This could have been stellar - brave pregnant doctor saved by the father of her child ... but it wasn't. Unlike the other books in this series, the author spent zero effort developing the relationship between the protagonists. We are supposed to believe the heroine loves a man who had an affair with her and dumped her because she's white (even though he's of mixed native and white blood). Then there's the fact that he's already married to his job. It defines him. And yet, this proud independent highly educated woman is willing to take anything he will give her after they are accidentally reunited over a corpse. We never learn why she cares for him, or he for her (if he does). The author would have us believe they would just fall into each other's arms after she gives birth (when he ignores her for a day after helping with the delivery, to the point that he gives riding lessons at a boys camp during that time). I just couldn't buy it. The storyline became offensive, with the heroine portraying the worst sort of "I have to have him no matter how I'm treated" female.
