Sierra Alden is desperate to find her long-lost brother and sister seperated from her when an Indian attack left her parents murdered and her wandering alone on the Colorado prairie. So 18 years later when she is fresh from finishing school and living with her adopted parents in California she overhears a tale of two white 'savages' who were adopted and grew up in a Cheyenne tribe and were now living in 'polite society' in Denver. Sierra is determined to locate them after all these years and tries to devise a way to get to Denver.

Ramsey Hunter is just the kind of man Sierra should steer clear of. He is brooding and harsh. He owns a seedy establishment in town and consorts with 'those women'. No one seems to know where he came from or why he is so rich. Nor does anyone care. Ram meets Sierra in an unfortunate way and they both loathe each other immediately. Soon afterwards Ramsey gets an urgent telegram for him to proceed to Denver ASAP. Overhearing this, Sierra decides to hitch a ride with him, but he forbids it. Little does he know he can;t stop the stubborn and spoiled rich girl who always gets her way.

As always Connie Mason takes us on an unforgettable journey through the mountains packed full of adventure and intrigue. Ram is hiding a very mysterious and dark past and Sierra is dying to find out what it is, but will she want him as much when she does? Will her heart change when faced with the horrible truth of Ram's past and future? Will she go running back to her fiance after she finds out?
I was happy with the final book in this series and was happy to meet up with the characters and places from the other two books, "Tears Like Rain" and "Wind Rider". Although, I wished there had been more closeness between the long-lost siblings like there was between Abby and Ryder(brother and sister from the previous two books)but in all it was a definate keeper and I am always thrilled to pick up a new Mason book, they're always sure to please...

The best thing about this book was the fact that Sierra was the one persuing Ramsay. It was refreshing to have the heroine know what she wanted and go after it. Ram knew what he wanted too, but was trapped in circumstances beyond his control. Both characters were very engaging. My only disappointment was in Sierra's reunion with her siblings. After all the years and all the hardships to reach them, not much of a relationship was developed between them.

Connie Mason can always be counted on for an enjoyable read. KCS

I really loved this book all the way until Sierra became reunited with her brother and sister. When that point happened this book dropped from a five to a three. The main reason I didnt like the book past that point was Sierra's brother, Cole. I didnt like how he pretty much took over her life with Ram. He had not seen his sister since she was little and he thought he could control her life with Ram. Aside from annoying Cole, the book was good. I really did like Sierra and Ram they were great together and they had wonderful chemistry.

This is the first romance I've actually finished entirely in a long time. I think Connie Mason is a fine writer, aside from about ten blouses or trousers that were "gaping open," and about three "pouting nipples." :) I did, however, wonder why Ram didn't just tell Sierra he was married--or indeed, why he didn't just divorce that witch.

But unusually for a romance nowadays, I felt that Ram & Sierra really loved each other. Too often now if I am not completely hating the main characters, it seems like they hate each other, but have sex anyway. And at least Ram & Sierra waited and didn't do it in the first chapter. I like the suspense & buildup.

This was one of her bes books ever. I loved the way he tried to avoid her bt e judt couldn't. And also the part where at the very end she pronounced that she didn't marry the other guy.
