- My Review -
The Wild West, where the men and women still roam the plains looking for their partners. But something typically always messes it up and that's when it's time for them to prove their Tough Enough. As an anthology of classic romances, Tough Enough features the risks and choices that three rowdy cowboys and cowgirls take to find their love.

The Cowboy written by Jayne Ann Krentz, features a more contemporary view of the cowboy. When Margaret Lark gives up information to her boss about her boyfriend Rafe Cassidy's business deals, she gives up on a future life of love. But, when Rafe returns a year later, after relieving his flaming temper, Margaret has but one choice really: that is to stay with him. In this sweet heart wrenching book/novella, Jayne Ann Krentz weaves a winning set of characters and an interesting plot line for all cowboy turned executive lovers.

Written by Lindsay McKeena The Cougar, another almost full length book or novella, puts two enemies in a hazardous situation: should they love each other? Almost like a Romeo/Juliet situation, Jim Cunningham has loved Rachel Donovan since he was in sixth grade. The only thing that held him back then from telling her was their fathers, both enemies in the cattle industry. But when Rachel returns from England to help her sisters save the ranch, Jim has another chance, but he struggles internally. Will he give up his own namesake to tell her?

A short story, Murder at Last Chance Ranch, is a cowboy mystery that focuses around Teddi MacLane's soon to be ex-husband. Slipping in her murdered husband's blood as she walks into her house, Teddi is automatically accused of killing him by the people in her small town. And her only get out of jail card is to relying on her ex-boyfriend Sheriff Jake Rawlins.

Overall Tough Enough gives a reader three stories, placing you right into the heart of the west. And in the heart of the tough west it turns out there can be true love after all.
