Every time he showed up at the jail to bail out his wild young braves, Zoe forgot the oh-so-correct colonel she was supposed to marry, and longed to surrender to forbidden desire.

I believe it would have been much better if they would have stuggled with their attraction and feel in love later in the story. Oct 22, Jen rated it really liked it.

But I got this for free from my libraries free bin and I generally like trashy novels, so I bit the bullet and read this anyway. Savage Heat follows Martay Kidd, a generals daughter. Martay, being bored with high society, hops a westbound train to join her army general father in the frontier country of Colorado.

When she arrives in Denver, she is abducted by a Sioux warrior named Nigh Normally I try to avoid Native American Historical Romances because of the often racist portrayal of the culture. Of course Stockholm syndrome ensues, racist stereotypes, lovey dovey times, blah blah blah. I'm not even going to get into the hideous misrepresentation of Native American culture because my knowledge of the culture is limited. The diffrence between me and Nan Ryan, is that I didn't write a novel based on this Culture. The only I will say about this, is that novels like these make glad that Historical Romance novels have mostly abandoned these types of racial stereotypes.

I didn't really understand the heroine, she was pretty typical for this type of book, but I felt that she was whiny and had very little depth.

The plot was fast moving and kept you turning pages despite being predictable, and lost steam no pun intended a little more than half way through. Night Sun's character had a lot of interesting depth and intrigued me. I was genuinelly interested to learn more of his character and his believable backstory.

It was really well written overall, even though the sex scenes were tooooo looooonnngggg. I kept flipping from 2 to 3 stars, I was leaning more towards three stars until they had sex… While riding a horse. They had sex while riding a horse. Sep 15, Simone Z. Loved the two lead characters, Night Sun a. In fact, I was particularly impressed by the heroine Martay's character though I have to say that I really hated her name! I would rate this book above 4-stars just for the excellent characterisation alone, but not quite 5-stars because Martay was for a good part of the story not a very nice person at all.

But she grew and matured and became very endearing indeed. I like that in a 4. I like that in a novel. Static characters make for boring one-dimensional people and real people do learn and grow with time and experience. Martay had a lot of growing-up to do because she was a spoilt brat and a very prejudiced one at that.

  4. Then again, that is understandable given that her father had inculcated her with prejudices from her infancy. Fortunately, she grew out of them and formed her own opinions in a remarkably mature manner. I think it was very commendable of the author to show how deeply ingrained prejudices we learn from our parents may be dispensed with when we open ourselves to knowledge as our heroine does. Martay's knowledge came with living with the Lakotas, assimilating their ways instead of stubbornly adhering to her own, and learning to view the 'savages' as human beings deserving of love and respect.

    Savage Heat by Nan Ryan

    Everything about this novel was excellent. The plot as a whole was fast-paced and exciting. The love scenes between the hero and the heroine, when they eventually arrive around the last third of the novel, are electric, spicy and tastefully done. A page-turner and a pleasant read almost in its entirety. It was only Regina Darlington's character that put a bit of a damper on the plot, as I see it. Thankfully, however, she plays a minor role in the story and in the hero's life, so she didn't last long enough to overshadow his excellent character.

    He eventually did redeem himself as a real hero ought, so his earlier transgression with that horrible creature may be forgiven. This is the first novel I've read of Nan Ryan's. I was so impressed that I'll be sure to look for more of hers after this. Jan 31, Suzana Thompson rated it really liked it Shelves: I was in the mood to read one of these kidnapped by the Native American romances.

    This is one of the few I found that's available for kindle. I've always enjoyed the clash of cultures in these books, and the heroine learning that her prejudices were wrong once she is immersed in that other culture. There is some really good sexual tension in this book. The author does a great job of building the anticipation for the sex scene.

    He does decide to rape her at one point but doesn't carry it out.

    Her acceptance at the end of the book that her father was really the savage happened too easily after she had vehemently argued that soldiers could never be so brutal to women and children. This book did have some flaws, but it was enjoyable enough for me to keep reading. It's a sexy read if you're into this subgenre of bodice rippers.

    No real story line. The conflict that arises is eliminated almost immediately and then there is no real ending or closure. Major disappointment as there could have been a good story there Aug 26, LynnMarie rated it liked it. She creates a spray-on pheromone and uses it on a she-wolf to see if the male wolves will take to it. Her experiment is a success, but takes on a life of its own when three male wolves begin sniffing around her! Having accidentally splashed some of the pheromone on herself, Emma believes that eventually they will recognize her human scent and leave her alone, but what happens when the three wolves turn into three men?

    Dante, Caden, and Shane are Alphas to three of the largest packs around, but they have their work cut out for them when they meet Emma. Fate has other plans for the Alphas and as they work through their sharing issues, convincing Emma of her role in their lives seems all but impossible.

    Mandy Monroe does a fantastic job with the sexual content, keeping it fresh without being repetitive. The storyline is unique, but felt incomplete and the climax fell short. So many questions still remain and I would love to have seen this story novel size in order to get the answers. The potential for an unforgettable story is there and although it lacks in some areas, overall it was still quite the read.

    The reader will easily identify with the emotional turmoil that Emma goes through battling between her womanly and scientific instincts. The men have it no easier when their personalities and differences of opinion on how to handle Emma come to the surface. Those differences end up making them the perfect mate for Emma. You would think eventually that would be awkward, but you get used to it.

    Sex was pretty good, but time line seemed off and not a whole lot of story. Too wordy, too many thoughts, not enough action not sex cause there was plenty of that. Crystal rated it it was amazing Jan 19,
