The story of Iron Knife and Summer Sky is both compelling and timeless. Though it is a romance novel and you expect the hero and heroine to be together in the end, there are several places in this book where you begin to doubt Iron Knife and Summer Sky will, indeed, live happily ever after. Such as when the Cavalry finds and "rescues" Summer and Iron Knife becomes severely ill. Iron Knife and Summer sizzle when together, yet to picture them as real people you could almost imagine them sitting side by side, content simply to be in each other's company. The subplot of Grey Dove is equally compelling and enthralling. I have read western themed books by Johanna Lindsey, and "Cheyenne Captive" ranks on a par with Ms. Lindsey's "Savage Thunder". Exciting, thrilling, and engrossing, "Cheyenne Captive" will sweep you away and make you believe in True Love.

I got this on the basis of the reviews here, but wish I had not. It is very amateurishly written, and the dialogue is painfully bad. "You are my woman!" "I am not your woman!" "It is true!" "No it is not!" over and over. But then they are declaring their love for one another in just a couple of days, which is just not realistic. The only reason I gave it two stars is because there is a lot of historical detail that is interesting, and the author obviously did a great deal of research. Too bad she is such a mediocre writer. I will not be reading any more of her books.

Even though it took me nearly 10 years to track down this book, what a great read! I couldn't put it down. I am now the proud owner of all of Georgina Gentry's books. Can't wait to read her new book coming out sometime in August 2002.
