Date: 09 7, 2013
Major Jonah Mackenzie has been sent to escort Aurora Crenshaw to Montana where she is to meet with her uncle who lives with the Crow and who is doing research on the Indians. Aurora is a spinster, decidedly stubborn and somewhat nave. Jonah Mackenzie is a half breed, tough, abrupt and has an impressive military background. he and Aurora have cross words at first of course as he believes that she is unfit to travel to Montana, but her stubbornness wins out and she proves him wrong. Jonah becomes infatuated with Aurora and she with him; however he has had too much experience with people who consider him unfit to be around the "whites" so he tries to avoid Aurora. Aurora recognizes that she has an attraction to Jonah but being a woman with no experience with men, she doesn't know how to approach the situation. Jonah's status of half breed does not play into her emotions; as Jonah's inhibitions fail where she is concerned and Aurora learns quickly how to influence Jonah sexually, their relationship spirals out of control. This is my second book by KW to read; I've enjoyed both immensely and I have purchased a third one by this same author.  The passionate interludes of her men and women carry an undertone of turbulent control at best but her stories also portray the human heart of the people involved as well. The history, prejudices and injustices experienced by the Indian people is presented well. If you like western historical romance, I believe this book lives up to it's description.
