Summary: I loved it!!
Review: "Captive" is wonderful. James McKenzie could be my captor any day. The story was not only exciting, but romantic. Teela is just the right captive to tame the wild side of James "Running Bear" McKenzie. "Captive" crosses culture as well as boundaries. It is intriguing and filled with excitement. James is a product of both worlds, therefore, he is twice as good. Oh and fans "Captive" updates us on Jarrett McKenzie, James' brother and Jarrett's wife, Tara. I read "Captive" a year or so ago, but just writing this review makes me want to read it again!

Summary: James and Teela will make you Captive to their tale
Review: Heather Graham makes her characters and the story come alive. From James and Teela's first meeting sparks fly. You just don't want to put the book down waiting for their next encounter. Definately one of her best.

Summary: The ONLY Heather Graham/Shannon Drake book I enjoy
Review: Heather Graham's books are all so alike that I recognised her writing as Shannon Drake before I even knew they were the same person. Her half-breed indian books always go something like:
Brawny Hero: "You hate me because I'm an indian."
Simpering female: "um...what?" as she tries to distract herself from his massive muscles and tanned skin. Of course this never works because he ususally wrestles her forcibly into bed and practically rapes her- but don't worry- she enjoys it in the end. I can't say Captive was any different from her other books, but it was done so much better. For one, it was actually romantic, and I could see (without having to be told) that the characters attracted to each other. Amazingly enough, I found Teela rather compelling- no she was no rocket scientist, but that's really to much to expect from Shannon Drake- er- Heather Graham. The thing that annoyed me the most about the book is the reappearence of some of her previous characters. It's been,like, thirty years and they still look like they're twenty? Please. If Ms. Graham can't bear to age her characters, she shouldn't add them into her books. If you're going to read any of Heather Graham's books, read this one. It's decent, the only decent one that I've read.

Summary: Trite beyond all possible belief
Review: I love romance novels. I read them for entertainment and escape. Unfortunately the only thing entertaining about this book was flinging it across the room so I could escape from it. I have read other of Ms. Graham's books and loved them. Unfortunately, Teela left me actively wanting to slap her simpering miss self. UGH. I couldn't believe the same author that wrote _Tall, Dark, and Deadly_ let this drivel ooze out of her pen.

Summary: Worth Reading!
Review: James McKenzie is still grieving over the lose of his wife Naomi and daughter to disease and feels like his soul was buried with them. He has thrown himself completely into the confict between the Army and the Seminole Indians with no distractions until that one evening when his sister-in-law, Tara has convinced him to stay for a birthday party at Camaron for his brother Jarrett. (1 of my favorite scenes in the book!) After dressing in his finest, he spends time reflecting while staring into the fire place putting his back to the staircase..... Teela Warren is the step-daughter of the notorious Indian hater and military officer Michael Warren. She, herself, has been forced to live a strict military life, as well as received the blunt end of the whip at times when she has not conformed to her step-father's way of thinking. Having been brought by force from her home in Charleston with military escort to join Warren, Teela is to meet him on the neutral grounds of Camaron. As a guest at Camaron, she has been asked to join the celebrations of the evening. Dressed elegantly, Teela stops at the end of the staircase to admire the gentleman whom has his back to her thinking it is her host, Jarrett McKenzie- until he turns around and their eyes meet... Hey, I felt like I was there in the room with them. I enjoyed the book and it was a lot of fun reading more of Tara and Jarrett. I have already read Rebel and wished I had not skipped Captive. I highly recommend reading this series in sequence - I think you will enjoy the characters even more. Good Readin!!!

Summary: An Indian who can fight through anything. Except...
Review: James McKenzie's wife is dead but his daughter Jennifer, lives. A man who slaughter's Indians has sent for his step-daughter. From the moment James layed eyes on her at a party the fires were lit, but were slowed and almost burnt out when he found her real identity. The book was excellent and you would sit turning the pages just waiting to see what would happen next, or at the next meeting of the two as they slowly fall in love with each other.
