I enjoyed The Shaman's Temptation, a short but steamy romantic novella. The heroine, Madeleine Greenway, a bank analyst, visits an Apache reservation as part of her research to determine whether her bank should approve an investment. The people of the tribe are planning to open a casino, which they hope will improve their financial situation. Madeleine meets Tak, a sexy Apache who appears to have some paranormal abilities. They share dreams of one another, and their attraction is instant and powerful.Although Tak has sworn celibacy, it doesn't take long before his feelings for Madeleine tempt him to break his vow. They become involved in a relationship, but there are difficulties. Although Madeleine is drawn to Tak's love of nature and devotion to his people, her own lifestyle is very different from his. Besides, she may have bad news for his tribe when she learns more about their plans for financing the casino.The story is beautifully told, with lyrical passages and plenty of eroticism. I liked the touch of Native American mysticism, which fit into the story well, without being overpowering. I read The Shaman's Temptation in one sitting, turning the pages avidly, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys hot, romantic novellas.
