Review: Another great story...
Rating: 4 out of 5

I love this author and have read many of her books.  In this story, Carrie has lived with her aunt and uncle for over ten years since her parents died. She has a couple cousins that are not at all attractive. Carrie is engaged to a future doctor and one night he cancels their engagement.  He is to marry the ugly cousin because the aunt and uncle will pay for his education. Carrie is devastated. Then the aunt introduces Carrie to a 55 yr. old male cousin and insists she marry him or she is out on the street. Noah, the cousin is abusive, mean, hard and only wants Carrie so he gets an heir to his fortune. The new husband has an older son that is a half-breed Indian and, of course, Carrie likes him but he is sullen and has been disinherited due to his nationality. Hawk, the son, is torn between the two worlds of Redskin and being white.  As usual, this author has wonderful characters.  The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it seems to take forever for the two to actually talk to one another.  After Noah dies, he takes over a year to return to the ranch and that is only because his own Indian wife passes away.  I loved the story but it didn't come together soon enough for me.
