This review may come across as the rantings of a superficial lunatic but that's because this novel was just so stupid.
Wtf did I just read ? This has got to go down in history ( my personal reading history ) as the only romance novel with a H who hates beautiful women and therefore only has sex with EXTREMELY ugly women. And when I say extremely ugly women I mean exactly that. Seriously. This H has a boulder on his shoulder about beautiful women being evil. The H's dear old uncle Buck was married for a very short time to a very beautiful woman whom he later found having sex with another man. Uncle Buck goes psycho, shoots the wife and her lover and then turns the gun on himself. The H was an impressionable teenager at that time so he got all F up in the head and suddenly began to believe that beautiful women were the devil's own spawn. As a result of this the hero, Kane, decides that he will never have sex with a beautiful woman; actually he refuses to have sex with even average looking women. Kane deliberately chooses only the ugliest of the ugly women because he thinks it makes him safe. I kid you not. If anybody decides to read this novel, you will see it yourself. I am not exaggerating. In fact there is an early scene where the H has to pick one whore from among a few and he carefully picks the one who looks the oldest and has the saggiest boobs and is by no means attractive. That was just too gross for me. It just hit all my superficial buttons too much; I had problems reading through that nauseating sex scene with a gorgeous hot hero and some swamp whore creature person...whatever ... it was like a horror movie.
I am finding it difficult to articulate my feelings about certain aspects of this novel.
Anyway, the other nasty thing about this sex scene is that it happens AFTER Kane has met the heroine D'lise. He is very attracted to her and he saves her from being raped and beaten by her cruel uncle. He has basically taken her under his wing, so to speak, as if she's his ward. Although he really wants D'lise, he has his psychological problem with the attraction because she is beautiful. Therein lies the main conflict between the H and the heroine. Kane is a returning soldier who is also a fur trapper like his late uncle Buck. He decides to take the heroine to his cabin and help her build a new safe life for herself, away from her uncle.
Of course when they arrive at his little shack of a cabin in the beautiful, snow filled hills, Kane's former mistress is there waiting for him because she had heard scouts mention that he was returning. The mistress is even worse than the swamp creature whore he had screwed earlier. The mistress is a native A'can woman called Raven and yes she is supremely ugly because that's Kane's preference. Some reviewers have said that they feel the depiction of the Native Americans in this novel is racist but I disagree. Kane also has a best friend who is native A'can and this guy is depicted in a very warm and positive manner as a loyal, courageous and kind person. He even helped Kane to save D'Elise's life. It is perhaps the author's portrayal of Raven that makes some readers cry racism. But again I do not see it as racism because the author had previously described in great detail how ugly the white prostitute had been ( the one Kane had had gross swamp creature sex with ). Therefore, when the author describes how ugly and gross Raven is, I do not see it as being racist. The author is merely trying to illustrate that Kane is an equal opportunity kind of guy - he likes ugly gross women regardless of ethnicity. Nothing racist here. Plus there are instances in the novel where there's mention of pretty native A'can women too.
Raven is admittedly described in very gross terms. The author says she has a broad flat face with pox scars and her hair is filled with something called bear grease. Raven also does not use soap or scented oils to bathe so she has a body odor problem. At this point, I wanted to say just F it with this novel because what the hell is wrong with a man who will ignore bad body odor and still have sex with a woman? My opinion of Kane is very low at this point in the novel. The fact that he stops having sex with Raven because he keeps thinking about D'Elise didn't matter to me. That's because he allowed D'Elise to think that he was still with Raven because he let the latter sleep in the barn with him. Raven was truly disgusting. She knew how much the heroine enjoyed keeping the cabin clean and yet she would go and rub her dirty unwashed body and her grease fat filled hair all over the heroine's clean bed. Wtf ?
Why am I still even writing about this shit ? Raven is not only ugly and unhygienic but also evil. Eventually the H gets too fed up of having her hanging around and tells her she needs to leave. She departs but she keeps skulking around the cabin and returns to destroy the vegetable garden the heroine had planted. Then after the H finally gains some common sense and sees that D'Elise is sweet, kind and wonderful even though she is beautiful, he decides to marry her. From this point the jackass is totally faithful and never shows interest in another woman. Raven however, starts planting seeds of doubt in his head, telling him that the heroine is attracted to the guy who owns the little general store. When Kane gets mad and jealous and decides to drink himself to sleep in the barn, Raven enters and takes off his clothes and hers. She cons him into thinking he had sex with her. He is shattered because he is in love with his wife by this point and the coward is trying to think of ways to do damage control now. I think Kane sees clearly, at this point, that he was an ignoramus for thinking that a woman's behaviour and goodness are linked to her looks. He feels stupid when he realizes that Raven is as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside. Whatever. I was getting tired of everybody in the story by this point.
Anyway, a lot of other stuff happens and Kane's best friend ( the native A'can guy ) keeps warning him to beware of Raven because even the people in her tribe hate her. Kane doesn't think about this too much until Raven turns up one day saying she's pregnant with his baby. This hurts the heroine because she just found out she's pregnant too and can't bear the thought that Kane had lied to her and had been cheating with Raven. I almost forgot to add that Raven had also arranged to have one of her pals attempt to murder the heroine but the H's dog saves her and kills the guy in the process. Kane the dumbass had not linked that incident to Raven. The heroine leaves Kane for a couple weeks to stay with a female friend in the town. Kane's best friend soon finds out about Raven's pregnancy story and tells him it's a lie. Apparently, Raven's pelvic area had been crushed in an accident when she was a child and their village medicine woman/man had stated that she would never be able to have kids. The best friend was the one who saved the day for the H and the heroine because he was an important warrior in Raven's tribe and he threatens to have her banished from their people and sold as a slave to another native A'can tribe. Raven decides that she had better confess the truth to the heroine because she's too lazy to be a slave. This was just hysterically stupid at this point. Omg. I have read other novels by Norah Hess that were really better.
I just could not get over how nonsensical the hero was and his gross sexual misadventures with the swamp creature whore and Raven left me feeling kind of ill.
This is probably the least articulate review I've written. My thoughts are all over the place with this novel. Nothing is moving in a systematic manner in my brain right now. My superficial side is wreaking havoc with my politically correct and logical side. I have to say that the MC's get their HEA with a baby girl and they adopt a couple of homeless kids, who all live harmoniously with the cute dog and D'Elise's pet cat. Other than that I just have a sudden need to go take a long shower because just the memory of this novel makes me feel dirty.
Mountain Rose and Fancy by this author were good novels but this one is, in my personal opinion, a failure. It really made me long for the conventional OW who practised good hygiene.

