Kyla Springer was on a dangerous mission. A power-hungry, greedy group called the Vigilance Union seized her property, her innocence, and took over her hometown. She was determined to win two of them back. Disguised as a boy, she rode across treacherous miles to hire a bounty hunter whose reputation was known and feared throughout the territory. It never crossed her mind that love and revenge would come to her in the same man.
Jace Rankin had just killed a murderer when a ragged kid named "Kyle" found him in an Idaho saloon. Hardened by old hurts and a solitary life, he had to be convinced to avenge the boy's enemies. But when he learned that he was really a she, his trust in the human race dropped another notch. Until he realized that his love for Kyla was so great, he'd fight her battle simply because she asked, even if it broke his heart.

I'm usually not very picky when it comes to editing issues, but when they occur this much, it's a very big problem. How can an author use words like "vituperation", but fail to use basic prepositions and conjunctions? It was beyond frustrating to have to try and fill in the blanks. I enjoy Miss Harrington's books, but this was a really big stretch for me. I think I might stop reading her books __ I have __ read like ____ again.Product details

Desperate Hearts edition by Alexis Harrington Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Another great story by this talented author. I have enjoyed reading her other stories and I look forward to more.
I will always read any book by Alexis Harrington. I have yet to find any of her novels that left me dissatisfied. I almost said, "left me wanting" but that would not be accurate. I do want...I really do want Ms. Harrington to keep on writing! Truly, she is a skillful writer, and I thoroughly enjoy her work.
I see the version is currently unavailable. I guess they pulled it to fix it (had occasional missing words, etc.). Oh, well. I was able to enjoy the story anyway. I'm an Alexis Harrington fan and I like most anything she writes. Desperate Hearts was no exception.
I thought this book, all in all, was very well written. I liked the story, the leads, and the supporting characters, too. The danger/stakes seemed real, and nothing about the plot or the writing particularly pulled me out. In fact, the love scene in the shack really got to me for some reason. I rarely re-read a scene, but that one, I did. Like four times! LOL The only thing about DH that bugged me a little was the hero's change of heart/choice at the end. It seemed a little too easy and the ending felt a little rushed. But it didn't ruin the overall experience for me. I'm still glad I read the book.
Good historical romance. 4 1/2 stars.
The story is strong, moving and beautifully written. It's an improbable (to start) love story between bounty hunter Jace Rankin and ranch owner Kyla Springer Bailey. Kyla has lost posession of her ranch, and her innocence, to her step brother Tom Hardesty. He has a thing for brutal rape as is demonstrated more than once in the book. He is a member of the corrupt Vigilance Union.
Kyla travels to find help disguised as Kyle, a snot nosed teenage boy with less than no manners. The constant changes from Kyla to Kyle are well written and realistic, as is her use of the Kyle persona whenever she feels threatened.
The love scenes are touchingly real. The adventure and danger are thrilling.
My problem was that I bought the book on . It was soooo badly transcribed to kindle format that it was hard to follow. At one point Jace was kissing Kyle instead of Kyla! Give me a break! Buy the book. Don't buy it on until they fix the mess the publisher made of it.
Desperate Hearts, is the sequel to Homeward Hearts (Topaz Historical Romances), I loved the first book and on the author's website, it promises to catch up with the hero and heroine from the first book. And it did, just in the same way as Sabrina Jeffries links her books. We meet the hero and heroine and get a glimpse of their new life and the hope to see a former close friendship which was broken to become a close and deep friendship again.
In Desperate Hearts, the hero is the bounty hunter who was after the hero of Homeward Hearts (Topaz Historical Romances). At the end of the first book, our current hero knows he has made a mistake and sets out to rectify this mistake.
He is not your average 6 foot something hero, he is small in size, 5.6". Because of his size, he was picked on by other children as well as by someone he should have been able to depend on. He first picks up a "wanted" poster, I believe only to receive the money and with that independence from his tormentor. However, he is so good at it, people began to fear him and show him the respect he had craved as a child. When his sister is murdered, he believes the word of his stepfather that her husband and his best friend is the murderer. When a deathbed confession of the stepfather recants his original testimony and his brother-in-law and former friend is released from prison, he set out to catch him; we are never sure what he intended to do when he caught up with him as in this book, he states, he clearly prefers to hand villains over to the law. After the confrontation and now believing his former brother-in-law, he sets out to find the killer. The two years, he followed his brother-in-law and the year, he was searching for the real murderer, have been the only his focus in life. He is feared and constantly challenged by those who want to best him.
The heroine catches up with our hero when he is confronting his sister's murderer. She is dresses as a lad and there are some bullies making fun of her. The hero who had expected to feel some kind of victory feeling, steps in. The heroine explains to him that she wants to hire him to help her gain her inheritance back which was stolen from. He really does not want to do it but she mentions a name, apparently the foreman on her ranch, who had been a friend of the hero. The person who stole her ranch also killed that friend.
He finally agrees but makes it clear it will be done his way or not at all and that he will first go to see his friend to give him the news about his late wife's murderer. The hero is certain that the lad has not told him the full truth and waits for the other shoe to drop. While heading to the small town where our hero believes his former brother-in-law is, they are ambushed in a store and the lad is injured. Now, our hero knows that that Kyle is actually Kyla. While he is not amused, he grudgingly respects her. When they arrive at his brother-in-law's home, where he wants the heroine to recuperate, they find it abandoned. Now the hero is forced to become close to the heroine by taking care of her. He does not want anyone to know that he is a she, as he has heard that her enemies are looking for her and for some reason also for him. Due to a nosy neighbor, they have to leave sooner than the hero wants; he wanted her to be in better shape.
As they get to know each other better, he learns the reason why she is so good in her disguise as a lad. He begins to admire her more and more but can't admit to himself that he loves her. He never knew a happy home life and feels it is way too late for him to think about one. It does not stop him of dreaming of one. The heroine, who has good reason to not trust men in general, slowly but surely falls in love with the hero and she hopes, she can make him stay once they have dealt with their enemies.
It takes another near death experience of the heroine for the hero to take a job offer which would let him stay, one he had told her previously, was not for him.
Again, the s*x scene were beautifully written, not shy, not flowery or clinical, just beautiful.
I've read a number of A. Harrington' s books before and really enjoyed them. This wasn't my favorite, but it still could have been OK. I have truly never read an e-book with more typo' s and skipped words. Some sentences - well, you just couldn't be sure of what the author meant to say. I did read to the end, though by the last few chapters I was skimming and skipping quite a bit. Sort of curious to know if the editing improved. It did not. I haven't written many reviews and I don't recall whether or not I've written any negative ones. Honestly, at least the kindle version of this book is definitely NOT worth the money.
I'm usually not very picky when it comes to editing issues, but when they occur this much, it's a very big problem. How can an author use words like "vituperation", but fail to use basic prepositions and conjunctions? It was beyond frustrating to have to try and fill in the blanks. I enjoy Miss Harrington's books, but this was a really big stretch for me. I think I might stop reading her books __ I have __ read like ____ again.
