Book Description

Legendary Warriors July 3, 2001
A Passion Too Perilous Anna Wiley is determined not to show her fear to the bronze, breathtaking Cheyenne brave who led the attack on her westbound train. With twelve orphan children in her care, Anna must now trust the dangerous War Cloud to escort her small party to safety. But even more than his mesmerizing power and his legendary hatred of all whites, Anna fears War Cloud's raw sensuality -- and the wanting in his dark eyes that only inflames her own secret desires.

This woman is the enemy!Yet noble War Cloud cannot help but admire Anna's strength and courageous spirit, her kindness and gentle heart -- and he cannot ignore the burning feeling in the depths of his soul that she is his destined one. But how can he submit to the forbidden urge to hold her close, to taste the sweet honey of her kiss, when he knows that a centuries-old family curse could cruelly rob him of a bold and forever love?

About the Author

Karen Kay is praised by reviewers and fans alike for bringing understanding and insight into the everyday facets of the American Indian way of life, she credits that the discovery of her great-great grandmother, who was Choctaw Indian, did much to enhance the richness of her stories.

This is Karen Kay's eight title for Avon Books and the second title in the "Legendary Warriors" series. Her earlier titles include Wolf Shadow's Promise in the Legendary Warriors" series; Gray Hawk's Lady, White Eagle's Touch and Night Thunder's Bride in the "Blackfoot Warrior" series; and Lakota Surrender, Lakota Princess, and Proud Wolf's Woman in the "Lakota" series.

Says Kay, "With the power and passion of romance, I strive to bring to the reader an awareness of the vital and noble forces that once helped shape the American Indian culture into the powerful agent that it once was, that it still can be today. I firmly believe that through understanding, anything is possible."

4.0 out of 5 stars An Indian warrior fights his attraction for a white woman., July 28, 2001
This review is from: War Cloud's Passion (Legendary Warriors) (Mass Market Paperback)
Anna Wiley and another woman are bringing twelve children west to find homes. The search goes tragically awry when the train is attacked by Indians. A young Indian boy in chains is on this train. When his bullying captors shoot at the boy for fun, Anna hides him under her skirts and saves him. This action saves her and the children's lives, for the leader of the Indian war party is this boy's brother. War Cloud is initially blinded by his hatred of all whites. But soon he can't deny that Anna is a rare woman, and he is immensely drawn to her. He fights his passion, not just because Anna is white. His family has been under a curse for centuries. Women who marry into the family either leave... or die. As time goes on, he fears that should he take Anna to wife, he will be the instrument of her destruction. Even if you don't usually enjoy Indian romances, if you enjoy good writing, try this novel. You won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Native American Romance, July 4, 2001
This review is from: War Cloud's Passion (Legendary Warriors) (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1869 on the journey west to place the orphans in good homes in Hays, Kansas, New Yorker Mr. Bilsworth dies in Kansas City. Before passing away, the dedicated Bilsworth obtains a death bed pledge from Anna Wiley to finish their trek to find good homes for the children. After a period to insure no one else caught Mr. Bilsworth illness, Anna and the children board a train that includes a prisoner, the younger brother to the dangerous War Cloud. When the Indian eludes his jailers, the very tall Anna hides him under her long dress.

Her kind action proves fruitful when War Cloud attacks the wagon train she is now on and agrees to escort Anna and the children to a white community. As they journey together, Anna begins to learn the way of the Cheyenne and War Cloud starts to admire the bravery of the woman who he now believes will end the family curse. Still, he hesitates to tell her that he loves her, not just because she is white, but because he fears that if he is wrong about her the curse will devour his beloved.

WAR CLOUD'S PASSION is a passionate Native American historical romance that centers on adhering to one's values so love can overcome any obstacles. The story line starts slowly as Karen Kay paints the background dilemmas affecting the intrepid Anna. However, once War Cloud enters the tale, the plot explodes into a fast-paced, passionate Americana romance that will provide much gratification to sub-genre readers.

This is an absolutely brilliant story. It has depth, meaning and the characters are great. This story was written from the heart. Karen Kay is a great story teller.

I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable and one of the best books I have read in a long time. If you love Indian/American historical romances, this is the one! BUY IT.
