This book really came around in the home stretch and made for a very enjoyable read. I loved Katherine, ahead of her time in her thinking, she knew what she wanted and nothing was going to keep her from getting it, er, him!...she is woman, hear her roar! Even though she adapted to the Apache lifestyle, she remained true to herself, and her courage and determination was inspiring. Gaetan, I don't even know what to say about him. Such a mystery, so tortured, so much hatred. I was annoyed with him initially, but as the author peeled back the layers of his character, showed us what evoked such strong emotion and contempt...I fell in love with him *sigh*. Gaetan was the greatest adventure in Katherine's life, and she was his salvation. A harsh, thought-provoking, beautiful love story, with a very satisfying HEA!

"The book definitely has my interest. I have an issue though with Katherine and her feelings on her family, somewhat confusing. I am heartbroken over Nilchi *sob* and having a love/hate relationship with Gaetan. Such and intriguing and tortured soul, I'm looking forward to finding out more about him. So far...thumbs up! Off to work."

"In Katherine's case...always a bride, never a bridesmaid. Poor girl. Lol."

"The first hint of a crack, and one layer is peeled away to give us a look at this complex man."

Will you write review, Karla??

Absolutely, Karla! Gaetan is not for everyone, that's for sure. I really got all emotional over this book. But I get it that not everyone can feel the same. But when I read your review you liked this book and that's enough for me. Gaetan is a difficult character. :) BTW, nice review! I hope you'll give Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold a try someday. I loved this story too and of course the characters as well!
I will do that. I know that Steffi liked that one too...I think?! Thanks again for the rec!

I'm so glad you ended up really liking this book. I've had a very busy day but I plan on finishing tonight. Wonderful review, Karla.
