The Hawk and the Dove

Saga of the Southwest #1

by Leigh Franklin James

THE HAWK. Wild and free, the sole survivor of a brutal massacre, John Cooper Baines lives by his wits as he treks across the unclaimed wilderness. Brought to manhood in an Indian village, he moves on to New Mexico -- a turbulent land ravaged by bandits and stamped by the legacy of aristocratic Spain.

AND THE DOVE. Headstrong and beautiful, the daughter of an exiled Spanish nobleman, Catarina is torn by warring passions, haunted by a vibrant dream. Only a man who can tame the savage land can subdue her defiant heart. Together they will live the glorious beginnings of a dynasty as proud as royal Spain, as reckless and bold as fronter America.

[Deb · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the first book of this series enough to read about 4 of them before I gave up because they just weren't as good as the Wagons West or White Indian Series, which weren't as good as John Jakes Kent Family series.

Loved depth of characters; real, flawed, tragic and multidimensional. My American history (now completed through 3 of series) Is now embedded in my realities. And still reading.