October 25, 2014I yield at 38%. Nothing, absolutely nothing has happened, except the that H sleeps with his Indian mistress. Bah.

Another one from Ms. Hess that isn't going to be easy for most readers to digest. Our H suffers from PTSD as he watched his uncle kill himself because his beautiful wife was making a cuckold of him. So he only sleeps with ugly women so as to not fall in love. Lame? Absolutely. There are scenes early of him having sex with OW. There's an element of racism while describing Native American women. The misunderstandings between H and h are all due to H's PTSD and excessive jealousy. It was infuriating to read whenever they argued.
But despite all that, I like Ms. Hess's writing because of how gritty and realistic the surroundings are. Her stories are set in harsh surroundings but with a small community of good neighbors around our MCs. They struggle with everyday issues but Ms. Hess manages to provide us with events where the community laughs and grieves together. I absolutely adore D'lise, our h, and her journey from growing up lonely and traumatized to a cheerful and much admired part of her community. Her relationships with her pets and her adopted cousins is so pure.
Ms. Hess's writings aren't snappy plot-driven romance that Harlequin provides. Instead what we see are hours and days, H and h spend together doing mundane tasks to make a life for themselves and doing small romantic gestures for each other as we slowly watch the romance grow between them. To top it all off, I love how she writes her sex scenes as both characters actively craving the need to satisfy their sexual needs.

FMC is an orphan, she was raised by her wonderful aunt. Unfortunately, the aunt suffered daily at the hands of her abusive husband. Subsequently, the heroine suffered too.
The husband would starve them, hit them, whip them. He would rape his wife in front of kids who are working for him.
When the aunt died, the FMC was 18 and the husband intended to rape the heroine thinking that she needs to fill the place of her aunt.
MMC who is going home from war and passing by, saw in the forest how FMC was fighting off her uncle and saved her. He took her under his wing as his "ward".
Even if the MMC was insanely attracted to FMC's beauty, he resented her for it. Since his uncle, the one who raised him, killed his beautiful wife when he found out she was cheating on him and then killed himself.
So, the main dilemma of the book is: FMC feeling so grateful for MMC, yet she can't bring herself to love him carnally since she's afraid of everything sexual.
MMC: falling slowly for her and yet he's always suspicious that she would be like his uncle's cheating wife.
The book was good. What marred the experience a little bit: is all the other woman/ other man drama. But since there was no actual cheating: emotional or otherwise, this book is still a good read.
Also, it helped me tick a tricky square in my 2025 Reading Bingo Challenge: A HR book with a healer in it. (There was a native American healer who healed FMC from her festered back wounds)

