Lusa is a strong willed and beautiful half breed. She is torn between the traditional Choctaw ways and the new white man ways. She will do anything to protect her brother who has been convicted of murder and is on the run. Talako is a strong willed lighthorseman (Indian lawman) bound by honor and duty to track down Lusa's brother to be sure he is executed for his crime. Talako has had a sad past and has learned not to trust woman. He has reason not to trust Lusa; but, is helpless to fight against his growing passion/desire for Lusa. Together they end up tracking Lusa's brother (Talako to bring him back for justice; Lusa to do whatever it takes to prove his innocence or save him from certain execution). This story is a battle of wills between Talako and Lusa on every page. It is about the struggle between Talako's honor and Lusa's loyalty to her brother. Love between them grows even in this struggle. This was a hard book to put down (I read it in a few evenings).

Georgina Gentry is the best at what she does! The research and notes to the reader in the back of each book are as enjoyable as the book itself!

This is the first book for this author I have read. However, after 60 pages, I can't bear to read anymore. The reading level has to be about 2nd grade. She uses the same adjectives over and over. Often, they are used inappropriately. The father is described as a lion at least 10 times. The hero is described as a "brute" several times when we are not noticing his "wide shoulders". The heroine is murmuring "Damn". While in court, the prosecutor "rubbed his chin thoughtfully" several times while the heroine "gave an encouraging nod" which her brother give her later in the book. The heroine is supposedly devastated about her baby brother being charged with murder but yet she stands there dreaming about all the places she wants the hero to touch her. Her metaphors and analogies have been used 1000 time before. "She was as wet as a soaked kitten". Don't waste your time on this one unless you want to learn what not to do when you read a book! There are a lot of excellent books out there but this is not one of them.
