Touch the Wind

I could read this book over and over again. It is a story where a woman is married under false pretense by a man who wants her money. When they are stranded in Mexico during their honeymoon, she gets kidnapped by outlaws who want to hold her for ransom. The tension between the woman and the head outlaw is fantastic!

Uma história de paixão nas montanhas do México.

“Da rica e glamorosa cidade de Austin. no Texas. às mais altas e imponentes sierras mexicanas. esta é uma história sobre desejo e destino com a marca de Janet Dailey.” The New York Times

Livro que marcou a estreia de Janet Dailey na lista dos mais vendidos do The New York Times. A carícia do vento consagrou a autora como uma das maiores romancistas do gênero. A protagonista é a jovem milionária Sheila Rogers. bela. impulsiva e mimada que vivia em Austin. no Texas. Sheila contraria as expectativas de seus pais e foge para Juarez. no México. com Brad Townsend. um homem bonito e envolvente. mas que nada mais era senão um caça-dotes. A lua de mel do casal converte-se num show more verdadeiro inferno quando seu marido é brutalmente assassinado e ela é sequestrada e levada por um bando de pistoleiros para um esconderijo nas montanhas. É ali que Sheila conhece Ráfaga. homem corajoso e idealista. e logo o ódio se transforma numa paixão arrebatadora. show less

Excellent Book I read this book in 1980. I could not remember the authors name but I was not surprised it was Ms. Daley who wrote it. Rafaga is handsome and rugged and Sheila is beautiful and sexy who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. She was on her honeymoon with Brad. They run off to get married and on their way to Acapulco Brad gets lost and the car breaks down in the Serria Madras mountains. When a band of outlaws find them and one of them kills Brad. So this leaves Sheila is at their mercy. Rafaga takes her as his woman. One thing leads to another and they fall in love. The only thing I didn't like was that throughout the entire book the only defense that the herione had was to say " I hate you." It was very show more childish. She didn't want to make love with the hero but yet he could say "drop the blanket " and she would. But in its entirety the book was awesome. show less
