1.0 out of 5 stars
Awful, June 22, 2005
This review is from: Snow Fire (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, I'll admit it: I like reading about heroines who are in dire need of a strong hero. As I picked up Snow Fire, and read the back cover, I thought "Maybe this will be good." Big mistake. I'd once read another book by Norah Hess - Caleb's Bride - and thought it awful as well. This one has not the rapings and cursings, but it has totally useless characters. Not to mention , you read it, and it looks like something a really amateur writer would produce. The main characters, Stone and Flame, are both in love with one another, but Stone likes to tease and flirt with an Indian maiden, Little Bird, and Flame doesn't like it, but she has lost her memory and wants Stone to care for her and Shilo, who is in love with Little Bird, treats her like crap and Little Bird is oblivious to how angry Flame gets with her, even when Shilo points it out to her and-- (does it sound like I'm rambling on, because that's what the book is like.)
Now, I don't like writing bad reviews, but when I find a book like this with a reputed good author's name on the front, I feel like screaming.
I'm sorry if you're a die-hard Norah Hess fan, and you don't like this bad-mouthing, but this book truly deserves it.

I am a hard core Norah Hess fan and I have to say this book was totally awful. For starters the character names are so ridiculus that I had a hard time getting past that . Next there is no plot to speak of and the characters are completely 1 dimensional. Half way through the book you dont know anything to speak of about them and frankly you dont care. Please dont waste your time or money with this book. Norah Hess has some wonderful books out there unfortunetly this is not one of them.

Not one of Hess's best, May 7, 2000
This review is from: Snow Fire (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book actually has no plot, no suspense, and very poorly written. The outcome of each situation is so predictable as to delete any interest you may have. Storm and Flame have very little repore' and very little interaction. Then there is Shilo and Little Bird. One minute he hates her and the next he's crazy about her. When Shilo and Flame try to make Shilo and Little Bird jealous we never find out if Storm every actually understands what they were plotting. I felt as though I was reading a 5th grade pupil's writing. Norah Hess can do better than this.
