Can you be too perfect? It's a question that Will would answer in the affirmative. His too beautiful face has caused him much grief and it appears, no pun intended, that it will continue to do so as he moves to Dunmore, Texas to begin a new life. Every woman he meets sets her cap for him, except the one who interests him, Idalou Ellsworth. She seems to be virtually immune to his charms; she has too many problems with someone trying to take over her ranch and feuds going on among locals to be concerned with romance. Yet, she does need love, and Will is the man to give it to her, he can settle the issues making life interesting in the negative sense of the word.
*** Mr. Greenwood's long-time fans will not be disappointed in this last cowboy story. Will's problems offer us a unique perspective on beauty, one that most of us would not consider. ***

2: delightful historical romance
In 1886, Will Haskins arrives in Dunmore, Texas to buy a bull from Idalou Ellsworth as he plans to start a ranch. However, the usually fiery Idalou is stunned into silence when she sees how beautiful Will is. However, the bull is missing so Will reluctantly agrees to help her and her brother get the critter back from her neighbor Jordan McGloughlin though Idalou's sibling would prefer his daughter instead.
Before he can blink and get the dazed Idalou to say coherent sentences, Will has become the temporary sheriff of the town. All the ladies in town think he is a hunk and those not married see him as an ideal spouse. However, he wants Idalou, but first must stop whoever is trying to destroy the Ellsworth siblings in what looks like a land grab from McGloughlin before his beloved does something dangerous on her own.
Few authors if any can bring to life a late nineteenth century cowboy romance like Leigh Greenwood consistently does. His latest Texas tale starts with a terrific opening as the in your face Idalou is stoned silent when her eyes see Will for the first time, a condition no one who knows this wild termagant has ever seen before. The amusing story line is a combination of the taming of the no longer shrew and the hunk who adores her even more than her bull. TEXAS TENDER is a delightful historical romance with a touch of suspense that is clearly a Greenwood branded winner.
