This book is a very hard read. There are harsh scenes that you rarely see. It's difficult to shock me, but I found my jaw dropped numerous times. The author was fantastic. It was very well written and put together. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because there was so little positive to offset all the horrible things that happened and because it's LONG. Definitely worth the read, though, if you have the stomach. ...more

Loved it! LOVED IT!!! Pure unadulterated entertainment from THE Rosemary Rogers. This is what I call a fulfilling read baby! This book has it all - great writing, brilliant plot, adventure+romance with the perfect amount of wtf factor, but let's get straight to the point. My favourite thing about this book is the current owner of my heart - Steve Morgan. Aaaah what do I say about my dearest Esteban...? What I really liked about his character is how he remained a jerk till the end of the book lol ...more

I loved this book. The way that Rosemary Rogers discribed the wagon train and how hard it was I found to feel realistic. I loved that it wasnt done in three pages.Steve and Ginny had a love/hate realationship through most of the book,though at the begining it was mostly hate. It was fun to watch the sparks fly when ever those two got together.
