Hawk is a page turner,
This review is from: Hawk (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first Elaine Barbieri book that I have read...And I will be reading many more in the future! From the very first page, she draws you right in. I am especially fond of Indian Romances, and the story of Kyle(Hawk) and Eden will not dissappoint, if you are as well. They meet when they are young and fall in love, and they meet again five years later. Barbieri is not a gutless romance author...not one of those who's afraid to separate the characters from eachother/allow them to hate eachother...their problems do not get solved in 5 pages. Some authors are afraid to do this, and thier books are not very interesting. Instead, she keeps you hanging throughout the book, wanting them to be together in the end. Barbieri is right up there with Georgina Gentry and Madeline Baker. If you enjoy their books, you'll enjoy Hawk as well. A great read. Worth the money.

Average Story, Terrible Heroine,
By msbooklady "msbooklady" (Biloxi, MS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hawk (Mass Market Paperback)
A Young Eden falls in love with Kyle(Iron Hawk), a Kiowa man who was raised by a white couple after his parents were killed in a raid. Eden's father is full of hatred for all Indians, because Eden's mother was killed by Indians. In his rage to keep the young couple apart, Eden's father first shoots Kyle and then frames him for one of his hand's murder. Eden and Kyle try to run off together only to be found by her father's ranchhand Will. When her father runs in and tries to shoot Kyle he ducks and Will is hit and killed. Eden hits her head and is knocked out and when she comes to she believes the stories that Kyle (Iron Hawk) shot Will in the back and killed him. Kyle is sent to a labor camp where he spends several years shackled and in hard labor until he escapes vowing to returning to his people known as Iron Hawk. In his quest for vengeance, Kyle kidnaps Eden and then later her young son, Tommy. The years have taught Eden to hate as well but as much as they try they cannot turn their backs on the passion they once knew.
I almost gave this story one star rating because I could not stand Eden and in my mind she never did anything in the story to redeem herself only made herself more loathable. Eden's father shoots Kyle in front of her, teaches her son hatred, locks her in her room, treats people bad and all she ever does is say,oh Dad now don't do that..tsk tsk....However when the man she supposedly loves professes his innocence to the crime he's convicted of she does not believe him, and she ends up killing someone who was trying to protect themself and she hates Iron Hawk and thinks she's the one justified. Man after man in this story makes a fool over himself for Eden and the only thing that seems to warrant this devotion is that she's a blue eyed blond....Yuck! At least Iron Hawk had some heart. Don't make the type of woman that most of us can't stand a heroine in a book.
