As a child the heroine's father decided that she was to never be involved in the native American culture of her ancestors. When she would visit her great grandmother high in the mountains and the old medicine woman would attempt to pass on the knowledge of their people the heroine would turn her away. She now regrets that decision more than ever not only because her great grandmother is dead but also because her small town is now being plagued by supernatural creatures from Indian legends. At the heart of the mystery is the contradictive hero. He's a light skinned Indian with long hair and an eagle feather in his braids but he wears a formal suit. She's instantly attracted to the calm smoothly confident doctor and it doesn't take them long to start a hot and steamy sexual affair. The heroine is very sexual and though she was no idea how to be in a relationship she knows how to cure her loneliness with the physical connection with a man. The hero is mourning his wife, whom he had to kill when she became possessed but he's defiantly more open to his feelings . I loved his character. He had such a calm demeanour about him and he was always ready with a reply or response to the heroine's rather prickly comments. And she had a lot of them. She was an expert at pushing people away because he whole life-people she loved left her. It took a certain type of man to stand up to her cold attitude but the hero fit the bill. You could tell from that first meeting he was hooked. Nothing she could do or say could succeed in changing his feelings for her- and she did say certain things that were intended to wound-especially when it came to his missing wife. I enjoyed the story and the Indian folklore. It was unique and exciting and it certainly made me wish I was a part of that world. I really enjoy this series because its suspenseful enough but it's also goes deeper into the characters personality and what made them tick. ( )

It's been a while since I've been in this world. Then I figured out that out of the two books in it that I had to read, I read the second one in the set. So I'm going to start the other one tonight! Enjoyable read! ( )
