Miranda Cameron does NOT want to leave America and head to London to look for a husband, but she has no choice! Her sisters push her into doing it and so does her chaperone, after a long discussion on how she need to forget the Shawnee Warrior Alex Haddon (her first and only love) Miranda packs up and off she goes...never thinking that her path with cross with Alex's.
Alex Haddon hasn't seen Miranda Cameron is over 10 years and he never thought to see her in London looking for a HUSBAND! Al More...

Rare DNF (did not finish) book for me. I read the beginning and the end but felt no urge to read the middle. This is one of those cases where I should have followed my instincts. The second book in the series is the one that intrigues me but I had to start with the first book, much to my dismay.
Not sure what it was that didn't appeal unfortunately so I can't really tell others why they might want to stay away. I think part of it was the unlikelihood that a girl from America could snag a Duk More...

If I never believed in true love before, after reading this book I so do now!
It was heartbreaking, it was sexy, it was so damn touching that I wanted to cry. The hero and heroine are almost annoying with their usual stubborn stereotypes: "We're not what's best for each other...blah blah!" Finally, they realize how empty their lives would be without each other!
I loved the ending! It was so romantic and so dashing! The heroine jilts a powerful duke in this book to be with her More...

3 1/2 stars.
My timing in reading this one was great! I had just read Temptation of a Proper Governess a few days earlier in which Alex is a character. I would definitely recommend that people read that book first as it features Alex's business partner and his (now) wife - both of whom we see a lot of in this book.

I really felt for these two. Miranda and Alex have loved each other it seems their entire lives. as American frontier women, and Alex as an Indian, it was a love not destined to be.
However Alex leaves his Indian lifestyle to join the "white" lifestyle and ends up doing very well for himself. I wasn't not a lust or desire that turned into love, it was a connection so powerful that the only result was those two coming together.

Oh, the doing and undoing. She rejects him, then changes her mind. He rejects her, then changes his mind. Lather, rinse, repeat. He sails away then comes back. Then sails away and comes back. Everyone's against them, then everyone's for them. On and on, ad nauseum. I felt some for the characters, who were in a truly difficult situation, but the book overall was repetitive and tiresome.

Decent plot. Not everything in this book has a happy ending. You have to read the next book to get some partial results I guess (and then the next, and the next). Leaves a lot of characters in chaos....which leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Frustrating, but I'm glad I read it.

This book was recommended by my aunt. I liked it, but for some reason, I couldn't relate to the characters. As a result, I can only say that I liked it. Solid, fun read.

Good solid Cathy Maxwell HR.
I wish we saw a little more depth to The Duke of Colster I really liked him just wished he got more page time. Looks like he may be the Hero in the next book.
I LOVED the pledge the H/H took when they were younger and how the repeated the words in Shawnee. Sweet ending!

I stumbled across this author on the Chicago Public Library website, and have really enjoyed her work. Tight plotting, interesting characters, lots of lovin'. I take issue with the complete disregard of the consequences that screwing over a powerful peer would have on one's shipping business.
