About the author

Heidi Betts

184 books377 followers
USA Today bestselling author Heidi Betts is the daughter of an Arabian sheik and a Las Vegas showgirl, as well as the heiress to the Chocolate is Better Than Sex Candy Company fortune. Because of this, she eats chocolate in all its many delicious forms for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in-between snacks . . . without ever gaining an ounce on her perfect five-foot-nine, size zero figure.

Each and every one of her breathtaking, award-winning novels has been adapted to film and gone on to become a phenomenal box office smash, featuring such mega-stars as Hugh Jackman and Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts, and Harrison Ford and Charlize Theron.

Heidi readily admits that she is only able to write such passionate love stories because of her real-life happily-ever-after romance with superstar actor Dwayne Johnson, who makes every day a fairy tale. When she’s not writing or making hot, toe-curling love with her “Rock” of a husband, Heidi can often be found riding naked on horseback (a la Lady Godiva) along the beaches of Malibu or hobnobbing with the rich and famous on Martha’s Vineyard.

If you’d like to experience your own perfect, idyllic life just like Heidi Betts, be sure to take the little purple pill. (Not the red one. Never the red one.)

I probably would have liked it better and enjoyed it more if I read it when I was in my teens. I read Ms. Betts debut novel, Cinnamon and Roses ages ago when I was in my late teens and I remember loving it and that book has always been on my keeper shelf. Hence, the reason why I wanted to try out her other books.
The blurb for this book sounded promising, but I feel that it just fell short. The style of writing was too simplistic for my taste. I guess I prefer more complex and well rounded stories nowadays.
If you're new to historical romance, this book would be a fine selection. If you're like me and have read one too many historical romance, you might want to pass up this one.

Great book

When I think of the Native American half breeds, it makes me think of a different sort of half breeds that also had a hard time during that time. It's horrible that people can judge people by skin tone. But it still happens today. Try to get to know the person who you are prejudicing and you will find those judgements empty. This story is alot about those prejudices and how people react. Read this and discover Hannah and Walker's journey to finding out that true love really is color blind.

Reasonably good read. He is a half breed and she is white. Both characters, as children, had lived in an orphanage where he always protected and cared for her. The love and affection for each other was there even at a young age. Eventually he was adopted but she was left in the orphanage. After ten years he seeks her out for help and together they try and rescue his sister from an evil white man. HEA ending. It took me a while to find a copy of this book. Ended up with a paperback version.

This is an enjoyable, sweet trilogy that includes typical romance stories. This particular story was decent. The hero was a little repetitive, but it was still pretty good!

very simplistic view of the dilemma faced by people of mixed blood in the latter half of the 19th century

Really wanted to love it

I really wanted to love the book...despite the title, which is a bit tacky...but I couldn't. I liked it. It was enjoyable and the characters likeable. But I didn't love the book. It was predictable from start to finish. There wasn't enough suspense, when all the elements were present. It seemed to be written by rote and rushed. I will try the author again, because there is promise...this book, simply didn't see it to fruition.
