    About this ebook

    For the first time in her life she was facing a man she couldn't handle. He knew the white man's ways—and every woman's secrets. . . . 

    Boston heiress Blaze Braddock, known more for her daring than her discretion, had insisted on trying to persuade the mysterious Absarokee Indian to sell his land claim to her father. But the moment she felt the impact of his tall, rangy body, the heat of his seductive dark eyes, and the drugging warmth that stole through her sense at his skilled touch, she knew she'd been more than reckless to put herself in his hands.

    Jon Hazard Black was no savage barbarian but the Harvard-educated son of an Absarokee chief. He knew the value of his land; the gold that ran beneath it would be the salvation of his people. And not even this dangerously tempting beauty could convince him to sell. Held captive by a man who was her sworn enemy, Blaze was swept up in a storm of passions she had never imagined—possessed by a man who vowed he would keep forever what was his. . . .

    Susan Johnson

    Susan Johnson moved to Flagstaff in 1989 with her family and enjoys poking around old cemeteries and buildings during her time off from working as an RN. After her husband passed, she started a historic haunted history tour that, with a great deal of help from her son, endures today. She became even more deeply engrossed in the Walkup family story while researching for the tours. She lives in her adopted town with two corgis, many friends and acquaintances and a son, who pops in and out.

      2.4 starsThis read probably/exactly how you would expect a bodice ripper of 1986 to. The hero is banging everyone (but not the heroine's mom this time!) in beginning, he alpha af but also pretty dang sensitive/loving to heroine's needs, the heroine is a virgin but this time she takes her agency in both hands and shoves it at the hero until he bangs her, there is adventure, but the Absarokee tribe (hero) was actually shown in a culturally sensitive light and seems to be fairly well researched, thee drama with relationship Betrayal (misunderstandings forced), and the start of an epic family dynasty.You can start to see the cringe elements from '70s & '80s bodice rippers falling away and the '90s heroine emerging. Adventure in the west (modern day Montana), epic leads, villains being villainous, annoyingly forced that made the story feel dragged out Misunderstanding, and, wait for it, FOOTNOTES. I love footnotes, especially historical ones, in historical romance because I'm a geek. Bodice ripper lite, an interesting story in regards to it's transitional feel.
    • 5/5
      While I love this book there are times I wish I could go through and get rid of the details. Ms Johnson does her homework about the era and place she is writing about, going so far as to add footnotes to the story. This story is set in the post Civil War West more specifically the territory of Montana. This is a story of one man's attempt to save his people from extinction. Along the way he falls for a Boston debutante that is head strong and intelligent. Blaze is more than a match for Hazard Black. There isn't any of the more explicit language that is part of today's storytelling but Ms. Johnson can still write some intense and steamy love scenes. There are plenty of those scenes scattered through the story. There is also a look into the day to day life of the a Mountain Crow clan.
