Железния облак — великият водач на индианците от племето омаха. Единственото, което той желае, е мир за хората му. Но постоянните оскърбления от безскрупулните правителствени агенти принуждават воина да избере опасен курс. Никога не се е замислял, че желанието за мъст ще го срещне с една жена, която може да изпълни всичките му желания.
Бялата върба — млада, невинна и красива, Дамита отказва да се подчини на главатаря на омаха и той я грабва от новия й дом край границата. Но когато Железния облак завладява сърцето й с изгаряща страст и в дивите му прегръдки тя достига до висините на забранения екстаз, се заклева да преодолее всяко препятствие, което заплашва да я раздели от мъжа, събудил любовта у нея…
Edwards began writing romances in 1982 and released her 100th novel, Savage Skies, on August 28, 2007. Although her earlier books were classic historical romances, the vast majority of her novels involve Native American tribes. Edwards's grandmother was a full-blooded Cheyenne. Her first 99 books sold a combined 10 million copies as of August 2007, with her more recent novels averaging sales of 250,000–350,000 copies.
Edwards has won the Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award and the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, as well as being named one of Affaire de Coeur's top ten favorite romance writers. Edwards has a reputation for meticulously researching the proper anthropological backgrounds of each tribe she writes about.
Edwards and her husband Charles, a retired high school biology teacher, have been married for over 50 years. They have two sons, Charles and Brian, and three grandchildren. The family lived in St. Louis, Missouri for over thirty years, but now reside in Mattoon, Illinois.
While I mostly enjoyed the story of this book and it was entertaining enough to hold my attention I wouldn't classify it as the best of Mrs. Edwards work.
The pacing of the story story just didn't balance correctly. Certain important moments in the heroes and heroines life happened too quickly, like four life changing events in one evening and then other things didn't seem to really happen at all. I believe the lead heroines cousin was suppose to be the main villain of this story but he's barely in twenty five pages of the book and everything with him is completely anti-climatic.
Also a lot of just random plot elements feel thrown into the last 100 pages of the story, which I kind of feel happens because of the lack of an actual villain.
Over all the two lead characters are enjoyable and if you just want to read a cute love story it is that, but I would suggest checking out another one of Mrs. Edward other works first.
