The Apache killed American soldiers but the white men also hunted the Apache mercilessly - even killing defenceless women.
I appreciated that both sides of the war were depicted. They were literally driven away from their land and herded into reservations - which were little better than detention camps. The focus of the story is the relationship between Katherine and Gaetan but I can't help but reflect on how much light it shed on the status quo during that period of history where the Apache were hunted by both the Mexicans and the Americans. Even more heartbraking is the story of racial discrimination and the harsh conditions suffered by the less fortunate people - in this case the Apache people. Review 2: Inter-racial romances always makes my heart ache because it is so unjust and cruel that something as stupid and insignificant as ethnicity should become an obstacle to two people finding happiness together. I don't know how accurate any of the historical parts were but they were believable and well written. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical romance or westerns. I enjoyed the book cover to cover the first time but when I read it again I stop about halfway through because the rest of the book is kind of boring and not worth reading once you know the outcome. I must admit though, about halfway through the book the story is less exciting and seems to become a narrative of the sad plight of the Native Americans. The villains are well written and the conflicts, both in relationships and hardships ring true and believable. more life if she wants to escape the Mexican militia.
The problem with the warrior's brother is that he hates her and she must force herself into his. When attacked by Mexican militia an unexpected turn leaves Katherine choosing between the nasty band of officers and the dangerous brother of her kind warrior. He is kind and she wisely recognizes that the threat in the group is his older brother. When captured by Apaches she has the sense to go along with them even when an English-speaking warrior announces that she will be his wife.
The main character, Katherine, is stubborn and strong but smart you can't help but like her. The beginning is fast-paced and keeps you on your toes. This is one of my favorites and I've read it several times. Review 1: I generally read paranormal romance but also enjoy a good wild-west story now and again.
