In this heart-warming romance from New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, can frontiersman Jake Redman capture the heart of a woman unaccustomed to the wild landscape he loves? 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. But beneath Sarah's ladylike demeanor beat the heart of a true pioneer, a woman he yearned to make his own.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Jake a half Apache/half white drifter who has killed for survival meets the classy Sarah, a woman who travels to the small down to stay with her father. Early on we find that Sarah's father is killed in a 'mining accident' and she does not find out until the day she arrives. Jake, escorts her to her father's home (obviously her father couldn't meet her), out in the boonies hoping she will decide to go back where she came from as it is not safe for a beautiful and single young woman to be out there all alone. Unable to convince this lady to return, as she feels that is where she belongs, he grudgingly decides to keep an eye on her for safety purposes. The attraction is certainly there and what I like about this book is that they don't have the 'does he/she love me does he/she not' attitude that continues throughout some books, which is sometimes exasperating. While I enjoyed every chapter of the book, the ending was outstanding. This book is hard to find and when you do it can be quite pricey. I won it on an auction and paid through the nose but I have to say I didn't regret it. A lot of incidents that keep you turning that page.
This book is a MUST READ ! Especially if you have read LOVING JACK also by Nora Roberts. While it is not precisely a sequel it is a way related. Lawless is one the very few historical novels that Nora Roberts has written Rebellion being the other. This is set in Arizonia and it is action packed with a touching love story.macanne@gte.net
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?
This is a very good book by Nora Roberts. Sarah Conway travels West to live with her father. Upon arriving she finds her father has died under questionable circumstances that looks like a mining accident. She meets gunslinger,Jake Redman after he recsues her & her fellow stagecoach passengers from Indians. Sarah is determined to stay on after learning of her father's death. Sarah becomes increasingly attracted to Jake. She incurs the wrath of the local Madam who is angry that Jake no longer is attracted to her. Very good book.I got the Kindle version so I could have a little more room. sorry to say goodbye to my paperback copy!
This was my first historical romance by Nora Roberts and I loved it. Set in 1875 in Arizona Territory, it tells of Sarah Conway, who was raised in a convent school in Philadelphia where her father left her when he went west to discover gold. He loved his daughter and saw Sarah had everything but the one thing she really wanted--her father. So, when she was nearly 18, she traveled west to Lone Bluff where her father had settled and built them a fine home. She is shocked to see how stark the land was and to discover her father has been killed in an accident in his mine and there was no fine home. Instead, she finds a one-room shack with a dirt floor.Jake Redman is half Apache and all gunslinger, a hardened man but with a kind, noble heart. Jake thinks the girl he calls Duchess won't last a day in Lone Bluff. But he was wrong. And for some reason, he wants to protect her.Sarah is a stubborn, determined woman with little respect for the prejudice of others. She falls hard for Jake and befriends a young prostitute--all the while she is making a home of the cabin her father left her and building a seamstress business. Jake is the perfect hero, steel and ice outside and fire inside. Sarah has a steel backbone but is all lady inside.Roberts brings the Old West to life creating vivid images of the rough life on the frontier with lots of action to keep you biting your nails. There are wonderful secondary characters, too, including Lucius, the kind old soldier who Sarah hires to look after her place; Alice, the young prostitute who thought the sun rose with Sarah; Sam Carlson, the smooth rancher who was more snake than gentleman; and Carlotta, the madam of the local whorehouse who wants gold and Jake and doesn't take kindly to the proper young lady from Philadelphia who has captured Jake's attention. Great storytelling!I recommend this one!
This is a re-read for me. The one thing I do wish is that the original date of publication not just the Kindle Version was shown on the product. As usual Ms Roberts comes up with the goods and never fails to please.
A wonderful historical fiction love story. I love Sarah. I would have been just like her. Soft and caring but yet fiesty and protective like a mama grizzly bear. I loved the way she described the characters. This would make a great movie. I think this book ranks right up there with Montana Sky. I loved that book as well. That was made into a tv movie. I liked that movie. It amazes me how many books she has written. Keep on writing.
