I just finished reading this book and what a great book it was! It was filled with romance, mystery and several exciting parts and tender moments. I also enjoyed the unusual friendship between Shane and Marsh. Marsh is falling for Calera but he knows that Shane is the only man in her eyes. Despite his best efforts to make her forget Shane. Marsh is also intrigued by the skill and commance that Shane possessed. Shane is a wonderful hero. One that any girl would feel honored to have love her. Calera was willing to learn many of the Apache ways and throughout the book she uses those skills. I highly recommend this book. It will be a keeper on my self for furture re-reads. You won't be disappointed....read it!

Shane is a half Apache by his mother and white by his rancher father. Shane lives as a rancher in Arizona but still has his Apache ways embedded within his soul. The heroine is a young college graduate named Calera who has recently left the East to reside with her brother near Apache land in the West. Little does she know Shane had just killed her arrogant brother in self defense when she is captured by renegade Apaches. Shane witnesses the abduction and sets out to save her. And the story goes on from here.

Apache Knight is a soft romance and easy to read. The author attempts to be sympathetic toward the Apaches that are forced to live on barren reservations while watching their children die of starvation. However this story would have been more believable had the Apache culture been researched and reflected in this read. In one part Calera faces rape in the hands of her Apaches captors, in reality it was taboo among the Apache to violate ANY female. Shane, who is supposedly torn because his heart lies with his red brothers, kills one of his own over the white captive only minutes after setting eyes on Calera. Not very palpability....Apaches have morals and did not fight their own lightly.

Enough said. The story was entertaining but I prefer Georgian Gentry as she writes well research, respectful, Native American romances.

A romance filled with exciting action to keep one reading for now on. The author did an excellent job.
