If you enjoy the "Indian man loves and hates that he loves the little white girl" stories then you may want to check this out. It was an entertaining, quick read. I liked the heroine Abby and found her to be a strong female lead. The hero Cat could have been a bit more developed, because I'm not entirely sure what Abby saw in him. I was more than a little frustrated with Abby's patience with his "I hate you white woman, but I want to make out with you, but I'm betraying my people and I  hate you, but I want to make out with you, but I'm half white so I really, REALLY have to hate you just to make a point". I sincerely wished Abby would look him straight in the eye and tell him to "S*** or get off the pot". Of course Abby would not tell him to "S*** or get off the pot" exactly in those words because this was most definitely a "for everyone, barely PG rated" story. Fans of sex, violence and cursing need to look elsewhere. The sex scenes were very chaste and faded to black, what little violence there was, was glossed over, and there was absolutely no cursing. I mean none at all. The reason I noticed is because there were several scenes where in my opinion robust and inventive cursing was highly called for. Hearing the hero satisfy himself with calling the bad guys "creeps" made me feel like I had just been thrown back into a movie from the 1950's. I also felt that many plot points were contrived and not particularly realistic; but that doesn't tend to bother me as I lump allot of fiction into the adult fairy tale category and accept that I am reading purely for entertainment. For all my nitpicks, I read it quickly and enjoyed it.
