Overall, this author did a good job of bridging a romance between two cultures in Texas just after the Civil War. Description is alive in this book, sprinkled with well woven tidbits of life both at the farm where Loretta lived with her aunt and cousin and in the Comanche village. Also, while I appreciated the author's honesty in not glossing over some of the language, this may bother some readers. To me an honest effort was made to keep the story tr ...more

This book was everything I expected, and then some. Very emotional and thought-provoking.

Tortured hero and heroine... a dramatic subplot (which will be covered I assume in the next in the series), kidnapping, war, near death experiences...

Loretta sees her families killed by the Comanche and as a result has lost the use of her voice. Hunter's wife is killed by "white men" and as a result he is bitter and fighting for h ...more

An Excellent and well written Western Historical Romance. This 'genre' of Romance is not currently in vogue which is a shame. Sadly, many wish to forget or do not wish to acknowledge the 'American West' of the 19th Century. Not PC, different social mores, VIOLENCE? Not a time for 'navel gazers' or those in denial with the true nature of humans. I guess this one is for 'mature audiences' only. ...more
