From Publishers Weekly

Cherish Blassingame is modeling her expensive wedding gown in one of the railcars of her tycoon father's transcontinental trains when the train is attacked in the desert on its way back to Sacramento from the East Coast. She had planned to wear the dress at her wedding to her long-time beau, the eligible if unexciting Pierce Randolph. But Pierce's vengeful Indian half-brother, Nevada, and his Paiute band spoil the marriage plans by kidnapping Cherish and refusing to release her until she willingly gives her virginity to gentleman-turned-outlaw Nevada. Cherish had once been in love with Nevada and he with her until her family's insidious meddling divided them. Amid many lurid sex scenes and plenty of bloodshed in a secluded valley in Nevada, the two fall in love again and manage to keep their love alive despite murders, family clashes and a long separation. Set in 1887, this sequel to Nevada Nights lets readers see a second generation of Randolphs repeat the past in graphic detail. The pace is rushed, the characters stiff and the plotting forced, but the story improves as it progresses and the action is never tame.

From Library Journal

Although 90-minute abridgments do neither the genre nor the stories justice, both of these audiobooks manage to capture the essence of the books. Time-Kept Promises is one of the original and best time-travel romance novels. The heroine journeys from the 1980s to the 1780s and back again, taking the hero with her on the return trip. Nevada Dawn is a historical Western romance. The heroine is every inch a spoiled young woman who meets her match in the half-breed Nevada. The latter audiobook is heavily abridged, and the dialog is often more amusing than touching. However, narrator Erin Lee reads sans dramatics, and her excellent performance enables the words to dictate the emotions. Time-Kept Promises is read by Victoria Prime. Her perky voice is almost too cute for the role, but she eventually settles down and allows the story to lead her. Although neither program is fantastic, both are quite good. Public libraries may want to try several selections in the publisher's series in order to spike interest in these popular authors.?Jodi L. Israel, Westwood, Mass.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kind of Renegade, September 6, 2008

By 

Sun Set (Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nevada Dawn (Paperback)

Nevada Dawn is Gentry's 11th romance western book in an interwoven series that is full of adventure, love, and well researched historical facts. The story takes place in 1887 Texas. Nevada is the son of Dallas Durango (heroine from Nevada Nights) and he also made a quick appearance in Apache Caress as the outlaw that robbed the train. Nevada is part Paiute, Cheyenne, and Spanish but was raised as a wealthy rancher. However he gives up his name and future when his white brother reveals a devastating family secret. Nevada takes to his gun and renegade friends and ends up capturing the future wife of his brother; Cherish, one of the richest girls in the west. He gives her two choices; stay chaste and remain hidden in his outlaw valley hidden from the law or give him one night of pleasure and by dawn she could be on her way to marry his brother.
A very catching story, low sexual content, with a sweet side.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok., January 5, 2002

This review is from: Nevada Dawn (Audio Cassette)

This story was ok but I have listened to better romance stories and the characters the guy named Nevada and the lady named Cherish Blassingame are ok. It was ok to listen to once but it's not an audio cassette recording I would listen to again and so it wasn't a keeper.
