"Wonderful action-packed western romance"
In the Dakota Territory, three years have passed since the
fatal barn fire killed her spouse of a few hours and left
half-breed Mathilda Morning Moon O'Brien blind and unable
to see visions. The nightmares that haunted her at first
when she realized her husband died trying to rescue her
stopped for a while, but have just returned as if the
spirits are trying to communicate with her. The new visions are more like what she used to "see" and
quite different from the immediate post fire nightmares.
In several of them Mattie observes half breed Reed
Robertson, a bounty hunter who has embraced his white side
fully. Reed has come to the area seeking to bring to
justice the surviving two murderers who killed his wife.
Though he wants to refuse to help Mattie save her family
ranch from nasty souls, Reed cannot resist her lure. As
they work together and their similar situations merge into
one case, they fall in love, but the enemy is powerful and
has killed their loved ones without regret several times
already. In her latest "White" Indian romance, Susan Edwards
provides strong medicine for her readers with a wonderful
action-packed version of the classic western theme of good
vs. bad. Mattie is an intriguing protagonist who refuses
to allow her handicap to keep her from taking care of her
siblings (her parents were murdered) while the cynical
Reed thinks the intrepid Mattie is his savior and doom.
Ms. Edwards' fans will take immense delight in what is one
of her best, if not the best, White novel and look forward
to a sibling sequel. Harriet Klausner
