The first book in popular Western Romance author, Linda Warren’s Belles of Texas series, CAITLYN’S PRIZE, is a wild emotional ride worth taking.

Upon the death of her father, Caitlyn Belle returns to the family home to Texas to find her ex-fiancĂ©, Judd Calhoun, on the brink of taking over the Belle family ranch. After Caitlyn jilted Judd fourteen years ago before their wedding, Judd is eager for a little payback and now that her father’s gambling debts have forced him into an arrangement with Judd, it appears that he just might get that long awaited payback.

Linda Warren has gifted Harlequin Super Romances with another heart wrenchingly beautiful western romance in CAITLYN’S PRIZE. This reader admits that it has been some time since she has picked up a Harlequin book and forgot how emotional these wonderful books can be. Caitlyn is a strong and determined heroine. She thinks Judd only wants to marry her to control the ranch. Judd can’t believe Caitlyn hasn’t come to her senses and come back to marry him. Judd is stubborn and somewhat emotionally stinted. Their courtship may be rocky, but it is also definitely heated. CAITLYN’S PRIZE is one wild ride of romance.

Although readers know these two will eventually get their happy ending, the emotional journey Caitlyn and Judd must travel to get there is both painful and sweet at the same time. If you are in the mood for an old fashioned two-hanky western romance, then Linda Warren’s CAITLYN’S PRIZE is most definitely the book for you.
