This is one of the heaviest historical romances I've ever read; there is so much hate and rage expressed that I became overwhelmed with the negative vibes. After thinking on this, I've bounced from a score of 4 to 5 stars ? several times. This is an incredibly well-written book about things I don't usually see in romances ? prejudice, racism and unbridled hate.
The book opens with the murder of Johanna and Jacy's parents; then the outlaws cruelly rape Jacy and steal her away. Three days later, the neighbors find Jacy ? in shock and speechless.
Because of Jacy's obvious condition (she's pregnant and unable to speak), Johanna is having a hard time getting and keeping a job ? any job. Finally a lawyer says he has a job for her in New Mexico. Johanna is to be the housekeeper of a powerful land owner, Mack Macklin.
These are two innocents thrown to the wolves; Mack and his two illegitimate sons, Burr and Luis, hate and rage at each other. However, there is a strong bond between the two sons. Luis is the lover and Burr is the fighter in the family.
Luis is immediately captivated by Jacy ? and she with him. He does not look down on her for a pregnancy she could not prevent; he promises that they will be a family and the baby will be theirs.
Love doesn't come so quickly and easily with Johanna and Burr; he has many of his father's worst habits. Burr can be just as cutting and insulting as his father ? and he takes his rage out on Johanna. Now, Johanna is looking for a way out; she is desperately unhappy with Mack and Burr. Johanna is a woman with a strong backbone ? but even she finds the two men impossible to live amongst.
All of the characters are fully fleshed-out. The story is action-packed and moves at a rapid pace. This is one of Dorothy Garlock's earlier works and it packs a wallop.
