Summary: 1 Stars
Natalie Vallance might be Nan Ryan's angriest romance heroine ever. She was also a bit vindictive and stubbornly refused to see any one else's view but her own.
Hero Kane was just a little better. He was a bit too cocksure, and loved to tease Natalie because she was always prickly.
Kane saves Natalie from certain death from Apaches at a stagecoach stop. That night both believe they will perish so they make love. The next day the army comes to the rescue and Kane, who had been in custody, is taken away in chains. Judge Natalie has a rude awakening when Kane is called into her court room to answer for murder charges. He is cleared but very distressing to Natalie is the deed that Kane shows the court that he won fairly from her deceased husband. It is of sacred burial land that once belonged to her. Unbeknownst to Natalie, her husband gambled some of her land away that was filled with gold.
Kane intends to stay in Colorado. Natalie believes he is there solely to torment her. She blames him for her loss of control the night they made love. Natalie is a world class blame shifter. She has a fiancé, Lord Ashlin Blackmore, who is morally repugnant in almost everyway, he even goes so far as seducing a mentally handicapped girl. This was hard to read and the fact that no one was suspicious of Blackmore's actions was even harder to absorb.
Natalie believes the worst of Kane, even when her Uncle whom she respects praises his character, she is undaunted in her hatred. She is immensely angry and even turns into a bit of a tease just to get back at Kane. This is, of course, his fault too. Everything he does irritates her and it was not until the last few chapters that we ever see her kind to Kane.
Kane loves to rile her and this got tiresome. He tried too hard. He never played hard to get until the last few chapters. Only then did Natalie take notice of him.
Natalie must keep Kane away from hidden gold in the mountain. She has promised her adopted Indian father that no man would steal the gold. Kane finds it and the last chapters of the book are really a race between Natalie, Kane and others to capture the gold. Neither the fate of the gold nor of the lovers held my attention.
