Tears Of The Renegade (Famous Firsts #4) 
I liked this more than I thought I would, and that is entirely because of Susan.I started out really disliking her combination of fragility and sanctimonious use of the word "morals." Cord wasn't a favorite either. But Susan was a fighter. She followed through on what she thought was right, and grasped life where she could. I ended up admiring her a lot. It was also apparent that others around her saw the same qualities the whole time.I have always agreed with Blair Mallory: walk out, crawl
Heroine bugged the ever living shit out of me. Linda Howard - humour = rubbish

The renegade H was quite an obnoxious fella and the serene genteel h made me feel like whacking her on the head a few times. This book had more fillers filling it than a self-respecting LH book ever should! The hs thought processes were as unstoppable and repetitive as a tail-chasing dog. I like a h who knows her mind and heart, and does some guy-chasing especially a cool customer like her but something was very off with it all. For one, her one sided devotion was more sexual obsession than love
Old-school romance by Linda Howard, with an alpha hero bent on revenge and a heroine doing her best to stand up to him.Corporate wars, family feuds and natural disasters tear the couple apart and bring them together.(view spoiler)[The heroine ends up losing more than anyone else by the time everything's said and done, but she's in love with the hero and he loves her in turn so I guess her forgiveness is inevitable (hide spoiler)].I'm not a huge fan of Linda Howard's earliest books, but I'm on a
This is the first book I read by this author and I am understanding, from other reviews, that she gets better with time. I understand that this is her first book so I gave her two stars instead of one because it has to be incredibly hard to write a full book for the first time. Lord knows I never have, so who I am to judge I guess...anyway, this book was just not for me. I made myself finish it but now I wish I hadn't. Let me save you some time and tell you about this book in a few sentences.
Hunh???Basic Premise: Cord Blackstone is the black sheep of the Blackstone family. (Got enough "black" in there for ya?)Susan Blackstone is the widow of his cousin and she's graceful and demure (hmmm. I sense a theme) and kind of a massive wuss. I don't have a damn clue where the title came from, by the way. Why do I feel like that title should go on a Native American story?This is not one of Howard's best. First, I am not enamored of Susan.

I didn't see the end coming. Like the poor heroine, I was clueless throughout. Good for you Ms. Howard!I love early contemporaries by Linda Howard. They are such train-wrecks! (But in a good way.) And so freaking hot! I don't know how she does it but the chemistry is usually off the charts.Cord is the black sheep of the Blackstone family and Susan is his cousin's widow. They meet when he returns to the fold, looking for revenge for the way he had been treated as a youth. There's a lot of enmityI liked this more than I thought I would, and that is entirely because of Susan.I started out really disliking her combination of fragility and sanctimonious use of the word "morals."
