Summary: Excellent!!
Comment: Vacationing out West after her divorce from Representative Price, Miranda Price thought she would finally be able to get her private life back in order. She and her son, Scott, were on a tourist train ride and she was just as impressed as the other sightseers when the train robbers appeared. Little did she know that she and her son would be taken as hostages by the mysterious leader of this band of renegades.
Hawk O'Toole was a desperate man. Desperate to make life better for his people. So reluctantly, he agreed to kidnap Rep. Price's son.
I first read this book in 1988 when it was published as a Loveswept Romance and to this day it remains one of my favorites. I know it deals with a sensitive subject, kidnapping, but remember, this is a romance novel and it ends well. At no time was Miranda or Scott harmed.
I always wished this novel was more indepth and a longer read. Ms. Brown absolutely amazed me with this story. She was able to pack a powerhouse story into a short 198 page read. This fast paced read is definitely worth your time.

Summary: An 'okay' read...hero is too unlikeable....
Comment: This is a early book from Ms. Brown and written in the 80's for those out there who were curious. The hero was what made me not like this story as much as I would've.
He was very broody and unlikeable in his manner and personality. I think she was trying to portray him as being very mysterious and lost, but he just came off as mean and illogical.
His whole reason being that his father sold some land for money for the reservation and the people swindled him and closed down a silver mine that the reservation needed. The hero, Hawk, is determined to get it back, even if it means kidnapping a woman and her child to force the hand of the senator.
Hawk is so angry for the plight of his people that he mistreats the woman and pretty much emotionally abuses her simply because she is white. (Mind you, he isn't all Native American and he even went to a big college in the city so the hate doesn't make sense in the scheme of things.)
Miranda the heroine tries to explain to him that she isnt married to the senator any longer and they hate one another, so he wont help her. Hawk doesn't see it that way and continues on the collision course.
Love blooms between the two and they find themselves trying to save the mine and themselves.
It was an okay read, but Hawk's mistrust and downright hate for white people chilled the book to the point of a mutual hate for the hero from the reader. The ending didn't make him any better a person in my eyes and just confirmed my dislike. My sympathies are with Miranda and her son for putting up with the guy.

Summary: Should be titled "The Pathetic"
Comment: This is probably the worst of Sandra's books.
The kidnapper treats the kidnapped woman like garbage, calls her a slut, insults her motherhood and subjects her to even more mental cruelty and... she can't wait to "make a passionate love to him" in return. What a BS.
Quarter way into the book, not only will you know the ending but you'll be disgusted. Save your money - this one isn't worth a buck.
