Summary: Save your money and don't bother
Comment: I think I was especially appalled by this book because I used to be a fan of Ms. Johnson's work. I have enjoyed the Braddock / Black series in the past and although the love scenes have been intense, I still feel her books could be called a romance. Not so with this book. Flynn Ito, the 'hero' is a misogynist bastard. When the heroine, Jo is brutally raped, he can't quite bring himself to touch her. When she asks him to hold her in comfort, he turns her down. He needs time, you see, to assimilate all this, and can't bring himself not to blame her 'just a bit' for the rape. To add further insult to our intelligence, when he comes to his senses and tracks her down, Jo takes him back and forgives him. I personally was infuriated by this storyline. I found it sick, and I think Ms. Johnson has forgotten why women read romances. They are an escape. If I want to read about women being raped and further abused by the system, I will pick up a newspaper. To be fair, I have loved some of her other books. "The Outlaw" is on my keeper shelf. Ms. Johnson, a former art historian, is in many ways a brilliant writer. She should write a courtroom thriller, and leave the romance genre to those who understand it. If you want an intense sexy romance, read Lori Foster or Lisa Kleypas. The negative message toward women in "Forces of Nature" was so disturbing, I myself have bought my last Susan Johnson book.

Summary: dreadful ghost of her former self
Comment: What happened to the wonderful stories intertwined with history that Susan Johnson is known for writing? I am extremely disappointed in this book. I purchased it because several people had stated in their reviews that this was a return to her former writing. Alas, it is not. The story is disappointing and should not be connected to her former stories of Hazard, Trey and Daisy. There is a distinct lack of plot, I was not able to connect with the characters. Hazard and Blaze were not the same strong personalities as in the former books. I think that this will be the last book by Susan Johnson that I purchase. It is sad to see an author of her talent publish this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: ONE OF MS JOHNSON BETTER BOOKS
Comment: I have to agree that this is more in line with Ms Johnson's earlier works. The plot is fairly believable, although I'm not sure that either Flynn or Hazard would have sent Jo back to Helena on a stage. That leaves to great an opportunity for one of their enemies to get to her.
I will also warn the faint of heart that there is a brutal scene between Jo and the men of the Empire Cattle Company. This is graphically written so use caution.
If you want hot love scenes and a great romance then this is your book. I will also caution to keep the kleenex handy.
