Rachelle Morgan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1998

Cait Perry has learned the hard way not to trust any man, so she's secluded herself in a cabin in the wild Montana mountains, with only her "cats" for company. But at times the curvaceous mountain woman longs for something--and someone--more than this lonely life she's built for herself. Then one day ruggedly handsome Ethan Sawyer walks into her secluded sanctuary, determined to capture a wild cougar that is threatening the nearby town. Although she tries to resist the virile hunter, Cait can't help falling prey to his embrace. Here is a man of courage, soul and passion, even if he's on the wrong side. Will his love be another trap, or will it finally free Cait from the past?

Editorial Reviews

Review

Hatred runs deep in the town of Roland, and no one was more aware of it than Ethan Sawyer. His heart aches every time someone brushes past him without so much as a nod of acknowledgement. His past actions lead to this ostracism, leaving the town believing him a coward and traitor. Ethan could not bear it, however, when the same treatment was suffered by his sister, who had only spoken in her brother's defense. Even Ethan's brother-in-law feels only contempt for his one-time friend. In an attempt to regain his good name, Ethan takes to the mountains in search of a dangerous mountain lion that has been preying on cattle. It is a job for which he is ill prepared, but it is the last chance he has to mend the past. Ethan's search for one wild cat, however, leads him to another - Wild Cat Cait, the Heathen of the Hills. But from where Ethan stands, Cait sure doesn't look like like a heathen. Oh, she is certainly of Indian descent, but she is also the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on. Her lithe body and shimmering eyes trap his heart as surely as her traps capture Ethan's body. With her quick wit and hot temper, she is more than Ethan's match. It takes Cait time to measure up this "hunter" of her beloved cats and what she sees is, perhaps, something tamer, more gentle in his nature. Both Ethan and Cait are at odds with the world. They are outcasts, driven to desperate measures. Ethan's one desire is to clear his name and earn the respect he deserves. Cait simply wants to live her life free from persecution and fear. They will face hungry cats and hunter's bullets. Becoming lovers is natural, but facing the world together is their greatest challenge. Wild Cat Cait is a tight-fisted romance that allows a woman's strength and a man's gentleness take center stage, something you don't find often in a western romance. With tenderness, Rachelle Nelson's latest book pulls your heart through a mountain range of emotions.Rachelle Nelson's Wild Cat Cait is wild and tender! A sensational mix of emotions! A man with a heart of gold...a woman forged from steel! Rachelle Nelson's latest mix is profound. A story as beautiful as the mountains that created it! A love as bright as tiger eyes!

This review is from: Wild Cat Cait (Mass Market Paperback)

I did not get the sense that Ethan Sawyer was this strong, no nonsense type of hero. I found the story boring at times and couldn't wait to get through it. I didn't care for the ending either which I won't give away.

This review is from: Wild Cat Cait (Mass Market Paperback)

In 1887, high in the Montana mountains, lives WILD CAT CAIT accompanied by her friends, the wild felines. Cait trusts no man as they have spent her entire life hurting and betraying her, which is why she lives the life of a hermit.

Everything abruptly changes when the nearby town sends a group of men to hunt down a murderous mountain lion. Cait, protecting her pets, catches one of the hunters Ethan Sawyer, who has chosen a lonely life because of his acrimonious distrust of people. However, the attraction between Cait and Ethan is too big to ignore and soon the two solitary souls unite in love as they walk down the middle between vengeful townsfolk and a killer cat.

WILD CAT CAIT is a unique, sensual western romance that will generate much positive attention towards author Rachelle Morgan, and her previous and future works. The story line is refreshingly environmental without lecturing the audience on our shortfalls. However, it is the lead couple, who prove th! at it takes two to make the soul completewho move the readers, leaving the audience crying and and laughing, while clamoring for this awesome talent's next novel.
