Are you looking for a light, summer romance with a historical, frontier flair? Let me recommend this book to you. It is short, sweet, and a nice, little story. And I really like the fact that the author backs up much of what she wrote with historical fact.I enjoyed the two lovers, April and Dan. She is the strong, young frontier woman who holds a prejudice against Indians. And wouldn't you know that Dan is part-Indian and has another deep, dark secret she does not uncover until almost the end of the story? There is even a little intrigue to make the story even more exciting.I thoroughly enjoyed the writing of the book and much of the story, but I was a little disappointed when I read a mild bedroom scene that did not need to be there. I am glad that it was not detailed, but I wish with all my heart that the characters had not gone down that road. I was pleased that the profanity was at a bare minimum and really did not bother me.This is not meant to be a deep novel, and I am glad that the author deals with the issue Indian racism--something we do not often think about in this day and age. Approach this as a light read with a romantic story line, and I think you may find a book that can carry you through a warm summer night.I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
