(GRAMMAR AND SPELLING MISTAKES THAT WERE IN THIS BOOK PREVIOUSLY, HAVE ALL BEEN CORRECTED.) Callie reluctantly travels to Texas to marry her dead sister’s husband, so she can help raise his children. During her most vulnerable moment, as she is giving birth to her first child, Comanche Indians capture her, after killing her husband. Now she must face a world turned upside down by the love of a Comanche, and the need to run a cattle ranch all on her own.

A good story. Sent off to marry her sisters widow as a brood mare and nanny to his children then her life changes when commanche come to the ranch.
Women basically had no power and were a commodity, a completely different mind set.

I seldom ever put a book aside without finishing it, but this story was so predictable and corny. For example a woman who has just given birth does not have sex a week later.

Bummer

I gave this book a chance because it has a decent eating and promised that the spelling had been fixed.
But holy commas, I got halfway through it before I JUST CAN'T READ MORE and there's a thousand extra commas... Plus, who can read the bold font? Not me! I changed it on my kindle but could not escape the bold, my eyeballs are trying to escape.
The book is a good storyline but so fast, I feel as if a mere child is telling a story. I simply cannot even finish it, and that's a bummer!

Lovely

Another great story! I think there was a name mistake in there but that aside.. The story was awesome. I really have a hard time reading about rapes.. This was not so graphic and sadly its a reality. The perseverance that results is so realistic! I just loved the story the end with the newpapers taking note of the accomplishments. Loved it! Babies.. Cattle drive.. Kidnapping.. Indians.. Love..

Beyond The Heart

When Callie was forced to marry her dead sister’s husband and take care her children she was very upset. Later getting to know her husband she hated him. She stayed because she fell in love with the children. When some Indians came to their ranch her husband was killed. Callie then fell in love with one of the Indians.

Good Reading

I liked this book although it was close to a fairy tale. I doubt Indians could be so quickly assimilated into the Texas ranching culture. I liked the treatment of Callie's reluctance to take on raising children as if that were her only role to fill.

Um are you joking

Spoilers

So how does a women, who never had kids, isn't pregnant feeding milk from her boobs? Um, just putting a baby to my boob and have her suck, doesn't make milk.

He raped her, I don't care what you say. He raped her and wasn't nice about it. But then she enjoys it the next day because he was nice and gentle. Please, you can't make a rapist a good guy and I could care less he died. He just wanted a women to screw and give him babies, he could care less who the woman is.

Not romance.

Unreal

This book had too much sex. It was unsettling. It seemed to be the worst things that could happen to anyone kept happening to the people people in this story.
