Great Book

I really liked this book. I have the copy from when it first came out and I've read it many time since then. I really like the books that Theresa Scott writes in this era, it's not a time that many authors write about and that makes it interesting. She does a good job explaining Falcon the main character and why he is the way he is. Just an all around good book.

A superb prehistorical romance!

This book is the best of prehistorical romance. I have a slightly older copy of the book, from a couple of years ago, and I can tell you all right now that this is superb reading, a story set 10,000 years ago in Ice Age North America.When Falcon's son was born sickly and twisted, and deformed, and later died, Hawk's happy marriage to his wife Tula turned sour and ended. Overwhelmed by grief and numbness, Falcon became a cold, hard warrior for his people, the Jaguars.Eventually, he feels the need to take another wife--not to love, but to merely warm his bedrobes at night and cook his food. He goes with other hunters to purchase women from another tribe, the Badgers. Even though Star, the heroine, tries to disguise herself as an old woman to escape notice, she is found out and forced to accompany the other brides back to the land of the Jaguars. Falcon lays first claim on Star, and she finds herself quickly married to an unfeeling stranger.Passion burns hot beneath the bedrobes, and for the most part, they get along. Star even falls in love with him. But the horrific and anguish-filled events from Falcon's past will not let him be. Can he save himself and keep ahold of Star before he loses her, too? Or will the dark depths of his own torment rise up and claim him again, before he can truly feel love once more? Read this book and find out!
