About the author

Always a daydreamer, and often scolded for it by the grandmother who raised her, Norah Hess always wanted to be a writer. At eighteen, she was sent to Chicago to live with an aunt after her grandmother's death. It was there that she met her husband. After raising three children, Norah decided to write her first novel, and since then has had fifteen published romances. After her husband passed away, she and her two cats moved to Palm Springs, where the desert and mountains inspire her to write her Western romances.

Reviews

[Joelle Mendes · Rating 1 out of 5]

I was not a fan of this book. It started off really well but once the hero and heroine were separated, it fell apart for me. I don't like books where the couple is separated for a long period of time. This one felt like their separation dragged on forever and by the time they found each other again, I wasn't really interested. I'm sure lots of other people will love this book, but it just wasn't for me.

Is it that bad? Yes and no. It is dated and probably fairly accurate in a portrail of how racist everything was back then. Having enjoyed Norah Hess way back in the day... Re-reading her stuff now? I'd never recommend it. Very sexist and racist... But probably more truthful than anything that would be written nowadays.

Mot a very good book. I didn’t think I would ever get through it. Potential was there but not executed well.

The inclusion of Doxy made this impossible for me to buy into the romance with this MC as the hero. It was a DNF for me.
