Summary: First Gentry book I've read that's fallen flat
Review: I at first liked this book as it went into how Emma and Rider first met but after a few more chapters this book really fell flat where her other books flew. I really did not like how Rider treated Emma as I got further into the book. He's supposed to be falling in love with her but to me it seemed as though all he ever really wanted was sex, I mean thats the only reason why she was allowed on the wagon train to begin with because he was "allowed" by the others on the train to take his pleasure with her. I mean he tries to rape her twice in the book. He is rude, obnoxious and doesn't even take Emma's feelings in to consideration. I also think that Josh's character isn't written deeply enough he could have brought a lot more to the story but Gentry only touches on him breifly using him as a bridge to get Rider and Emma together. He is such an intresting character but is made to be so shallow and unimportant. I hope like many others that their is a book written about him when he is older which will bring more depth and emotion to his character and also show his feelings on what it is like to be a product of rape and maybe him finding out about his Cheynnne roots. All in all I give this story only two stars because it's plot was not well thought out but its characters were somewhat intresting and the love scenes once consentuial were well written. I only hope if a sequel for Josh is written that it will have more depth and its characters will be better behaved and have more morals.

Summary: Loved This Book - Wish it had been longer!!
Review: I have never agreed with anyone as much as I agree with the reviewer from Arkansas. This author used to be one of my favorites, but this book wouldn't have a chance at being published by an unknown. I have about 50 pages left, but I'm tempted to stop reading. I've gotton to the point where I roll my eyes everytime the same phrase or thought keeps getting repeated. Most of the time, I don't even like Rider and Emma (the hero and heroine of this story), and that makes it VERY hard to get into the story. Apparently, this author has gotten so popular, that her editors no longer even look at her stuff, which is a pity. They could have shaved about 50 pages of repeated junk. Emma tells Rider that she loves him three times within the span of a few pages, and then thinks to herself "She loved this man, she knew it now, though she didn't speak the words, knowing he feared commitment." ?????? It was as if she wrote a few pages at a time, then went back weeks or months later and finished the chapter, not bothering to go back and see what was written. A shame, really, since I know how good her writing can be.

Summary: enchanting
Review: I have to admit that I started reading this book once before and I couldnt get into it,BUT a few months later I thought I should give it another chance. I regret putting the book down the first time I attempted to read it. I truely enjoyed reading of Rider, Emma and Josh. The way Rider was always there when she needed him. She put up a fight at first but her feelings for Rider just got stronger. I pratically did no work at my job, I just couldnt put the book down. I give this book 5 stars. I agree with one of the reviewers, I would love to read up on Josh as a grown man. Him being Cheyenne but raised as Shoshoni. I think it would be interesting.

Summary: I HAVE TO AGREE ...
Review: I have to agree with some of the others, this book was far from Georgina Gentry's better works. Although I liked the heroine, Emma, I could not feel the same way for the hero, Rider. I found him obnoxious and down-right disgusting at times. I never felt like I was reading a real love story. Had this not been by one of my favorite authors, I would have not finished it. The secondary characters were also obnoxious and rude and I could not find anything to like about them. I have read almost all of Ms. Gentry's books and this one is at the bottom of the list. It definitely is NOT a keeper!

Summary: Loved this Book!
Review: I love books on wagon trains.Had trouble putting this book down! Read it in two days.I have read other Georgina Gentry books before and was pretty familiar with her writing. I like the characters in this book, and the way the plot played out.If you purchase this book, you won't be wasting your money. I hope she writes a book in the future on Josh. That should be interesting!! Keep up the good work!

Summary: Loved This Book - Wish it had been longer!!
Review: It was one of those "hard to put down" books. Read it in 2 days.
The only complaint I have is that I wish there had been a little more detail and thus a longer book. Would love to read a follow up on Rider and Emma, and maybe another one on Josh.

Summary: got a great beat, but ya cant dance to it
Review: The plot is definitely there, but I was not enthralled by the writing style. Too many things were repeated. Phrases, thoughts, cliches, and subplots. I got the feeling that this story was written quickly with very little reworking for clarity. Beyond that, the story was enjoyable, if not predictable. It just requires that you look past all the redundancies.
