Narration In Pursuance Of Books The Mackenzie Family (Mackenzie Family #3-3.5)

I am a huge fan of Linda Howard, and many years back I had read her books about the Mackenzie family. I have been kind of angry with the romance genre lately so I thought it was time to go back to the basics for a bit! "Mackenzie's Heroes" has been popping up recently in paperback at the grocery store and I just couldn't resist downloading it on my Kindle. This book contains two of the stories from the Mackenzie family series.

"Mackenzie's Pleasure" is the first story, and it features Zane Mackenzie and Barrie Lovejoy. This is my favorite story out of the two of them. Basically, Zane is a Navy Seal who is sent to rescue the Ambassador's daughter. Barrie was taken by some enemies, and she is a prisoner in Lybia. Of course, she is frightened and humiliated by her captors; but Zane comes in and saves the day. They are immediately drawn to each other, and considering the unique circumstances of their meeting; they end up falling in love very quickly...What they share is very intense, especially during some very scary times. I loved the chemistry with this couple, and even though it was an insta-love situation with them, I could totally find it believable because of the way they were brought together.

"Mackenzie's Magic" is the second story and it features: Maris Mackenzie (the only daughter out of all the Mackenzie men) and Alex MacNeil. Now this story I found to be less exciting and not as convincing with their immediate love for one another. First of all, the story begins with Maris not knowing how she ended up in bed with a handsome stranger. Slowly we are shown who Alex is and how they met etc... Maris is a horse trainer, and there is a mystery surrounding a horse, and also why she has a bump on her head, and why Alex is in bed with her! It all ties together; but for me I just found their insta love very unrealistic and distracting to me. My emotional investment into the couple just wasn't the same as I had with the first story. I dropped a star on my rating because of this story. Just not my favorite in the series.

All in all though, a great read; and it proves to me why I love Linda Howards writing and her heroes! To me, this is what romance is all about...Falling in love, and watching the sparks fly between the couple...No arguing, or sleeping around on each other...This is how it should be!

Column Appertaining To Books The Mackenzie Family (Mackenzie Family #3-3.5)

In most cases Insta-love is undesirable in a story, but Linda Howard is the queen. She knows how to do it perfectly and make the reader believe it. The heat sizzles between her characters. Lots of action makes these stories very entertaining reads. The men are oh-so-masculine but easily tamed by women who aren't afraid to stand up to them.

This was out years ago? has it been greatly expanded or something?

GoodHoward draws us in right from the beginning and keeps you so you want to read on. I've been soaking up all her books. I love that she deals with every area of life in her books!

Personally, I think I would've liked to have read these two as separate stories. Both were good reads, but I think would've been better as separate ones, especially the second one about Maris.

I love the Mackenzie family. ..Zane and Barrie's story sizzles and Maris' is too rushed! I wish there's more sizzling scenes and while Nick is cute, certain scenes were a bit dragged out and contrived like how she throws petals along the aisle. ..

2 books in one (book 3&4), enjoyable, but short. A little confusing because I read the book 1 (Wolf and Mary who are the mother and father of 5 children and 1 adopted) and it seemed they skipped a few children and just gave their history at the beginning of book 3. I would have liked to hear their stories as well.

Classic Linda HowardReading these again after 10+ years, they have stood up to the years. The Mackenzie story's are my favorites of Linda Howard. Great to have them available on kindle now.
