Product Description
House of Winslow Book 15- Betsy Winslow had always thought that she never measured up to her beautiful older sister, Lanie. So Betsy was deeply flattered when a handsome stranger began showering her with attention-for once she felt beautiful and desirable. Foolishly deciding to elope, Betsy and Vic leave for Indian Territory. Envisioning a life of grandeur as a rancher's wife, she is sorely disappointed when all her dreams come crashing down. When Lanie hears the news about her sister, she is certain that something is wrong and immediately sets out to help. But Lanie discovers that the only hope of finding Betsy is a shiftless outlaw named Lobo.

 ok September 1, 2007
while i enjoyed this book as a whole, i am unclear about lobo's feelings for lainie. his ex-lover is part of a gang that is holding lainie's sister for ransom. the first reference to angela and lobo's romance is when lobo thinks "we were not in love, we used each other". then after she dies, he thinks "i loved her, did she still love me?" then when lainie asks lobo if he still loved angela, he says they had a thing, but it didni"t amount to much. i also thought his grief over angela's death was excessive. it read more he had lost the love of his life. which is it?
Great story with romance and adventure September 7, 2006
This was the first House of Winslow book I ever read, purchased from a mail-order book club unaware that it was part of a series; up until then I had only read 2 books in the Cheney Duvall, MD series by Mr. Morris and his daughter.
Like with many adventure and mystery stories, some parts of the book get a little tedious and you want the story to move along, but I enjoyed the story otherwise.
Note: This is one of several instances where Mr. Morris reuses the same plot (or subplot) more than once. Betsy is tricked into believing she's married to Vic when the phony preacher promises to fill out the license paperwork and mail it to them later; in #7 The Reluctant Bridegroom, Rebekah finds out her husband already has a wife (and later marries Sky Winslow); and in #19 The Iron Lady, Rebekah and Sky's granddaughter Priscilla makes the exact same mistake! But if you don't mind repetitive plots, you won't mind those similarities.
 Another thrilling House of Winslow book! August 3, 2000

Lanie sets out to with one mission: To find her sister and rescue her from a man that they had once trusted. But, Lanie never expected to find love in the process. And that's exactly what happens, even though it takes her and Lobo a bit of time to realize it. She still so worried about her sister that she doesn't think she has time to worry about herself and her well being. Go with her through a rough territory and dangerous journey. I found this book adventurous and exciting with a wonderful plot set in the late 19th century!

Gilbert Morris presents a fascinating plot line and well-developed characters in The Gallant Outlaw. When Zachary Winslow's daughter, Betsy, elopes with a charming rouge, Lanie, her older sister, determines to rescue her. Lanie's attempts fail until she meets Lobo Smith, a one-eyed gunman with a shady past. Lanie purchases Lobo's help, but troubles still plauge her. Is Lobo really an honorable man under his outlaw facade? Can she rescue her sister before it's too late?
