Willing to do anything to expose a stock swindler, ambitious reporter Kate Love finds her life at stake and is rescued by black Seminole Dix Wildhorse, who proposes marriage in order to protect her. Original.

Katherine raising feminist hell in an Indian Territory town was hilarious and awesome. It really made the book for me.

3.5 ⭐️

The history was a touch didactic in this one rather than seamlessly woven in, and the purple prose sex scenes are just not my taste at all. But 100% love for the spunky female Kate and how well she fit in with the mail order brides and their version of the road trip.

All the 'standalones' that are connected via these characters and/or settings are as follows, so I've got to go back to 3 of them;

01 - Night Song
02 - Topaz
03 - The Taming of Jessi Rose
04 - Always and Forever
05 - A Chance at Love
06 - Something Like Love
07 - Wild Sweet Love
08 - Night Hawk
