Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: I reread "Only Mine" last night and was once again surprised by how much I enjoyed the book. Wolfe and Jessi loved each other from the very beginning of the story. The problem was that Jessi trapped Wolfe into marrying her to get away from England and a forced marriage arranged by her guardians. Most of the book is about how Wolfe tries to force Jessi into getting an annulment, not understanding why she claims to need him so much. Jessica was a woman who was still haunted by a childhood that had left her emotionally scarred. Her struggles to fight back her demons and withstand the scorn of the man she loved were described so well that I almost felt like I was her. Lowell's amazing talent made this book a memorable romance novel with two very strong characters. "Only Mine" also has Caleb Black, Willow, Reno, and Whip, which made it even better. I would recommend that anyone who likes Lowell read the entire "Only" series, because all of the books are wonderful.

Summary: Only Mine
Comment: I found the book to be a fun read. Though I became frustrated with the characters at times I found the book to be believable for the time period. Wolfe and Jessi were both people haunted by a past that life dealt them. It's understandable why his mother named him what she did because she knew the life he would have because of his heritage or lack of heritage being an illegitamate child. It is understandable that Wolfe hated aristocracy and that Jessi had no idea what a real marriage was about, since that type of society is very plastic and polished so that thing are not always as they seem. I could truely feel Wolfes pain as an outcast and a boy growing up without the guidiance of his father. I truely did fall in love with Wolfe. I also loved Jessi because she was so strong and determined to learn and to be a good wife and because she was so honest.

Summary: Good Ole Western Fun
Comment: This novel was my favorite from the Only series. The character of Wolfe was pretty compelling, and Jessi's reticence was believable though a bit overdone at times.
Another reason why I liked this novel best was because of the fact that Wolfe's character was the most consistent throughout the series. Reno and Whip were really fun, easy-going flirts and jokers in the other books (especially in Only Mine), but as soon as each respective character took the starring role they became all moody and emotionally traumatized. The worst case of Jeckyll-Hyde syndrome I've ever read about.
This is not really a criticism, but why do all the men in the Only series have the exact same moves? It's like they all got together and shared sex tips. A tad creepy. Perhaps Lowell should imagine some new sex scenarios.
One final observation, aside from Jessi, all the female leads seem too similar. Scenarios are the same - accusations of harlotry later revealed to be false, and so on. If it weren't for the different physical descriptions, I probably couldn't correctly differentiate the characters if given paragraphs about their personalities.
