and most often pretty steamy as well), that will take you away for just a little while.
"The Cowboy and the Princess" is the 3rd in the Hawk's Way series. Modern day Western Romances, that begin with the Whitelaw family. Four siblings. Three big brawny brothers, and their beautiful little sister. They raised themselves after their parents death, and are a close knit and loving bunch, who may be just a bit on the wild side. The first in the series, "Honey and the Hired Hand", was about next to oldest brother Jessie and his love for "Honey". Next up was "The Rancher and the Runaway Bride", Tate the younger sister, who runs off to find love, followed by this one the story of Faron the youngest of the brothers. Faron's story unfolds into a love like a fairy tale(but not for kids!).
Faron gets the news. A letter from a woman claiming to be his step-mother. Seems Mom Whitelaw had herself a little affair, and Faron was the result. This was the first he heard that he was not a full blooded Whitelaw. He is quite upset by the news, and takes off for Wyoming to confront his horrid stepmother who says he is in the will. He's not a happy camper. While scouting across the land he is to inherit, he runs into the most gorgeous creature he has ever seen. A beautiful blonde who looks like a princess.And By the way, Faron is no slouch in the looks department as well. Johnston doesn't make us wait too long for the first scene of passion. As these two find something in each other's arms they both needed. He calls her his Princess, she calls him "Cowboy". And of course, neither knew at the time, that he was the stepson of this young and beautiful princess(Belinda Prescott), but when they do find out, the friction between them only adds more heat to their passion. They try(really hard) to stay away from each other, but Faron is there to help his father's wife fix up the ranch for sale, and it's awfully hard to keep them apart.Other new and wonderful characters are introduced that we hope to see in some future stories. Faron's new grandmother, is some fun and feisty old lady!
The story of Belinda Prescott's marriage to Faron's father, and the description of the Wyoming Ranch,"King's Castle" and it surroundings adds greatly, but the romance is one of the best. These two were made for each other, and you know it. The passion heats up. There is even a ride on horseback(with both on the same horse), that is like no other ride. The book kept me turning the pages all the way through.
Next up in the series is "The Wrangler and The Rich Girl", which is the oldest brother Garth's story. His story actually begins near the end of this one, so it's kind of a must read. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th (Rancher and the Runaway, Cowboy and the Princess, and Wrangler and the Rich Girl), all fairly short novels, may also be purchased in full in the 3 -in 1 book, "Hawk's Way Bachelors". The first one, "Honey and the Hired Hand is also included in a 3-in-1 book, called "Hawk's Way Rouges", which has 2 other stories that will follow later on.
If your looking for a little adventure, and some great romance, Joan Johnston won't let you down.
Other series are "Sisters of the Lone Star" and "The Bittercreek Series". And if you are not ready for an entire series, try some of her Historical Romance Westerns. A good one to start with is "No Longer a Stranger"
Enjoy the read...Laurie
