Warrior's Honor

Panorama of the Old West #19

by Georgina Gentry

Torn Between Love and Duty

A warrior who values duty above all else, Talako is honor bound to recapture a runaway brave sentenced to hang for his crimes. But then he confronts the fury and determination of ebony-haired Lusa, his quarry's sister. Forced to make Lusa his captive on a perilous trek through the wilderness, he cannot deny the desire to forget his quest and lose himself in the pleasures of her lush beauty.

Trapped By Passion and Desire

Convinced Talako is hunting an innocent man, for Lusa all that matters is saving her brother, and she'll do it any way she can. Boldly, she dares to seduce her enemy with all the passionate fire raging through her blood. The last thing she expects is her own impossible need to surrender to the exquisite torment he ignites—and to a love that could bind her heart to his forever.

The heroine in this story drove me crazy. She believed her brother innocent no matter what evidence was put up against him and was very mean to the hero who was simply trying to bring her brother to justice, which was his job. She even tries to kill and hurt him him a few times, but she thinks it's okay because the only thing that matters is that her spoiled brother is not captured. The hero forgives her for all she does because he "admires her spirit and loyalty to her (obviously guilty) brother". I can't stand when a main character is so blind to reality that they refuse to see the truth despite all evidence to the contrary, especially when that character is a mean, selfish b*tch paired with a strong honorable man.

A wonderful book. Filled with fact, fiction and love.

I could not put this book down. The story is fiction but is filled with many historical facts. Talako and Koi Chito were certainly men of honor.

This was just ok. Lusa was driven by an obsession with her brother. That marred any feeling she developed for the Hero, who put up with a lot from her.
