HTML:From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Anderson comes the second novel in the Comanche seriesâ??a stirring story of courage, passion, and unforgettable love...
Years ago, Amy Masters escaped the fury of the Texas plains for a new life as a teacher in the golden hills of Oregon, where she found contentmentâ??if not happiness. Then, out of the shadows, comes Swift Antelope, the Comanche warrior to whom she once pledged her heart when she was no more than a girl.
Claiming that he's given up his violent ways as a gunslinger, Swift has arrived to take the woman he feels is rightfully his, the woman who once swore to honor a sacred and unbreakable pact. But Amy's brutal past has made it impossible for her to trust any manâ??even if it's the bold warrior who has haunted her dreams, the only man she ever loved, the Comanche heart she can't live without. From the Paperback edit… (mais)
In the previous book, Amy was kidnapped by Comancheros and abused. After her rescue, her only friend was Swift, a young man adopted by the Comanches. She's waited years for him to return to her, but when he finally shows up, he's a very different man in some ways. This was an excellent sequel to Comanche Moon, as we get to see some of the characters from that previous book. Amy and Swift are an attractive couple but with a lot of trauma in their past lives. It's another good story from Ms. Anderson. ( )
Didn't like this one as well as the one before it. The American Indian element was not nearly so strong. I wasn't as fond of the heroine as I kind of kept wanting to slap her and tell her to get with it. Still not bad. ( )
Amy Masters se ha visto obligada a dejar su hogar en la llanura de Texas y busca refugio en las doradas colinas de Oregón. Allà comenzará una nueva vida, si bien no puede olvidar la promesa hecha años atrás a AntÃlope Veloz, un magnÃfico guerrero comanche que habÃa conquistado su corazón. Pero muchas cosas han cambiado en el mundo que la rodeaba y ahora AntÃlope es un conocido pistolero cuya cruel reputación le precede allá donde va. Él juró que jamás volverÃa a perder su honor y su orgullo, y que la belleza con cabellos besados por el sol que frecuentemente le atormenta en sueños deberá hacer honor a la sagrada promesa que le hizo bajo el cobijo y amparo de toda su tribu. Pero, ¿podrá conseguir que ella crea en sus sinceros sentimientos y despertar su pasión con sus anhelantes caricias?
Similar to her sister, the female protagonist becomes a mute due to a traumatic experience and can't stand being touched. I wanted this couple to get together in the last book, but alas, they were twelve. I do enjoy this couple, but Catherine Anderson has a bad habit of letting my attention drift with superfluous involvement of other characters nobody cares about. Stick to the script! ( )

This book is in memory of the Snakes Who Came Back -- a great, noble people who still touch the hearts of everyone who reads about them and the trials they endured. Toward the end, just before the fall of the Comanche nation, the People often said, "Suvate," which means, "It is finished." What a heartbreaking word, encapsulating a tragic story that still haunts so many of us today.
It is my hope that it will never be finished, not for any of us, for if we can't learn from our past mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them.
