Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book was stunningly good, not only the best in the series, not only the best by Elizabeth Lowell, but the best romance I've ever read.
The conflict in this was so much more than you'll find in other romances - not the silly misunderstandings that are cleared up as soon as the man catches up with the woman, not the man's refusal to admit he loves a woman, but a real conflict about a man who's driven with a restless spirit that's so much a part of him he can't give it up. The human drama of the hero's struggle is portrayed so well you feel it all the way to your bones.
Commonly, one is tempted to feel contemptuous of the hero's hardheardedness or plain stupidity. However, in this book, the hero is entirely sympathetic, the conflicts spelled out, both characters understanding what they feel and what they need and how to reconcile the two.
There's a scene in a cave near the end that is absolutely cinematic in its timing, drama, and visuals that it conjures up. I was amazed. After I read this book, I sat for a full five minutes just contemplating what I'd just read, and how good it was. I am not a gusher, but this novel is the pick of the litter, immensely sophisticated and satifsying. Thanks ,Elizabeth Lowell!

′There is no finer guarantee of outstanding romance than the name of Elizabeth Lowell′ - Romantic Times. Cast adrift during the War Between the States, Shannon Conner grew to womanhood in a lonely cabin high in the Colorado Rockies. Though stubborn and courageous, Shannon is ill-prepared to deal with the predatory Culpepper brothers - and the intoxicating ardour of the man who defends her honour, Rafael ′Whip′ Moran. A loner and a wanderer, a man tied to no place or promise, Whip aids the wary young ′widow′ who has a walk like honey and a determined grip on her shotgun. But neither the Culpeppers nor grizzlies are as dangerous to Whip as the passion Shannon offers him - a passion that could cost Whip the freedom that is as much a part of him as his soul.
