After the War Between the States, Cyrus Bergeron returned to Paris, Texas, hoping to hide the pain--and the scars--of his service. He settled into his new place as Sheriff of Paris, quietly keeping the peace in the small town. Roxanne Robinette was a beautiful young lady--ripe and ready for marriage. Convinced that she would find true love, Roxanne was delighted and a little frightened by the arrival of the beautifully written letters, all proclaiming love for her! Who could be their author? She suspected the sultry Calvin Newberry, the new sheriff's deputy who had caught the eye of every lady in town. But was it too much for Roxanne to dream that behind the handsome face and virile body was the heart of man she could spend her life with.... Roxanne was too young to realize that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is....

Linda Jones pens another masterpiece!
30 Jan 2000
By Julie Shininger
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
...Cyrus' struggles with his memories of the war and recurring nightmares, combined with his honesty and code of justice, endeared him to this reviewer. He cannot express his love for Roxanne due to his feelings of guilt over her husband's death as well as the belief that his scarred face could only remind her of the war and the pain she has suffered. When she sets her cap for his bumbling deputy, Cyrus rushes in as matchmaker, believing Calvin will help Roxanne heal her wounded heart.
Ms. Jones has written yet another heartwarming story, this time in the tradition of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. Set in 1868 Texas, this story combines an unforgettable hero and heroine, colorful secondary characters and plenty of sparkling wit to leave the reader smiling for days. Well worth a trip to the bookstore for this one!

Love Cyrano de Bergerac? You Will Absolutely ADORE THIS!!
7 Sep 2001
By Gretchen
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was introduced to the CYRANO DEBERGERAC story about 25 years ago by my father, as this was one of His favorite stories growing up... Ever since that time, I have noticed that almost every TV show has at least 1 episode {the main one that I truly remember is from "DIFF'RENT STROKES"} which borrows this absolutely wonderful story... That being said, I am {needless to say} a total sucker for anything resembling the CYRANO/ROXANE saga. --- :) --- When I first saw this book, I saw "ROXANNE" and I was 99.44% sure that this was going to be a re-telling of the Cyrano de Bergerac tale: YIPPEE!!
Does the fact that I have !TWO! copies of this book say anything?
LOVE YOUR BOOKS, LINDA!
YOU HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!!
KEEP ON MAKING ME LAUGH OUT LOUD, PLEASE!!
