LOVED IT

i love this book and i recommend it, it has lots of action. and i love matt and jade they are great characters. i do have one problems. The way the Indians were portrayed in the book is awful. i know they had good reason to hate the white people, i might not agree that its honorable to kill a white man to bring yourself honor. but my problem was that they showed the indians as if they were ALL savages and that is NOT true. in the book all the indians worked together against the whites, and there were many indians who were peaceful and did not fight whites unless they were attacked by them. It doesnt matter your sex or race there are bad people in all colors just as there are bad indians there are bad whites and blacks. your color has nothing to do with it. But despite the unfair way the indians were portrayed it was a great bok

Jade Carrington was not left with much choice when one of the King's men attacked her. She knew the only way to defend herself was to kill her attacker. Now Jade must face her punishment. She was to be auctioned as a slave.Matthew Hunter knew that he would pay whatever it took to win Jade. Unfortunately, Matt was not the only one that wanted Jade. The Frenchman that Matt outbid had every intention of having Jade whether he won the auction or not. Matt and Jade rode deep into the wilderness where they not only had to stay hidden from the Frenchman, but also from the Indians who were planning an attack of the white people.Matt and Jade face many dangers as the struggle to survive in the wilderness and at the hands of the enemies. Their strength, honor, and love get them through the worst. The story of Matt and Jade is about survival and so much more. The danger keeps you on edge from page to page. This is a book I do not hesitate to recommend.
