Trail Blazers #3
The Trapper
Freed from her gilded cage
The daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Eleanor Hart is an artist who longs to capture in paint the raw power of the vanishing West. To do so, she agrees to her father’s conditions: He will fund the painting expedition if she agrees to marry a man of his choosing upon her return.
Her guide, rugged Cherokee trapper Troy Price, is impressed by Eleanor's pluck, but on their journey he transforms her longing for fame into a new yearning for freedom, adventure and a forbidden passion.
Troy knows that he will never find acceptance in her privileged world, but despite all reason, he can't resist loving her, even knowing that her father—and her promise to return—await.

The Tracker was an excellent western historical romance that delivers a great story, a passionate romance with intensity and emotional connection between its characters, and exciting adventure. This is my fourth book by Jenna Kernan, and she hasn't let me down yet. She takes me back to the 19th century, when the American West was still young, and where a man or a woman proves his or her mettle against the unforgiving wilderness, and the dark heart of humanity of all colors and creeds.
What stands out in this romance was its hero, Troy. Troy Price is a man of mixed blood. His mother was of the proud Cherokee people, one of the five civilized tribes. They lived next to whites and held similar beliefs, but when gold is found in the ground beneath their land, they were uprooted and forced on the Trail of Tears. Even though Troy's father was a white man (Irish), he was deemed not good enough for his young lover, Rachel. Since the tragic end of their love affair, Troy has sworn to stay away from white women. He couldn't bear being rejected again, or causing the despair that loving an Indian would bring to her. I loved Troy, for the man he was. He was a mover and a shaker, and a man of deep integrity. I loved his ability to survive in the wild, and his way of looking deep inside a person and seeing not who they seemed to be, but who they were at their heart. Many times, I told Eleanor if she thought she wasn't good enough for Troy, I'd be happy to take him off her hands! Troy was definitely my kind of hero!
When he shows up at the docks to pick up his latest group of scientists for a tour up the Yellowstone, he sees a beautiful, elegant white lady who is the only one of the group to survive a Cholera outbreak. He refuses to take her, until she questions his honor. No man likes having his honor questioned. And for a half-breed with little to his name, his honor is his prized possession. He reluctantly takes on the redheaded greenhorn, who knows about as much about surviving in the wilderness as he does of navigating the ballrooms and parlors of Boston. Troy is convinced that Eleanor Hart will come to her senses when she gets a small taste of frontier life, but she proves to have more mettle than he expected.
Eleanor comes off as being very ignorant and closed-minded. She has lived in a smaller world than she realized, raised by bigots and social snobs who know only about power and status. Her parents' loveless marriage and procession of lovers is the model for what she can expect for the marriage she agreed to contract in exchange for this trip out West to paint wildlife. She really doesn't want that future, but how can she go back on her word? I never disliked Eleanor, who Troy calls Lena, even though she makes some very thoughtless, prejudiced comments to Troy, pouring salt into his wounds about being treated like less than a man because of his Cherokee blood. I could see she wasn't a bad person, just a person who had no real understanding of what makes a man or woman honorable or worthwhile. It's not race or heritage, or about money or status. It's about integrity and grit. This trip shows her exactly what she needs to learn. She did frustrate me as she continued to hold on to her ideas about the rightness of the society she was raised in. However, I could see that Troy and this trip out West had awakened the woman she was meant to be, and I cheered her on.
This novel touched me on an emotional level, and I also loved the action and adventure as Troy and Lena face life in the wilderness. The ending had me on the edge of my seat, and I hoped that Troy and Lena would fight for each other, and the life they could have together. I knew that being together on their own terms (not society's) was the right choice for both, but they had to come to that conclusion for themselves. And Kernan doesn't take it easy on the reader as you see just how painful that choice will be for Lena (and in ways I didn't imagine initially).
Because this book gave me pretty much what I wanted in a book when I read it, I am rating it 4.5/5.0 stars.

