Product Description:
Zack Rawlins didn't become the youngest president of the Bandera County Cattlemen's Association by backing down from a challenge. So when beautiful but hot-tempered sheepherder Bailey McShane barged into the cattlemen's saloon and accused them of stealing precious water from her land, he waded into the fray...and came out in a heap of trouble. With drought-stricken Bandera County on the brink of a range war, no self-respecting cattleman would be caught dead
taking sides with a woman who raises sheep--but Zack can't stay away from this pint-size wildcat. Now he's facing two dangerous battles: one with a town full
of stubborn ranchers at one another's throats; the other with an unpredictable woman who refuses to be tamed.

Amazon.com Review:
Readers were all raves when Susan Krinard burst on the scene with Prince of Wolves. Then she wrote the wonderful Prince of Dreams and guaranteed herself a legion of fans. This is her first time-travel and you won't be disappointed! As always, Susan plays with the familiar and makes it original. A deathbed promise sends Mac to Guatemala where she hopes to dispel a family curse. At the ruins in Tikkal she is transported back into time, where she must depend on her ancestor's enemy and former partner, Liam O'Shea, for aid. Liam proves to be the definition of refined masculinity and more than a savior to Mac.

- Best Susan Krinard to date....
I've read multiple Susan Krinard novels, and this is my favorite. While it travels in time, it's not so caught up in "Timely dialogue" that can be confusing to the present day reader. The hero is strong, though a chauvinist, but that's not unexpected. The heroine is strong and funny. This book touched my heart and popped it's way right into the top favorites of time travel. Doesn't quite beat Knight in Shining Armour, but it is pretty good!

- Time travel romance
MacKenzie Rose Sinclair (Mac) had promised her grandfather that she would return to the Guatemalan jungles of Tikal to return a Mayan pendant belonging to her great great grandfather Peregrine Sinclair. For her grandfather, Homer, believes that Peregrine betrayed his friend and partner Liam O Shea by abandoning him in the jungle. Homer believes that their family have been cursed by Liam and that the only way to break the curse was to return the pendant to the jungle.

After Homer passes away, Mac keeps her promise and travels to Tikal, the Mayan ruins in Guatemala. She finds herself walking into a tunnel deep in the jungles and comes across a set of bones with a similar pendant hanging around its neck. She takes the two pendants and suddenly feels unwell, feeling queasy and the ground beneath her feet disappearing. The next thing she knows when walking out of the tunnel she bumps into man who looks very ... Read More

- misleading cover
The title twice a hero really refers to Mac- (Mackenzie), the heroine of the novel- not the hero. I found this a refreshing change.
She time travels back in time- not only meets a man, but has to matchmake her number of times great grandparents to each other!
Also there is danger- someone wants to kill the man she loves. Unfortunely he thinks it her numerous time great grandfather who is trying to kill him, and he intends to marry her numerous times great grandmother.
I gave the book only three stars even though the plot was great because the book draged in places and the writing could have been somewhat better.

- Good to read
I like time travel story and as well as romantic adventure. This book is for someone like me. I like the first part of book better than the second part in which the background setting changes. But I thoroughly enjoy the book. Hero is tough guy who protect woman whom he care. And heroin is not so typical innocent weak romance book character. If you want something more strong, intense, hot romantic adventure, you'd better check Linda Howard's " Heart of Fire". That is even better.

Though it's not the best of this genre, it's worth of try.
