Another Magnificent Love Story from Janet Dailey

All her life,cool, beautifu Sheila got what she wanted. Now she yearned for the raw passion of a man beyond her reach, a violent mysterious outlaw whose followers adored him. A lion of a man who held her for ransom-a man who would trade her for a fortune in gold. But Shelia wanted only him-with all the reckless longing her body and soul.

Touch the Wind

I loved this story. I have read it several times. I had read it in the past and lost my copy of it so reordered it. I would like to see Janet Dailey write another book and let us know what happened to the Rafraga? After all he was wanted by the law. She left it up in the air. However I still loved the story.

Great read!

I was riveted from the beginning till the end of the book. It's a pity that Sheila had to learn the lesson about men the hard way when her newly-married husband turned out to be a jerk. I like Laredo, the American outlaw who joined the Mexican bandits. His whimsies about home, about eating cherry-topped sundae was really touching. You can actually feel his emotion, how much he missed home, and yet unable to return because he was a wanted man. I like Rafaga too, the outlaw leader, who was a very charismatic man. His mistress committed a crime which amounted to punishment, and despite his heavy heart and sadness, he continued on with the punishment. Sheila, the Texan heiress, was rather petulant, for me. But I admire her survival spirit and courage. Not many would be like that in her position.The ending, like all the Janet Dailey books I read so far was rather abrupt and left to the reader to contemplate further what happened next.A great read.

My all time favorite

I usually read historical novels but I loved this book. For once the male character doesn't spill his guts for the reader until the very end, Rafaga is defintely the strong ,silent type. And not a wimp just because he is faced with a beautiful woman. You'll want to read it all over again when you find out what he was thinking along the way.
