On the untamed frontier, a fiery and forbidden love...
Fresh from Paris' finest art academy, exquisitely lovely Briana Collins comes home to paint the beautiful wilderness of her native Minnesota.

I didn’t like it at all. It was very depressing. There was way too many villains it got ridiculous.

Wild Rapture is about a woman called Briana Collins whose an artist who is staying with her uncle Blackie. One day Night Hawk the son of the Chief Chippewa whose a mix blooded [meaning his half Indian and half white:]. They meet and fall in love BUT things keep happening which tests their love for each other.
Ok, they kiss each other on the FIRST few pages of this book which is weird for me. And they fell in love at first sight *aww*. Their love is forbidden because of the fact that she's white and his Indian. But they defy what others say and stay together. Which is so sweet. I love the way Night Hawk says "My Woman" a lot. It's good to see his possessive streak.
The thing that freaked me out what the love between Night Hawk father Echohawk and Gentle Fawn. They have 40 years age gap. 40 YEARS!!! Echohawk is 60 years old while Gentle Fawn is just 20 years old. That's just so WRONG for me. I don't like that. And what also what I dislike is that he fell in love with Gentle Hawk while his beloved wife Mariah was sick. That's just disgusting/not ok behaviour. But you gotta feel for Gentle Fawn whose been through a lot.
All I say is that if the father parts didn't happen THAN it would have been a better book!
