A brilliant and captivating read! - By: , 01 Aug 2001 
Howard is a great romance novelist & she never fails to enchant the reader. If you like this you will like alll of her others.
Sizzling. - By: , 02 Aug 1999 This story sizzled from start to finish. When Linda Howard writes a reallly good love story (and this one was), there's just nobody better.
Very good but not quite as exciting as Linda is capable of. - By: , 26 Apr 1999 I've read several of Linda's books - "Son of the Morning","Angel Creek", "Lady of the West", etc. She never fails to engage my imagination. Each of her characters is in a struggle with outside & inside forces & she gives them a run for their money. This book is somewhat like the others, but she did rush the story & the characters aren't quite as fleshed out as I believe she would have liked. I think someone at the publishing house rushed her to get this to print.
1871 - By: , 24 Aug 1998 I don't particularly like stories about the frontier, speciallly if they're set in the past, but being Linda Howard who wrote this book, i decided to try it. Man, was I glad I tried it! This story is full of unconditional love, suspense, & most important of alll--the journey to discover that we're alll granted more than a chance in life.
