It falls a little flat...

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2008

Miranda, a painfully proud young woman (who happens to be the daughter of the commanding officer of the local fort) finds herself in a sticky situation: she has been captured by the local Cheyenne, and given as a gift to Rattling Blanket, an old woman who has trouble caring for herself. Her pride refuses to let Miranda do anything except sit and pout, and demand to be taken back to the fort. However, the girl has eyes and slowly falls for Shadow Walker, the young warrior who captured her in the first place and who takes it on himself to show her the Cheyenne way.

Honestly, this book was not that great. It was fun, but not at all believable. Apparently all it takes for Miranda and her captor to fall in love is a week-long trip in which Shadow Walker swings between trying to show tough love (for which Miranda resents him), and showing outright compassion (which just plain confuses the girl). Stockholm syndrome much?

Teens - especially young teens - may like this book; anyone with a little more sense than hormones will find it to be, again, unbelievable. It had potential if it were a full-length romance novel, but as it is, it falls far short of the mark. I can only hope the rest of the line makes up for what this offering lacks.

A pretty good new book from the Avon True Romance series.

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2002

Eighteen-year-old Miranda Thurston is the daughter of U.S. Cavalry Major Charles Thurston. Miranda's mother died in childbirth, and as her father's only reminder of his beloved wife, she has been overprotected her whole life. Although she has grown up on the frontier, she doesn't believe the rumors about Cheyenne raiding parties. She sneaks away from Fort Walters to visit a friend's ranch and finds herself captured by Shadow Walker, a Cheyenne warrior. Shadow Walker was orphaned at a young age in a raid by white soldiers. Now the soldiers have captured his uncle, and Shadow Walker wants revenge. He is dismayed to find that his captive is just a young girl, who will be of little use to him. When Miranda rebels at every turn, Shadow Walker takes her on a journey into the wilderness to teach her a lesson. But on that journey, captor and captive discover feelings for each other that they never would have expected.

This was a pretty good book, but it was probably the weakest in the Avon True Romance series. The ending was too abrupt -- it should have been longer and more developed. The story did keep my interest the whole way through, but ultimately I found the love story to be rather unbelievable. Still, I would recommend this book to teens who have enjoyed previous books in the series and want to read the entire collection.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2005

I absolutely loved this book! I always thought native american indians were cool. Most people like cowboys... or soldiers. I like indians. This is about a girl, Miranda and a warrior, Shadow Walker. Miranda is very stubborn and she always thought the Cheyenne were cruel and barbaric. She was the daughter of Major Thurston and of course thought a certain way about the Cheyenne. When she is captured by Shadow Walker on her way to a ranch, she thinks she will be killed. Little did she know he had no intention to kill her. In the beginning she refuses to do anything, she thought of herself as a prisoner, but not a worker. So Shadow Walker took her on a journey, she did not no where, and even he, did not really know where. In the beginning she thinks that Shadow Walker is a barbaric, selfish killer. But gradually, unexpected feelings arise as she truly gets to know him. Yes, the Cheyenne killed some innocent people. But the american soldiars too killed with no mercy. They soon grow to love each other. He had told her a lot about himself, and she told him about herself in return. But she kept one thing from him, that she was the daughter of a Major. Which threatened the safety of Shadow Walker's tribe. Eventually, Shadow Walker finds out that Miranda is the daughter of a Major of an american army. He had shared so much of who he was with her, but she had kept this from him, so of course he was very upset. Does he forgive her? Or does he not?

Quite the charming romance

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2002

Miranda Thurston has had a very sheltered childhood. Being the only child of an U.S. Calvary officer she is the only reminder to her father of her dead mother. You can say Miranda is a bit naive, for after repeated warnings, and living on the frontier, Miranda never believed there was much danger to the news of Cheyenne raids, that is until she herself is captured by a Cheyenne warrior named Shadow Walker. Shadow Walker is a respected warrior to the Cheyenne and after his uncle got captured in a raid he was out to revenge and was quite disappointed to find that he had only managed to capture a worthless girl. Soon though he begins to realize this isn't one normal girl, but a defiant one as she rebels against him any chance she has. Frustrated, Shadow Walker begins her into the wilderness of the forest to teach her lessons. Little are both prepared for the feelings that will surface between the two of them. I felt that this is probably one of the weakest Avon True Romances. It is still a nice book to sit down and read.

Likeable but short

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2003

Miranda Thurston has always been willful and stubborn but one day that leads to her capture at the hands of a renowned Cheyenne warrior named Shadow Walker. For a long time Miranda refuses to follow any orders no matter what Shadow Walker does but they eventually take a liking to each other. Much still stands in the would be couple's way especially the fact that Miranda is still Shadow Walker's captive.
This book has a few flaws but I liked it in spite of them. The beginning of the book is very rushed and Miranda isn't likeable at all in the beginning. The pacing and Miranda's characterization improve quickly though. I really enjoyed the plot of this book and I adored Shadow Walker. I felt that the animosity between the Indians and the white men was downplayed quite a bit but that is understandable considering this is a teen romance. The only thing that keeps this from being a really great book is it's length. I prefer my books to be meatier than 197 pages. Still the book is well worth your time.
