When Marisa Lacoste goes to the Cascades she never expects to end up running for her life. Betrayed. Terrified. Her pursuers close behind, she scrambles along a canyon wall until she's sent hurtling downward.Left to die, she regains consciousness to find herself in a cave with a warrior whose every touch and glance signals that she belongs to him. Ukiah cares for her. Makes love to her. Conquers her with pleasure. But when a decision on her part puts Marisa back in danger, he's forced to act, to test her courage and the strength of their new relationship by showing himself for what he is—a creation of magic and belief whose spirit takes flight in the storm.
Jory has been writing since childhood and has never outgrown being a daydreamer. When she's not hunched over her computer, lost in the muse and conjuring up new heroes and heroines, she can usually be found reading, riding her horses, or hiking with her dogs.
Literally, almost ALL sex, from start to finish. Ugly wording and I marked several passages with variations of 'what does that even mean' or "how does a XXX even do that?' Far too much emphasis on male ownership and far too little female agency in evidence.
Marisa is running away from her murderous brother and his lover who are plotting to kill her. She falls off a cliff and wakes up with Ukiah, a sexy Native American who is also a Thunderbird and she's his soul mate.
Sounds strange but it actually works and the chemistry is smoking.
I liked the story but thought that it could have been expanded on more. I thought the thunderbird angle could have given alot more meat to the story and maybe a little more expansion on each of their lives and then how after the get together how it works out a little bit.
Short, quick read featuring a heroine who finds out the people closest to her are trying to kill her for money. A spiritual intervention saves her and gives her life meaning.
