Summary: Madeline Baker Delivers A Ten Star Novel!
Review: A page turner from page one, Madeline Baker pulls you into the story with the first written paragraph. Jesse Yellow Thunder, although, a half breed and bounty hunter, represents the best of both worlds. He is a man with morals and convictions and in his heart lies a deep sense of needing to be loved. His scarred face is a burried pain embedded deep in his heart. Kaylynn is a beautiful captive and when they meet, hearts entertwine and souls touch. She has never known love, although the terror and pain of an abusive husband. Together, they learn that love is a healing of the soul that can overcome any obstacle in their way.

Spirit Walker's poems were heart-rendering and held a depth of love that none can match. My compliments to a poet that wrote the word love in so many ways, it captured the heart of this reader!

Summary: a great book
Review: I enjoy every one of her books from start to end. I like this the more for a reason. Some time all people feel like yellow ulgy and not pretty, and at the end her got the girl.

Summary: I Loved It!
Review: I have a special interest for half-breeds like the character in this book, Jesse Yellow Thunder. The best tracker in the land falls upon a beautiful captive in the Cheyenne village. Immediately their souls touch with one look upon each other's face. Kaylynn, the captive, didn't mind so much being a captive - when compared to her abusive husband. She runs away from her husband, gets captured by the Cheyenne and finds the man of her dreams, Jesse Yellow Thunder. But, there's more to this handsome half-breed, there's another beautiful character, Ravenhawk. Just as beautiful, but on the wrong side of the law. He's interesting, and intriguing and gets into trouble most of the time. Ravenhawk and Yello Thunder, what a pair.. What a nice story.

The poems are something to marvel over. Beautiful. Compliments to SpiritWalker whose poems touch your heart.. A good read. Highly recommend reading this book.

Summary: I Loved It!
Review: I have read almost all Madeline's Baker's books. I really enjoyed the way this particular book grabs you from the first page and does not let go. Jesse Yellow Thunder was a hero with physical flaws, which was realistic. Not the typical "perfect" man. The story was a wild ride with an ending worth waiting for. Even though you can almost always predict love will triump, it's still great when it does.

Summary: Could've been great!
Review: This is the second book I've read by Madeline Baker.

Kaylynn Summers is a white woman, fleeing an abusive husband. She is captured and enslaved by Cheyenne Indians who treat her better than her husband. She is won in a horse race by Jesse who becomes her new 'owner.' What follows is a typical, 'run away until I realize I love you' style romance, with nothing but predictable villains, plot twists and ending.

I would really like to see Madeline Baker write a historical novel. Her talent really shines when writing about the Indians and their way of life. What didn't work in this novel, which is ironic, is the romance.

I found Kaylynn, a shallow superficial heroine, more concerned about her broken nails than anything else. The hero, Yellow Thunder was more worried about his scarred face than romancing the heroine. Both characters seemed to have a lot of 'growing up' to do. The only, vaguely appealing character was a minor character named Ravenhawk, who was quite a bit more interesting than Yellow Thunder.

For me, this book fails and disappoints, mainly because it is very close to what a good novel should be. If Madeline would only concentrate on making her main characters more mature and appealing, I would be an avid fan.
