Apache Sunset
When Katherine Carpenter was wounded after a fall from her horse she was found and care for by a magnificent Indian warrior. She felt drawn to him like a bee to honey. His lean muscular frame called out to he, begging to be touched and explored. Although he spoke no English his eyes mirrored her own desire... She knew they were meant for each other.
Swift Arrow was drawn to the white woman he found lying unconscious in the snow. He knew it was wrong to take her but knew they were meant to be lovers. He knew she would not survive without his help so soothed his conscious with that thought and made a vow that he would be the only man in her life.

Apache Sunset
The characters were well developed! There was action and historical references to balance the romance! I felt their love as it developed! The plight of the Native Americans was clearly shown! Thank you for providing a great love story! I’ve read the previous books in this quartet. Keep writing this genre!

What a heart-rending story!! I loved Swifed Arrow and Katherine was the right woman for him. She's brave and courageous. So sad that the white man has taken their land, their rights and their lives!!

I enjoyed it.
Nicely done. Impressive visuals. Likeable characters. Exciting adventure. Its amusing that a child who grew up on John Wayne movie's now is rooting for the Indian. It was a rough life and I easily realized it was a life not many today could survive. We are a weak, spoiled race of people and could definitely not endure the hardships of this time period.
