Arrow in the Snow (Silhouette Desire, No 747)

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing.
Review: Marisa Hancock, a property and land grants attorney from Maine, is brought in at the last minute to represent the federal government seeking to take land from the Seminole Indians, land containing ancient graves. Jackson Bluewolf, Blackfoot founder of Natives for Nature, is in Florida as a consultant for the Seminoles. Marisa's whole life is the law, she never expected to fall in love with Jack. But when the Indian Affairs representative is caught trying to bribe the opposition lawyer, he claims Marisa was behind it, angering Jack who is convinced she was using him.

An interesting premise, Indian rights and heritage vs. government desires, is lost in the romance. Unfortunately, the romance is also flawed by Jack's actions after the bribery attempt. Jack pushes the relationship, yet doesn't trust whites or "suits". Marisa is both. The set-up is shaky. And where is there a Blackfoot reservation in Oklahoma?