THE TRAPPER by Jenna Kernan encourages my future pleasure reading. Her Trail Blazers Western Historical series is exactly what I love. Pioneers making their way through tough territories, trying to dodge the rough characters intent on their failure.
Read this review in full color at my blog, TheZestQuest.com.
Why was this book in Dorine’s TBR? I read Turner’s Woman in October 2020 for last year’s TBR Challenge, and failed to get my review written and posted (I remedied this today). After finding the review unpublished in my archives, I realized it was Wendy’s Unusual Historical picks post from May of 2020 that got me started on this series. After reading it, I bought several more in the series. That’s because they all looked like promising historical wilderness stories – my absolute fave. I’m especially fond of trapper/scout heroes, so this one was an easy yes in my shopping cart.
I’m not very good at tracking fairytale themes for our reading challenge. The only one I usually recognize, and is a favorite, is Beauty and the Beast. I can’t even cheat and say I chose THE TRAPPER because it represents one of those themes. The main reason I chose it is because the page count was doable in a small amount of time and I was desperate for some pleasure reading I’d enjoy on vacation. This was the perfect choice.
I have sadly begun to wonder if my reading/reviewing days are over. Nothing interests me, and if it does, it takes me months to read it. This book proved to me that there’s nothing wrong with my reading/reviewing mojo – I just need to find the right books!
Is the book flawless? For me, almost. What landed it in the “almost” category was the number of spelling and/or grammar errors. I have an annoying internal editor who grumbles through books needing an edit. Even my Miss Cranky Pants couldn’t whine enough to make me stop reading this story. I love Jenna Kernan’s talent for historical western romance that much. TURNER’S WOMAN had the same problems and I thoroughly enjoyed it. That says a lot that I’m willing to buy books with noticeable errors in them. That means I really love this author’s style.
Am I an English expert? No, and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of oopsies in my reviews. But, in a published book I expect perfection – those errors jar my reading and make me pause. I sometimes wonder what they meant to say if it isn’t clear. Enough mistakes and I want to toss the book at the wall. Even though this book didn’t have that many errors to make me want to toss it, it had enough that I had to take some points off my rating for the imperfections, because that’s how I review. I consider quality of a book all-encompassing – grammar included.
Typical of Native American fiction, there are the expected stereotypes within THE TRAPPER, such as threats of capture by warriors. Also, the hero refers to himself as a half-breed Cherokee scout and he falls for two different white women in two different circumstances. This grieves him in his relationship with this heroine, even as friends. His family lived peacefully among whites for a very long time (a theme I love), so it’s not unusual he’d be attracted. But he has valid reasons to fear involvement with this one.
Also, our heroine realizes her family, as well as herself, are racist in some of their ways of looking at those different from themselves. She learns a lot about Native American culture, which helps point out things we should consider from history. From her curiosity, I learned something about the hierarchy of the tribe and women’s roles that I found very interesting.
Troy Price is a Native American guide who discovers that the party of scientists he’s leading in an expedition to Yellowstone Valley have died of cholera before he meets them. All except one. The problem? She’s a woman and a fancy one at that.
Miss Eleanor Hart, only daughter of the well-respected Harts – one of the wealthiest families in America, is anxious to paint wildlife in hope of winning the interest of James Audubon. She is also enamored with her Indian scout, made famous by fictional dime novels about his exploits. She knows everything about him from those novels. Or so she believes.
Troy and Lena make a magical pair. She looks elegant on the outside, but Troy soon learns she’s tougher than she appears. One of the things I loved most was reading about Lena’s painting talent and Troy’s admiration for it. Her magic with a paint brush gets them attention and trouble, which is easy to predict, but oh-so-enjoyable to read.
The more I think about this book, I realize that it could be considered a reverse Cinderella theme. Troy is broke and in desperate need of this expedition. Trapping no longer brings in a reliable income. Lena is rich and pampered, but falls in love with a man her family won’t approve. Will Troy consider life with a rich girl, whatever her terms?
After reading the first two chapters of Book 4, HIGH PLAINS BRIDE, at the end of THE TRAPPER, I can’t wait to see if three is a charm in my experience with this series. I skipped book two, WINTER WOMAN, so you know it will be placed on the TBR soon.
In the end, THE TRAPPER contained all my favorite themes – a Native American hero, dime novels, Yellowstone, a resourceful heroine with an artistic talent, Audubon, and enough nasty villains to send them on an adventure into the wilderness that tests their love for one another. I needed a good book to get me out of my reading rut and THE TRAPPER met all my desires.

