Review: "A rollicking adventure of romance and True Grit."

/
5 stars! "A rollicking adventure of romance and True Grit. Alison Bruce has crafted a steamy tale of the old West that takes us out of the ordinary and into a rollicking world of romance and adventure. As a young woman who masquerades as a boy, the plucky Marly's identity is finally revealed as she finds true love with stand-up dude Texas Ranger Jase Strachan.

This is an historical Western romance in a style that reminds me of Hemingway. Although the descriptions are colorful and accurate, there are no wasted words here as the characters are developed through dialogue and action. The old West comes to life! Highly recommended."

--K. McKinnon, Amazon reviewer

UNDER A TEXAS STAR by Alison Bruce is available in ebook and trade paperback editions from Amazon and Smashwords (more retailers coming soon)
