This first comprehensive biography of Charles M. Russell examines the colorful life and times of Montana's famed Cowboy Artist. Born to an affluent St. Louis family in 1864, young Russell read thrilling tales of the West and filled sketchbooks with imagined frontier scenes. At sixteen he left home and headed west to become a cowboy. In Montana Territory he consorted with cowpunchers, Indians, preachers, saloon keepers, and prostitutes, while celebrating the waning American frontier's glory days in some 4,000 paintings, watercolors, drawings, and sculptures. Before his death in 1926, Russell saw the world change dramatically, and the West he loved passed into legend. By then he was revered as one of the country's ranking Western artist with works displayed in the finest galleries, his romantic vision of the Old West forever shaping our own.

Taliaferro reveals the man behind the myth in his multifaceted complexity: extraordinarily gifted, self-effacing, charming, mischievous, and playful, a friend to rough frontier denizens and Hollywood stars alike. The author also explores Russell's controversial partnership with his fiery young wife, Nancy, whose ambition and business savvy helped establish Russell as one of America's most popular artists.

it’s interesting
Format: Kindle
Don’t get me wrong the story was decent enough that I finished it in less than 24 hours. My problem is that there isn’t much of any content to it. No plot, not really any romantic plot either. It’s just very hastily crafted and thrown together in a book.

Amazing start
Format: Paperback
Dark and delicious this is an amazing start to this duet featuring Vogue and her guys. Vogue is a KA FMC who I am definitely rooting for. Her guys are all protective and lovable. With the ease that Vogue fell into her role and with her guys I am so excited to see how it evolves.

Decent read
Format: Kindle
Normally I just give stars and very few times do I review in words. I like the book. I like the FMC. I just think there should have been a bit more build up? Storytelling? Its just a wee bit disjointed on so many levels. This girl is smart. But cant throw a punch? Especially from the bad area she lived in? She's too calm about everything in my opinion and definitely something is just off. This needed more writing out. More explanation. More something that wasn't there in my opinion.. again. Besides that I felt like it had a good story line if not a bit disjointed.

A street Smart, Book smart driven FMC? Sign me up
Format: Paperback
This was a non stop read for me. Vogue is a FMC that you fall in love with as soon as the story starts. She has worked her behind off to get into Crestmont University and she is not about to roll over and let anyone take what she has coming to her from her! She is not only book smart but street smart as well which helps her out a lot! Especially with Callum, Quentin, Thayer and Harrison. She is totally willing to take charge and take care of her business. I am so glad that the 2nd book is being released at the same time because I know I could not wait to read it. I swear This book will keep you guessing and not wanting to put it down at all! Loved this duet! Eve Newton really honestly did it yet again!