2.5 stars. Spoiled rich girl has half-Cherokee Indian guide her up the Missouri river so she can paint wildlife. The heroine was spoiled, insensitive and only came to her senses once she thought the hero was dead. The hero of the book was awesome however and is the only thing that kept this from being a wallbanger.
April 23, 2012
I liked this historical romance that showed struggles on the American frontier but too much of the story was spent on the impossibility of a relationship between a rich pampered white female and poor rugged half-breed male. Artist Eleanor convinces half Cherokee Troy to guide her through wilderness so she can paint wild animals.
October 14, 2011
Awww! It was so amazing! A one of a kind story! So glad for once the girl is such a strong character, even though she doubted things.

Enjoyed....not as spoiled as one would assume. Put on her 'big girl' pants and mustered!

Historical Romance
1840 Yellowstone Valley
Eleanor Hart is the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. She is also an artist that longs to capture in paint the raw power of the vanishing West. She is also getting a chance to be freed from her gilded cage. For that to happen she must agree to her father’s conditions. He will fund the painting expedition on the condition she agrees to marry a man of her father’s choosing when she returns.
Troy Price is a rugged Cherokee trapper that is also her guide. He is impressed with Eleanor’s spunk. As they journey father along, he transforms her longing for fame into a yearning for a forbidden passion, freedom and adventure. Even though Troy knows that her father and her promise wait for her return he can’t help loving her. He also knows that he will never be accepted into her world of privilege.
This is story that takes the reader on an amazing journey. It keeps twisting and turning and will have the reader loath to put the book down until they finish it. The characters bring the era to life for the reader and will have them thinking about it long after they finish the book. This brings the series to a very nice close. It also shows another part of the west that proves to be very interesting.

Not my favourite
Not my favourite of Jenna Kernan, but still entertaining. I did find the character of the father over the top, plus the plot where Eleanor allows herself to go solo on the expedition without informing her family. However, the story revolved around this scenario .
Socialite Eleanor Hart has promised her father that she will marry whomever he chooses if she can have time away painting wildlife in the West. An outbreak of cholera on board ship means that she is the only survivor of the expedition, but carries on with her guide Troy Price, half white, half indian.

Lena is a force to be reckoned with...
Another page-turner that I found difficult to put down. This book is a great escape for a few days.
Really enjoyed the banter and tension between Lena and Tory. Two characters that keep the reader guessing throughout the whole book.
I also, like that Lena was able to stand up to social convention and be herself. Tory, as troubled as he is, is still a strong man both physically and emotionally.

Book three in the Trail Blazers series but the first book by this Author that I have read it is well written and a story that kept me turning pages. What a sick man Eleanor Hart's father was I am glad she meet Cherokee trapper Troy Price. I enjoyed the ending. I would recommend this book. I will be reading the first two books.

This was such a moving romance set in the 1840s in the wild frontier with marvelous characters both the hero and the heroine are strong-willed people just what is needed going into the wilderness. This book really is a must read beautifully written one of the better western I have read. I highly recommend this one. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
February 20, 2019
Like the characters and storyline. Eleanor is running from her high society upbringing for a life with more substance and meaning. Troy believes her to be just another spoiled, pampered girl with no real idea of how rough life in the wild can be. Loved to ride and adventure with them, but I thought the ending could have shown them settled for a true HEA.
January 20, 2019
This is the first book I have read by this author. I was impressed. Very well written. The characters were realistic. I enjoyed reading about the trek they made. I will be checking out more of her work.
October 22, 2021
This was not as good as the last book in the series. Too much repetition with the wording, “will she give up her life to be with him or won’t she”. Too much speculation with the characters thoughts and not enough actual story.
February 9, 2019
The captivating western historical adventure follows their journey with Eleanor and Troy's romance story. Excellent characters. A well-written book, I enjoyed reading. It was a pleasure to review.
December 31, 2019
Interesting. I thought that the author had a bit of a struggle to totally immerse the characters in the period.

Brilliant! Love a spoiled princess in the wilderness story. Not quite 5 stars as boy did the end drag, once she went back East and all the guff with her parents I wasn't that bothered about it.
October 2, 2020
A story of two completely different people, Troy and Eleanor, exploring the wilderness for different reasons. Jenna does her magic describing vividly the many places they visit. Troy and Eleanor are golden with their comical banter.
This story is another entertaining historical vision of Pioneer days. A history lesson combining geography, great characters for a fascinating read.

This was my first book by Kernan and it won't be my last.
It took a little bit to get going but once the H & h got on the road, so to speak, things moved along nicely. The villain was a bit OTT but all in all a satisfying read.
