Summary: Apache Runaway
Review: I was really impressed with this book...It kept you on your toes...I enjoyed it so much I read it in one setting...I'm usually a big Cassie Edwards fan...but I've decided to put my Cassie Edwards books aside and have ordered numerous Madeline Baker books...I am currently reading Chase The Wind which is a sequel to Apache Runaway...I'm sure I will enjoy Chase the Wind as much as I enjoyed Apache Runaway....

Summary: A great first half...but not Baker's best.
Review: The story got off to an exciting start - Jenny Braedon has been the captive of an Apache tribe and forced to be the second wife of their chief, Kayitha. One day, Ryder Fallon, a half Cheyenne, is also captured by the same tribe and held in their camp to be tortured after he was caught leading an Army group through their territory. Ryder survives the torture and is forced to be the chief's first wife's slave. The depiction of the Apache life and the daily struggles that Jenny and Ryder faced seemed very real and compelling, and their blossoming relationship had me hanging on each page. However, once they escape the Apaches, the book really disappointed me. There are a series of misadventures that follow - to include coping with the fact that Jenny already is married to Hank Braedon and feels she must return to him. Some scenes just seemed pointless - such as when Ryder gets picked up by some bounty hunters and the whole matter is resolved by the end of the same chapter. Madeline Baker has a great writing style - she makes her characters seem very real. This book started out very promising, but just didn't hold me until the end. I found myself skimming over parts just to get the book over with.

Summary: I couldn't put it down!!
Review: This book has everything that makes great books great. It had love, romance, murder, hate, excitement and suspense. I really could not put this book down. I wanted to know what would happen next. Madeline Baker is a great romance writer in the truest sense. Apache Runaway is a must read, because it is Indian romance at its best!!!
