Search - To Find You Again (Berkley Sensation)

Author McKade has written a wonderful love story set in the days following the civil war when the army's mission had turned to exterminating the Indian populations.
Emma Hartwell had been rescued, after a near drowning, and taken to live with a Lakota tribe. Seven years later she is “rescued” by the army who massacre many of her tribe. Wounded she is returned to her family but is scorned by them and white society in general for having chosen to live rather than kill herself. Unknown to all is the secret that Emma carries. Soon she leaves to return to her Lakota family but is trailed by Ridge Madoc, a former army scout, who was hired to find her.
The development of the respect and love for Ridge and Emma, even after he discovers the reason for her return to the Lakota is heartwarming. Emma is feisty and I loved the humor that exists between her and Ridge who is also hiding a secret.

There are several unexpected twists and turns which keep the reader spellbound. I highly recommend this book.

I rated the book A

I enjoyed the story about Emma, captured by the Lakota Sioux 7 yrs. ago being "rescued" and returned to her family. But, she must go back to her people. SHe has a son that she fears to tell her family about so she sneaks away one night. Her father hires Ridge, a scout, to go after her and bring her home again. Attraction between the two developes as they venture to try and find the village and her son who she fears may have died in the army attack the day she was wounded and returned to her white family.

This author always comes through with a great emotional story.

It was written well enough that I FELT it when she had to give up her baby!!

You'll enjoy

This book was excellent.
The heroine was just like I like: strong, brave, determined, a loving spirit ~ without guile, deceit, feminine whiles or sappy love scenes,(which I hate).
The hero was strong, brave, open and also a true loving spirit. Again, no duplicity, stupid misunderstandings, denial of feelings ~ all that rot writers use that disgust me.
That said,I happily recommend this book to all historical western romance lovers.

I really enjoyed this book.
