At first it seemed a good story about the old west, full of indians and cowboys and all that golden land but soon I became lost on the plot. The hero was a jerk, full of himself and arrogant and the heroine, well, she was an independent woman until she found him...she rescues him and he treats her really bad in return. In his opinion, he's to "woman hungry" to resist her...well, it really shows the time the book was written: 1989. I guess that at that time this was very good, now is just an ok reading except for all the euphemisms. It took me a long time to realize the main plot of this book: gaining Lucifer (a horse). This book was originally written in 1990, and boy does it feel dated. You wouldn't think a book set in the old West could date so fast, but the hero feels like the villain in today’s book, the guy who made you feel bad about yourself and your body and everything you valued, that diminished you, and that the new hero would have to help you rebuild. He was just so awful to the poor heroine, and his insistence that she was no lady, barely a female, and the put downs he kept giving her, in order to 'protect her from his woman hunger' initially irritated me but them started to make me really sad at the thought that she would going to end up with him for the rest of her life. That he apologizes in the last 5 pages scarcely makes up for it. I liked the 'Only' series, but this book was just awful for me. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

No one who roamed the steep green mountains and red-rock canyons of Utah Territory was safe from El Cascabel and his renegade warriors - not Janna Wayland, not the wild stallion Lucifer - not even Ty MacKenzie, the stranger who had come for the stallion, and stayed to capture Janna's heart. Now all three must join forces and make their escape, or die trying. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The author was very good at setting a scene and building external tension. I thought the plot moved along nicely and if it weren't for the terribly cheesy, poorly written love scenes, I would have really enjoyed it.
These words were used beyond belief: savage, ecstasy, violent, elemental, incandescent, bursting. I think a good editor would have gone a long way toward improving this book.
All in all, a good read if you skimmed over the sex scenes (sad to say!). ( )
