MY TRUE AND TENDER LOVE

by Jill Gregory ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 1985

More lust in the dust--as super-wench Byrony Hill (The Wayward Heart, 1982) settles down to ecstatic married life with super-hunk Texas Jim Logan on his ranch near ye olde Fort Worth. (He calls her ""little tenderfoot"" and takes her ""to dizzying heights of pleasure, driving her upward in delicious scaring spirals,"" etc.) There's even more ecstasy once Bryony gets pregnant. But then, when Bryony's stubborn feistiness leads to an accident/miscarriage, Jim cruelly spurns her--refusing forgiveness, dallying with a hussy, substituting quasi-rape for dizzying heights (when Bryony tries to titillate him into forgiveness). So Bryony rides off alone into the sunset--only to be captured by a nomadic Indian tribe; she reluctantly becomes an honorary squaw, learning to like her captors; but then the Indians are slaughtered by the hideous Chester brothers, ""low-down hombres"" who just happen to be Texas Jim's sworn enemies! Worse yet, Bryony now has amnesia--so foul Frank Chester tricks her into believing that she's his wife!! And she won't recover her senses till real-husband Jim (now forgiving and repentant) kidnaps Bryony, re-seduces her, and eliminates the Chesters in a long-delayed showdown. Soggy prose and soft-core porn in the Old West, bottom-of-the-barrel even by genre standards.
