I hate cliffhangers, that being said I loved this story.
It brings attention to fracking, which should be against the law. It is unnecessary, destroys the earth(environment, animals and people) just to make more money for rich a**hats that are greedy.
The story with hero's from the india.not nations is great, could have had a bit more of their culture shown, at least with the family. I hated the only reference of the reservation was of a negative nature (while it can be true) there is so much more.
I can not wait for the next book and will be looking for her others.

My first book of Rachel Connell and it wont be my last! I loved this book, but I hate cliffhangers, with that said I will be continuing on with this series it is that good. Sam and Chayton's chemistry was off the charts but they have unfinished business. They are both in their own way is working against fracking which destroys the earth. They meet and the sparks fly and they end up working together, you must read this book, the author does a great job of building the story and grabbing you a pulling you in! You will not be disappointed!

Book one in the North Star Crusades series and it does end on a cliff-hanger, this is the first part of Samantha Red Horse and Chayton Running's story. I will be looking to read the next part. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
