Early Kat - still good

As I understand it, this was Kat Martin's first novel. It is the story of a young woman, brought up by her strict military father in the "old west". She wants to experience life, other than at her father's fort. She switches places with her "almost identical cousin" who has fallen in love with a man that her father wouldn't approve of. Our heroine travels from Wyoming - to Utah - to Nevada - to California before her ruse is discovered. I honestly liked the characters - the hero was a white raised by the indians - and their interactions were at times very funny. The only thing I didn't like was the name dropping of historical figures. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Kat Martin - her writing then vs now is quite different, but this book showed she had (and has) a lot of promise.

Wonderful and Engaging

This book kept me up all night. The story was engaging and exciting. I would have given this book 5 stars, but the heroine was always resisting and then giving in to the hero during the love scenes. But, if you are looking for a hot, exciting, and spellbinding read then definetly read this book.

Magnificent Passage

This book is one of the finest books I've ever read!Mandy Ashton fled a stifling existence for the glittering social whirl of California's state capital, trading childhood's innocence for a woman's burning desire. It was risky, masquerading as her flighty cousin, Julia, but Mandy was hardly faint of heart - as she would prove time and again on a journey fraught with deadly adventure and sublime temptation.Travis Langly(Hawk in indian name) was a white man raised by the Cheyenne, making a difficult peace with his dual heritage. The last thing he needed was Julia, California Governor's spoiled daughter to chaperon. He thinks Mandy as Julia... But Mandy was spirited, captivating, and irresistibly sensuous... By journey's end, Mandy and Hawk were the helpless prisoners of a smoldering passion that nothing could kill - except, perhaps, the secret Mandy guarded so carefully throughout the arduous days, and ardent nights, of their long magnificent passage.I recommend this book for the readers who want savory and attractive dialogues of heroin and hero. The prologue of this book is very interesting! Especially, I will never forget the first meeting between Mandy and Travis. That scene is very beautiful and humorous!
