Publisher's summary

A perilous pursuit...

Kate Love is an ambitious reporter on the trail of a swindler who has been preying on elderly Blacks. But when her investigation leads her into danger, she is snatched by Dix Wildhorse, a Black Seminole marshal from Oklahoman’s Indian country. Kate has no choice but to flee with the daring knight her father sent to rescue her. Despite the warm simmering fire Dix’s bronzed, muscled embrace ignites, she is determined to hold on to her independence, challenging him at every turn. Yet even as their battle of wills intensifies, the heat of their passion blazes with unmatched fury...a wildfire of love that can only be answered in the sweet ecstasy of surrender.

Excellent historical romantic novel

Thoroughly enjoyed this work. I learned so much about our history. It's exciting and wonderful to be part of this history as an American Black. loved Dix, Katherine, Miss Sunshine and Judge Parker.

Loved it!

I loved the book, but "Lor-ellie" drove me nuts! Let's make sure we pronounce names and words correctly.

another one

I can't seem to get enough of Beverly's story telling style. Her description of male rawness, yet honorable and skillful never ceases to entertain me.

Lor-ellie.

Couldn't get past Lor-ellie, it threw everything off. I bought Something like love also and had to check, and yes she calls her Lor-ellie in it also. Bummer 😕

Lorrelly

My only complaint regarding this audiobook is that I wish someone had corrected her pronunciation of the name Lorelei (Law*ruh*lie).

A Sweet and Fun Western Romp

I had a great time listening to this story for my book club. This is my second Beverly Jenkins and it was such fun. Dix and Katherine were at each other's throats but also it was light-hearted in a lot of ways. They start off with a bang and then hit the wagon trail together. This was kind of a Year-in-the-Life kind of tale. The beginnings of their marriage and the adventures they get in to.

Dix was a swoony hero and Kate was headstrong and fierce. They are both more into each other than they want to be and watching them come to terms with it was so beautiful.

The ending was a bit rushed and kind of felt like the whole kitchen sink was thrown in, but it didn't dim my enjoyment one bit.

I can't wait to read more of Jenkins beautiful stories.

Delightful

Love this book and the narrator did it justice. Have loved this book for numerous years, hearing it on audiobook didn't take away from how I have imagined the characters over 20 years.
