:
April Williamson’s heart calls her across the frontier, but only one man—a handsome army scout with a tormented past—can get her safely to freedom.
Synopsis: Daniel McKenzie was an army scout—quiet, capable, handsome…and utterly
unwilling to be the trail guide April Williamson needed to reach Kentucky. The
Indian attack at Blue Licks was but one bitter taste of the American frontier,
a massacre that had taken her father just as cholera had taken her mother. But
April would not give up on her dream. At journey’s end was independence, and
nothing would stand in her way.
The
young widow was beautiful and determined, but the months of travel involved in
her plan would be too hard. Without the general’s order Dan would have told any
woman no, but April especially. His secret would destroy her—or she might
destroy him. April’s kiss was like the country itself. Restless and sweet, it
promised a love that denied every boundary and looked only to freedom and the
future.
About the
Author:
Bio: Terry Irene Blain was lucky enough to grow up in a large Mid-western
family with a rich oral tradition. As a child she heard stories of ancestors’
adventures with Indians, wildlife, weather and frontier life in general, so she
naturally gravitated to the study of history and completed a BA and MA then
taught the subject at the college level. Married to a sailor, now retired,
she’s had the chance to live in various parts of the U.S. and has traveled to
Hong Kong, Australia, England and Scotland.
“My
degrees and my teaching experience make me a natural to write historical
romance. Writing historical romance gives me the opportunity to pass on stories
of who we are and where we come from while exploring the relationship between
men and women. What could be more exciting than that?”

Book Review:
During this time period it was
considered a bad thing to have American Indian heritage, no matter how little. Dan’s father was half Indian, making Dan ¼ Indian. To some people that makes him less of a
person. The only time it bothers him is
when he fears that April will fear him.
April’s father was killed in an Indian attack when she was younger.
This is a lovely romance set during
the initial westward expansion. It not
only has your traditional romance items, but also explores the tensions between
the Indians and the settlers.
I give this story 4 out of 5 clouds.
