I love RMFW’s Colorado Gold conference–and one of the many good things about it is the stack of books (free & purchased) that I always bring home from it. Comanche Woman is the first I’ve read of the ones I picked up at the 2015 conference, and I enjoyed it enough that I went looking for the sequel. I most appreciated the way it handled the interaction of multiple cultures, showing strengths without excusing atrocious behavior. I’d recommend this book for people who like historical or western romances–and who don’t mind the sex scenes. Overall Rating: 4.75: Action: 3.75 / Emotion: 5.0 / Romance: 5.0 / Sensuous: 2.0 / Suspense: 2.5 // Historical Flavor: 4.5 // Laughter: 1 // Teary: 3 / Tears: 5 Comanche Woman: 4.75: Since Joan Johnston is a favorite author, it was not surprising that this exciting, entertaining, deeply emotional, well-told story was un-put-down-able. The best book in The Sisters of The Lone Star Trilogy. Hero: 4.75: Long Quiet / Walker Coburn: A well-named hero. This handsome hero walked tall, full of integrity and knew who he was in spite of having the blood of two nationalities running in his veins. Long Quiet is a hero that would melt any woman's heart -- he endlessly pursued the woman he loved. Heroine: 4.50: Bayleigh "Bay" Falkirk Stewart: A beautiful, kind-hearted, sweet-natured heroine that struggled to find her place in a rough and tumble world. It was easy to feel compassion for and anger at Bay and then cheer her on as she struggled to find her place in the world. Story Line: 4.50: The story line was engaging and intriguing and kept readers glued to the book to see how {1} a half-white, half-Comanche man eventually found his way from the tribe that he loved to the woman he loved, and {2} a gentle-natured beauty made a connection to the family from which she felt distant. Action: 3.75: Enough action scenes, highlighting Long Quiet's masculine skills, kept the story interesting for readers who like a little adventure in their books. Emotion: 5.00: Johnston used Long Quiet's angst about his heritage to tie readers to him on a deeply emotional level. It was also easy to establish an emotional connection to Bay because of her feelings about not fitting into a family containing an overpowering father and two outspoken sisters. Romance: 5.00: The aura of romance permeated the entire story. Long Quiet had been in love with Bay for years . . . and then Bay found herself falling for Long Quiet, a man who courted her and showed kindnesses that were entirely inappropriate for his culture. Suspense: 2.50: Johnston kept readers in a continual state of edginess. First, wondering how Long Quiet was going to rescue Bay from the Comanche village and then how he was going to save her from marrying Jonas. Sensuous: 2.00: Johnston did a great job of slipping in some old-fashioned (1980s), very emotional, sensual love scenes that had a bit of sizzle when Long Quiet finally took Bay to his bed. Historical Flavor: 4.50: Johnson does an excellent job of including details about Texas history in the story as she addresses the issues the Texans faced as they warred with the Mexicans and Comanche. Secondary Characters: 5.00: One thing that Johnston does with great skill is to introduce secondary characters, who are important to the plot of the book, and sometimes play minor roles, but when they walk through the pages of the book, they leap out at you. This book featured: {1} Rip Stewart, {2} Sloan Stewart, {3} Luke Summers, {4} Many Horses, {5} He Decides It, {6} Little Deer, {7} Jonas Harper, {8} Cruz Guerrero, and {9} Francisco "Cisco" Guerrero.

I liked how the hero was crazy for her. I liked the bits of Indian life explored at the first. I disliked some of the deus ex machine stuff that happened, the wolves and the bank account for example. ( )
