Susan Ross's Reviews > All I Need Is You

This was not one of my favourite Johanna Lindsey books.

Casey, aka Kid aka K.C. takes off on her parents to prove she's as good as any man and capable of running her deceased grandfather's ranch at almost 18. She becomes a bounty hunter. And she is an exceptional one. For the most part, I enjoyed her character.

Damian comes across Casey's campfire after being robbed and left for dead in his overturned carriage. He eventually decides to hire her to find his father's killer. I liked Damian too although his reluctance to dress appropriately in the West was uncharacteristically stupid on his part.

Damian thinks Casey is a boy. I wish he had found out the truth on his own instead of being told by Casey. It would have been more fun.

Even though these supposed alpha types make love after getting married against their will by an unscrupulous judge, they still don't have the nerve to confess their feelings 'til the very end of the book.

I disliked that:
- the same judge dissolved their marriage, again without consent.
- Casey keeps running away from Damian, which is extremely annoying.
- neither declares their feelings 'til the end.
-Damian's estranged mother is really not a necessary part of the story.
- the ending was very abrupt. Damian's mother could have been involved in planning the wedding. At least her presence would then mean something.
-we don't get any perspective from Casey's father, who is following her as she chases criminals.
