Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Intense story about trying and failing to secure a peace treaty with the Indians. Only to discover the Indians want war not peace. Grisly details of what the Indians did to those they caught as well as trying to outrun a tornado made for an awesome read.

I understood why the Indians chose war and not peace but I didn’t understand why they killed children. Ben and Logan have known each other a long time and to Logan’s shock after he is tortured after saving Ben from the Indians, Ben admits he has had feelings for him for a long time.

Loved the wonderfully written descriptions of the different scenes throughout this well written book as well as hot sex between Logan and Ben. This story does end in a cliffhanger to be continued in the next book. Fantastic read that keeps your attention from beginning to end.

Highly recommended.
