[Spotlight] —Bobbi Smith's "Half-Breed's Lady"

Do you recall those risqué historical romance novels that our mothers used to read? You know, the ones with a stunning woman and a chiseled male in a passionate embrace on the cover? My mother used to have a ton of these paperbacks when I was a kid, and because I'm a bookworm, I eventually read a couple of them out of boredom. 

 
I'm deviating from my own rule of not publishing spotlights. As you might have guessed from the title of this post, I'm spotlighting Half-Breed's Lady by Bobbi Smith. It's the sixth book in the Women Ahead of Their Times series, and it also happens to have one of those risqué covers. It's evident that romance book covers have changed throughout the years, for better or worse—you decide. In my opinion, those earlier covers stand out from the mass in contrast to the more recent and uninteresting ones. Given that this blog has a significant female readership, I thought I'd offer a highlight for Half-Breed's Lady. The book is currently $2.99 on Kindle at https://amzn.to/3YPgRYh. You may read it for free on Kindle Unlimited as well. Additionally, Defiant, another book by Bobbi Smith, is available for $2.49 on Kindle at https://amzn.to/3xgqC5M.

About the Book

To artist Glynna Williams, Texas was a land of wild beauty, carved by God’s hand, untouched as yet by man’s. And the most exciting part of it was the fierce, bare-chested half-breed who saved her from a rampaging longhorn bull. Just as the untamed wilderness called to the painter in her heart, Hunt’s mesmerizing eyes touched the woman in her.

As she spent the days sketching his magnificent body, she dreamed of spending the nights in his strong arms. Glynna knew the paintings she’d done of his Comanche people would guarantee her success as a Western artist, but would she ever succeed in capturing Hunt’s wary heart? He’d been trapped and wounded before by a white woman. Now only the gentle bonds of love could make Glynna the…Half-Breed’s Lady.

Read an Excerpt

Glynna hadn’t meant to forget the stage driver’s warning to stay close, but as she roamed away from the road, sketchbook in hand, she became more and more entranced with the beauty of the wilderness surrounding her. Her creativity was urging her on. This landscape was why she’d come to Texas.

She wasn’t sure how far she’d wandered from the stage when a vista unfolded before her that left her enthralled. Low-growing mesquites and cedars provided the perfect frame for the view of a distant mesa. It rose tall and powerful against the horizon, its colors vivid in the brilliance of the afternoon sun. Sitting down on a rock nearby, she never let her gaze shift from the view.

She worked for some time, trying to capture the essence of the wild, untamed land. Her concentration was such that she didn’t hear the rustling in the brush nearby. She was focused only on her work. It was the man’s shout that jarred her back to awareness of where she was, and it was then that she saw him. A bare-chested warrior, leaning low over his horse’s neck, riding straight for her. The expression on his face was savage, and she was sure his intent was equally frightening. He looked deadly, fierce, and it was then she remembered the stage driver’s warning that renegades might be in the area. Frantic, she looked around, trying to decide where to run. Desperate to escape, she tried to flee. It was then that a strong arm snared her around the waist and hauled her roughly up against him.
