I purchased this book realizing it would be something different for the author. Josie and Elu meet in a small town while Josie is on a vacation from her demanding mother and her noncommittal boyfriend, Carlton. Yeah his name is Carlton, I kept thinking of the actor from the Fresh Prince.Elu is Native American and he and Josie are brought together by an accident that leaves Josie without her memory. Josie and Elu connect and it's very sweet and emotional. They fall in love, but Josie has a boyfriend that she seems to have forgotten because of the injuries from her accident.Carlton arrives to find Josie and to finally give her what she wants, marriage. When he arrives he sees that he may have lost her.  He acts as he should, like a man that's hurt, jealous and in love.In the mean time the government is trying to take Elu's land through imminent domain. Josie fights to help him, even with the protests from her family and Carlton.Josie struggles with her love of Elu and Carlton. She has to decide which man her heart wants.This was a sweet story with a very good plot and it was easy to follow.Pros:Sweet charactersGrammarSome hot connectionsGreat detail about Native AmericansExcellent story within the storyCons:None really, it was just a little vanilla compared to her other books.  The hot take no prisoner type of alpha male wasn't there. Elu and Carlton were nice and sexy, but I didn't get the fire I'm used to reading from this author.Suggestions for other Native American Romances:Try Swirled Satin Sheets 1, NOT the 2nd book with the same title, by Author Tiana Laveen.  The last story in this book is about a Native American Romance with a black woman (Rayne) and Native American guy (Tyee). Very very very hot read.
