I didn't enjoy this Dorothy Garlock story as much as her others. I really liked Light when I was first introduced to this character in Annie Lash... but didn't find Maggie very memorable or appealing to carry off as a main character. She was interesting as a supporting character in Annie Lash, however. My mother and sister thought otherwise and loved this story... so if you were intrigued by Maggie and Light in Annie Lash, you will really enjoy this one.

Eli and Aee were a charming character, and would have made a perfect main pair of characters. There were many interesting conflicts in the story, including river pirates and hostile indians... and a couple surprises along the way. The conflicts seemed to take quite a long time to reach their conclusion... with little substance in between.

I found it very difficult to relate to either Maggie or Light, however, some of the supporting characters surrounding them were quite charming and intriguing. Light was, however, intriguing and fun to read. Maggie, on the other hand, was not much more than a spoiled child... though with strong dedication to Light, she had little other substance. It was exciting to hear more about other characters that I read about in Annie Lash.

As much a fan I am of Dorothy Garlock, I have to say this is the only one that I was capable of putting down each night. Ms. Garlock is an excellent writer, and this is a good story with some interesting characters.... it's just not her best.

I still gave her three stars, cause it was good reading... and I find even her worst stories are better than all other historical romance writers.

I will be reading Lonesome River next, and will post my review soon.

Every book is a different adventure and takes you into another world. All are well written with a little bit of everything. A-One I wish she could write faster and publish more.