It wasn’t a boring book. There’s a lot of scenes with 2 ow before the MCs get together for safety people. When he starts getting to know the h better, he can’t get it up for the ow.
The h was annoying, what an entitled bitch.
The H saves her from an abusive uncle and takes her home expecting nothing from her. He’s doing it out of kindness because she has no where to go, and all she thinks about is how ugly, dirty and small his home is., his home is so poor looking that it brings tears to her eyes🙄. What an ungrateful bitch.
she accepts his money for new dresses, plenty of food to eat that she’s never had before, and she’s just judgey about him and his ow (when she doesn’t want him to touch her).
Interesting plot: the H only sleeps with butt ugly woman because he thinks beautiful woman are bitches..,he’s right, look at the way the ungrateful h is acting. She’s willing to use his shelter, food and money and give nothing in return. I would call her a parasite. At least whores give something in return.
Felt sorry for him honestly.

There were aspects I liked but more I didn't like. I didn't like the tasteless way the hero blatantly took Raven to the barn to have sex while he was developing a relationship with the heroine. He was also a bit too enthusiastic about it...
I also hated the slightly racist remarks and pro white women comments throughout the book.

I know. The cover right? Sometimes I love these cheesy romances. This was kinda one of those times. This book was soooo slow.I mean, I liked the story, especially the slow simmer. Which would have been required due to the early content in this book but it was like watching paint dry in some parts. And the constant misunderstanding started to grate on my nerves. I received this book for free through my Kindle for Samsung app. (great app!)
I’m partial to historical romances and equally partial to rescuees falling for rescuers, which is obviously one of those stories. This was my first trip into Norah Hess’ work and also into this time frame. I would absolutely read more in this time frame but I don’t think I have the patience to get through another long descriptive book like this one right now.
It seemed each day was described and he timeline didn’t vary; i.e. flashbacks or others POV’s. It was very linear and there wasn’t much of a subplot or it was so predictable as to seem non-existent. Which caused me to take many breaks while reading this. It was also very predictable and while I do love those from time to time, this one kinda fell flat for me.
I think in the end the predictability of the book is what saved it for me. Since I knew how it was going to go, I finished it. And as I got through the second half the time seemed to pick up a bit too. Like I said I liked the story, it just took a while to get to the meat of it.

This book was ok. I really dont like though when the hero is involved with several women (squaws, dance hall girls, etc) even though it is before he hooks up and marries the heroine. Seems like a cheater in my eyes because the book is about the hero and heroine falling in love, so I dont want to read about him with some skanky brothel girl while the heroine is looking on. Takes away from the fairy tale romance idea.

Oh my word, the trust issues in this book...back and forth, back and forth! I love you, no I hate you!
But despite it all, there were certain parts that I really enjoyed.

This author writes the most disgusting heroes. The love story is not at all romantic.
Even though I hate ow drama, here the description of the ow was so bad. Does black eyes means ugly? And then sagging breast? Why? Why do body shaming? I understand the era it is from but still, it was very disgusting to read all such descriptions.
The hero is one of the worst creatures of my book reading journey. He likes the h yet he sleeps around.
All in all this book is unromantic.

Most of my first comment stands.
All kinds of flawed characters, no surprise since we humans are fallible.
I estimate about 15% of the story once D'lise relocated was repetitious.
Old Tom is one of my favorite characters, a wise & grandfatherly fellow.
Not a bad story overall but had to work hard to finish it, but I had less than 50% to finish it...

Enjoyed
I have read this book before and enjoyed very much. I again read this story on ebook, and again. N. Hess stories are her original. Her marking. I have read everyone of her books but 3. Willow, Blaze, and Forever the Flame. I hope that one day soon they will become e-books too.
I enjoyed Kane and D'lise story.

This was free, I didn't have high hopes as historical romance is not my thing. I gave up after only a few paragraphs as it was so cliched.

Just ok
I’m surprised this book had such a high rating. It was pretty slow and repetitive. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

I ended up enjoying this book more than I thought I would. There is a lot of silly jealousy that goes on. Too much for my taste. Still a good read.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Just stupid
What a waste of reading time! Silly story, silly characters, silly dialogue...just SILLY! Same old plot..Same old h and H...Same old ending. Why are the women always teenagers and the men they fall for always over 30? No way I would recommend this stupid book.

I found this story very bland compared to Mrs.Hess's other novels , I really tried to finish the book but unfortunately gave up after 3/4th of the way through...there's just too many other books waiting to be read :D
