Editorial Product Review:Item Description:Known for making up his own rules of right and wrong, Texas Ranger Sam 'Wildcard' MacGregor takes what he wants when he wants it, especially when it comes to women. But seduction is the last thing on his mind the moment he stumbles across an Hispanic beauty crouching in fear beside a burned-out wagon. And it doesn't take long before he realizes the woman the townsfolk call 'cursed' is hiding secrets too dangerous to face alone.
Isabella may look feminine and unassuming, but she's hell in a bodice with gunslinging skills to match any man's. But though she knows not to give Sam her heart as readily as she offers him her lush body, Isabella is certain she sees in Sam what he can barely glimpse in himself—a virtuous man dropped deep into a hard country bent on breaking him. A man who, under it all, craves a passionate woman willing to risk everything…

Hot Loving in the Desert (B Grade)
Sam's Creed is book two in the Hell's Eight series about Sam "Wildcard" MacGregor, who was first introduced in Caine's Reckoning, book one. Sam is part of Hell's Eight, a group of men who uphold the law as Texas Rangers set in Texas during the mid 1850's. This is the time of the Wild West where men used their guns proudly to defend their honor. The Hell's Eight have such a scary reputation that you do not want to mess with any of them and who they lay claim to. Sam is on a mission to find the missing sister of Desi, who is Caine's wife. Sam does find a woman but she is not the one he is looking for. He and his trusty sidekick dog, Kell, find a group of wagons that were ambushed. He doesn't think he will find another living soul since the ground is littered with dead bodies. He is wrong, because under one of these wagons, is a young Spanish woman very much alive and one who is very annoyed. Isabella is the last person alive from this wagon train heading to San Antonio where her family home is. She is on the run from Tejala, a nasty man who wants to marry Isabella because of her fortune and her nice ranch spread. Sam, being the man that he is, decides to bring Isabella safely to her family.
Isabella has a lot of sass and doesn't mine telling Sam the way to do things. She has become one of my favorite McCarty heroines because of this. Isabella is no weeping violet and will defend herself, even against Sam. Sam threatens to beat her butt too many times to could because she doesn't listen to him and if Isabella wanted to, she would bend over and allow Sam to have his way. Isabella may be a virginal little miss, but she believes the evil Tejala will get his way even with Sam protecting her. She fears she will be raped by Tejala, so, why not give up her innocence to a man like Sam? Sam would love nothing more to introduce Isabelle to sex. Sam just can't get over the fact that he is not good enough for his Spanish Duchess. Still, this doesn't stop Sam from giving Isabella some interesting foreplay, which leads to some eye popping love scenes.
If you have read Sarah's erotic westerns in the past, you know about one such act that Sam introduces Isabella to. I call it, "fun with the butt-butt", but not only does this intimacy happen out in the wide open desert, but on a horse while it is in motion! Of course there are some other straight forward intimacies that I have enjoyed between these two. The majority of them happen in a cave or as they are camping down for the night. But again, since this is the desert and with that lack of water, well, bathing is not really an option. I would say both Sam and Isabella have been traveling for a few days to a week, but that doesn't stop Sam and Isabella from having fun, which includes Sam rubbing a certain type of fluid into Isabella's skin as to mark her as his own.
Overall, I found Sam and Isabella to have nice chemistry and Isabella is a wonderful heroine who stands by her man. I would have liked to see Sam act a bit more alpha, like most of Sarah's heroes have been in the past, but Sam was quieter and more subdued which seemed to work especially as Sam tries to handle Isabelle. It was nice to see one of Sarah's heroines take control of the relationship for a change. Sarah also showed that the Wild West is a place where the townspeople don't always smile and welcome strangers with opens arms. It is a harsh vast wilderness and if two people such as Sam and Isabella can find some sort of happiness, then, more power to them.

Not for the faint of heart ~ Book Two of the HELL'S EIGHT series
I am not a western romance fan but this author has made this series a must buy for me. The harshness and danger of the old west is entwined with a very sexual love story. Sam is one of the Hell's Eight, a group of men who survived Hell and are finding a place for themselves in the wilds of Texas. He finds Bella hiding in a wagon massacre and decides to protect her from evil man who rape her and steal her home. The adventure to get Bella home is full of danger and a very SPICED up romance.
Check out the whole series; Caine's Reckoning (Hell's Eight) Book #1 in the HELL'S EIGHT series, Sam's Creed (Hell's Eight) Book Two of the HELL'S EIGHT series, TUCKER'S CLAIM, Book Three of the HELL'S EIGHT series due out April 2009 and Book four of the HELL'S EIGHT series due out December 2009.

A fun, entertaining read....
Texas Ranger, Sam "Wildcard" MacGregor was just passing through when he saw the burnt out shells of wagons. Not wanting to check but knowing he couldn't live with himself if he didn't, he moved forward to investigate. Among the carnage and wreckage, he found Isabella Montoya. She's a tiny little lady with more sass than sense and a decidedly regal air about her that made his palms itch at the thought of taming this wildcat. Isabella has been running for six months from Tejala, the man whose been trying to force her to the altar and she's just about out of steam when she meets Sam. One of the notorious Hell's Eight, Sam's not deterred by the threat of outlaws on her trail and drags her with him despite her protests. He sets off for her home, determined to reunite her with her mother and set Tejala straight. Isabella is Hell's Eight now and he wants everyone to know it.
Sam was a gorgeous hunk of man and good Lord I wouldn't kick him out of my bed for eating crackers. He was forceful and amusing and not too broody, which I liked. He was a hard man, a man forged in the Wild West and while he had his inner demons, Isabella charmed her way right into his heart. Isabella was adorably mischievous, like a wayward little kitten. I found her charming and her lilting spanish tinged accent was really cute. I really liked the way Sarah McCarty made her sound and I also thought the way Sam would gently correct her broken english to be a fun game. Bella was a sweet, brave and honorable little lady and her steadfast determination to not let Tejala get the better of her was heartening, as was Sam's cold fear at the thought of what Bella would do if she was caught. These two were an adorable couple. He was hard and she was soft and they both made each other laugh which for me, is what I want most in a book.
Their sex was hot as all get out. They have a lot of "relations" while atop their horse and while it takes a stretch of the imagination to envision what they are doing and how they are doing it, it was certainly intriguing. There is some fun lite spanking and other bits of naughtiness and like I said before, I wouldn't kick Sam out of my bed for eating crackers.
The story of this book was good, too. Isabella's ranch is in her name and only she can pass it on to the husband of her choice. Tejala is determined that that man will be him and if he has to run her down like a rabid dog, then that's what he'll do. Luckily for Isabella, Sam is Hell's Eight and that name strikes fear into the hearts of all evil doers so they think twice before taking him on and taking what is his. We get some fun characters in the ranch hands at Isabella's ranch and a fellow Hell's Eight member in Tucker. This was a fun entertaining read and I can't wait to read more in the Hell's Eight series by Sarah McCarty. Enjoy!
