I was really excited by the prospect of indulging in a little Native American historical romance, but the anticipation was not matched by the experience. I want the hours I spent reading this book back. It wasn’t completely atrocious it was just so entirely lacking in depth. I felt nothing for either character; their falling in love was too quick, followed by too much drama afterward to drag out the novel. I’ve never said this about a romance novel before, but there was way too much sex, which if I was emotionally involved with the characters or if it was written well I might have enjoyed thoroughly.

David hates being poor. Not hate-hate where he’s entirely possessed by the fact, but hating poverty enough to try to control who his sister marries. He wants her to live a better life and he knows just who to marry her to too. However Christa is not inclined toward the overweight, heavily perspiring, and twice her age wealthy man. Instead she is attracted to an Indian brave called Tall Cloud (who as this usually turns out is the Indian chief of the Suquamish tribe). They fall in love quickly and consummate their love for each other. But just because they love each other and know it does not mean the rest of the world will accept. It is one obstacle after another from kidnapping, raped younger sisters, enemy tribe attacks, death, fires, and stubborn brothers. It’s a wonder they have time at all for lovemaking, really.

Rating: 2 Stars

PS. The model on this cover is gorgeous. I think all men should grow their hair out and wear headbands with feathers on them... whew... fans face.
