I like most of Elizabeth Lowell [aka Ann Maxwell] books, and have trouble deciding if I like her historicals better than her contermporaries. This book, which ties to contemporaries "Fire and Rain", "Ganite Man", "Outlaw" and "Warrior" doesn't make a decision any easier. I really liked both characters, especially Janna's strenght. Contrary to what someone else said in a previous review, I find it quite logical that she recognizes her feelings for Ty as love pretty soon; after all, love usually starts as attraction and admiration, maybe infatuation even. She has seen Ty's courage and strenght in surviving Cascabel's torture, and then she has nursed him to heal his wounds. Of course it doesn't hurt that he is a hunk. As for his feelings, once again I disagree. I think that through most of the novel you can see how he is changing... He is the one who doesn't get it. In sum, I do love this book. Is another one of my many favorites by E. Lowell. Now what I would really like even more would be for her to write books with Ty's brothers and sister stories...
