Book Description

July 24, 2001
Kathleen Eagle's compelling novels of unexpected love and powerful passion have touched the hearts of countless readers. Now, this award-winning writer has created her most unforgettable novel yet -- a tale about the love between a man and a woman of very different backgrounds, who find common ground in their determination to do what's right ... discovering love despite all the odds.

Kole Kills Crow . . . his name was once on everybody's lips and his determination to fight for the rights of Native Americans -- combined with his movie-star good looks -- had once made him a media darling. Women loved him, and the television cameras couldn't get enough of him. But after a disastrous brush with the law and the tragic death of his wife and child, Kole left it all behind. He'd been betrayed by his closest friend, and he knew that the "accident" that had befallen his family was really meant for him ... so he dropped so far out of sight that it was as if he'd never existed at all.

As a reporter, Heather Reardon has learned to expect the unexpected ... and to look for the truth behind the masks so many of her subjects wear. For years she's been seeking to discover the truth about Kole's disappearance, but when she finally finds him in a run-down bar, she is shocked that the outspoken hero of her idealistic fantasies claims he wants nothing to do with his colorful past. But Heather knows that he's lying....

Soon, animosity gives way to unexpected passion, bringing Kole and Heather ever closer together. She is determined to turn him back into the man he had once been -- proud, fierce, and afraid of nothing. Then the time comes for Kole to reclaim his place in the public eye as he encourages his friends to take a stand for what they believe is right.

At first, they're just a ragtag group of Native Americans who have banded together to travel from the isolation of the reservation to the bright lights of Los Angeles. But as the small group travels across the land, they gain support along the way. Kole, thrust back into the spotlight, must face down the demons that have haunted him. And Heather must make the decision of her life -- can she stay at the side of a man who will never be completely hers?

You Never Can Tell is a story for anyone who believes that love can overcome all the odds. It's a book you'll never forget.

From Publishers Weekly

Kole Kills Crow is a perfect romance hero brooding, dangerous, "other" cast in the same mold as a gypsy from the wild moors, or a rogue who is no longer received in Charleston. Kills Crow is a hero of the Native American movement, a terrorist according to the law and possibly a murderer. Now he lives like a fugitive, holed up in a remote cabin, until he is discovered by journalist Heather Reardon. Sexy and feral as his wolf-dog, he possesses an unpredictable cruel streak balanced by a dash of tenderness and sensitivity he is also a maker of fine, highly prized flutes. Once Heather locates him in a honky-tonk, she inveigles him into dancing with her and then convinces him to let her into his life so she can tell his story. "This would be more than an interview. She believed him to be one of a rare breed, maybe even a dying breed of men... a true champion of the people." Thus begins a long tease. There is much inane, double-entendre conversation as the two move inevitably through mistrust to lust to true love. Along the way, there are political issues to settle, and a quest for fairness for Native Americans leads to an intense climax under the Hollywood sign above Los Angeles. Eagle (What the Heart Knows; The Last Good Man) won't disappoint her fans with this spicy, fast-paced tale. (Aug.)Forecast: With more than 35 books to her credit and several awards for her romances, Eagle has a solid following. The political aspect of her latest doesn't overshadow the romance and may increase her readership. National print advertising, a four-city author tour and a teaser chapter in the paperback of The Last Good Man are planned.

From Library Journal

When freelance journalist Heather Reardon heads for the wilds of northern Minnesota in search of the legendary Kole Kills Crow, a Native American activist and fugitive who has purposely dropped out of sight, she has more than just a journalistic interest that his story be told. Not only is he one of her heroes from way back but he is also the father of her seven-year-old goddaughter, whom he will never see unless he deals with his violent and dangerous past. But it isn't until Kole sees a revealing video clip that he reluctantly realizes that he must face his demons if he ever is going to be free. Politics, murder, and betrayal are all part of this sensual, involving spin-off of The Last Good Man (Avon, 2000), which nicely blends romance and activism. Noted for her especially well-drawn heroes and sensitive treatment of Native American issues, Eagle is a RITA-award winning writer and lives in the Minneapolis area.

2.0 out of 5 stars I can tell!, June 19, 2002
I'm sorry to say that this is one of Kathleen Eagle's less interesting books. I've read them all and enjoyed them, especially as the world she writes about, Native Americans today, is considered honestly and seriously, so the reader is enlightened. This latest one, however, seems to be more concerned with filling us in on the siutation with all Native Americans rather than with the story of Heather and Kole. Heather, a world-class journalist, sets out to get his story. She meets this elusive character so easily, in the first chapter, it's laughable. There is no real tension or relationship between the characters, no real depth. They just seem to be mouthpieces for the Native American Indian Movement. I was sorely disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful read, July 29, 2001

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: You Never Can Tell (Hardcover)
Heather Reardon is a writer on a mission. She is searching for Kole Kills Crow, a Lakota fugitive with a story to tell. Years ago, Kole was an activist for the Native American cause, trying to make things better for his people. But he dropped out of sight after the death of his wife and his escape from prison.

After Heather discovers Kole in a northern Minnesota bar, her life is forever changed. For she follows the hero of her dreams to his cabin where she begins to know him as the man shaped by the hardships he has endured. Heather and Kole embark on a cross-country journey to other reservations, gathering supporters for their journey to Hollywood, where they plan to make a stand against the bias of the entertainment industry against Native Americans.

Heather struggles to keep her personal attraction for Kole separate from her desire to write his story. And Kole tries to prevent an emotional attraction to Heather, a white woman who has put a dent in his hardened heart.

The banter between Heather and Kole is wonderful, ripe with innuendos and very quick-witted. Their relationship goes very deep, first beginning as purely physical, but gradually changing into an enduring ability to trust each other even in adverse circumstances. For a wonderful read proving that love can transcend anything, YOU NEVER CAN TELL can't be beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well written, July 26, 2001
This review is from: You Never Can Tell (Hardcover)
Free lance reporter Heather Reardon finds Kole Kills Crow, known for defying the South Dakota National Guard, in a local bar in the Minnesota backwoods. The journalist searched for the recluse to hear his side of the story of what happened in prison after he was convicted of kidnapping during the Guard incident. Just before his sentence ended, Kole fled prison when another American Indian standing near him is killed. Kole and Heather talk with her explaining that she spoke with people from his past such as the actor Barry Wilson, Kole's former mentor. Barry left the cause for Hollywood, allowing Kole to take the rap for the South Dakota incident.

Though he says he is only a flute maker, she and a Native American reporter persuade Kole to lead a Native American rights March on Hollywood to provide a more accurate picture of the American Indian. Along the way, Kole and Heather fall in love even as other American Indians join the march and other people want Kole dead so their exploitation can continue.

Best-selling and award winning author Kathleen Eagle provides readers with an exciting ethnic romance that showcases the modern day American Indian. The story line is very exciting, but it is the charcaters, especially the lead duo who turn YOU NEVER CAN TELL into a classy reading experience. As usual Ms. Eagle demonstrates with this novel that you can tell why books like THE NIGHT REMEMBERS and THE LAST TRUE COWBOY are so popular with readers.
