Half-Apache and all man, Jake Redman was more than a match for the wild Arizona Territory. Sarah Conway, on the other hand, was an Eastern lady who belonged anywhere else but on the rugged land Jake loved. Still, the stubborn beauty was determined to make Lone Bluff her home . . .
Though Jake was annoyed to find himself playing guardian angel to this tantalizing innocent, he was even more disgusted to find he liked it. Because beneath Sarah's ladylike demeanor beat the heart of a true pioneer, a women he yearned to make his own.

I liked this book very much...I was quite surprised actually. I liked the banter between Jake and Sarah. It was fun.

It's a romance novel, people. Moreover, it's an historical romance novel. Realism is not what this genre is about. It was just believable enough that I enjoyed it. This genre is about fantasy, fairy tale. And every once in awhile, I think it's great to read a novel like this one.
It's set in 1875, by the way, not the 1900s. Would there have been Apache stagecoach attacks in 1875? I dunno, but does it matter?
One thing that does bother me is Roberts' tendency to involve bruising with sex. Lots of passages where the hero is described as bruising the woman when he gets really aroused. I try to ignore these descriptions, but find them disturbing. I don't think that normal embracing, or even rough caresses, would cause bruising. Is this some kind of weird quasi-rape fantasy? And if so, is this what women want to read? Thoughts?

I really enjoyed this book and the chemistry between Jake and Sarah. I give it a big thumbs up.
I am not one who loves every NR book ever written. I did like Montana Sky and the Chesapeake series.
