I enjoyed this novel immensely. I have a well-worn copy of this book. I love F. Rosanne Bittner's stories. She writes with such clarity that you think you are there with the characters watching them as a third party. In 'Comanche Sunset' Wade Marrow is the son of a Freight Shipping Mogul, but he is also part Comanche who was abandoned by his real mother because he was a twin and Comanches think of Twins as Bad Omens. Well Lester and Vivian Marrow saved Wade from the ravages of the Texas Plains and went to California. In 1860, Wade is now 26 years old and in search of his Indian Heritage, so he hops one of his father's freight trains and goes to San Antonio where he signs on as Indian Scout for a stage coach going to Fort Stockton and meets Jennifer Andrews who is going to Ft. Stockton as a mail-order bride. Along the way the stage coach gets attacked by renegade Indians and all but Wade and Jennifer are dead in the raid. Wade and Jennifer travel alone through the Texas plains towards Ft. Stockton with Wade treating her wounds and they soon realize there was no denying the passion they were destined to share in the magnificent glow of the Comanche Sunset.
The characters are simple and believable. This book as been a favorite of mine for years because Ms. Bittner uses real places and real history in her stories that set the scene for the couples in her romance novels. Ms. Bittner did a great job in creating these characters, for how the story was written they are suited for each other. I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys Indian romance and a F. Rosanne Bittner fan.
