Hawk O'Toole's Hostage

I usually don't read these kinds of books, I prefer historical but the American Indian theme drew me in. I am glad I gave it a try, a wonderful read. Unless you live on or near a present day Indian rez then you have no idea how things really are or how the majority of the people feel. Ms. Brown obviously did some research with respect to the Indian's point of view. I wish there were more books out there like these, then perhaps Americans would become aware of the racism and poverty the rez has to face. She also embraced their concern with family and friends, how they influence their children to remain family oriented. The romantic aspect was very passionate and sexy. Any woman would love to be in Miranda's shoes. Hawk's character was not your usual kiss the girl's butt kinda of guy but hard natured and masculine. Most women live their whole life and never meet a man like Hawk. He is almost too much man for many, I suppose that is why so many disliked his character.

This was a very first book by Sandra Brown. I loved it. Hawk was jerk in the beginning, but ended up redeeming himself by the end. He was man tormented by many issues revolving around his native american heritage. If you like tortured heroes, you will love this book

I've read several of Sandra Brown's romance novels and loved them all. But Hawk O'Toole's Hostage was the best romance novel by far! It wasn't as predictable as all her other books. It had great suspense. It took many unexpected turns. I checked the book out at the library and read it three times before I had to return it. It was too good to put down and I had to reread it to catch tiny bits of the plot I missed the first time. Excellent book! You've got to read it!

The audio version of this book was rated much lower because of the very bad reading of Morgan Fairchild. Very distracting from the story line itself, which was otherwise nicely written.

Sandra Brown to me is yet one of the best romance novels of our time. Her writing is very clever and her characters become more and more real as you turn the pages. I've read almost all of her books and there are some that I like more than others, but as soon as I read the name Sandra Brown on a book I know it's a must read. Her books keep me up all night, they make me cry, and sheer of joy. This one did just that. I loved it and I highly recommend it to anyone with an open mind for everything but most importantly romance. The real world is sometimes deceitful so why not join in with characters and books like this that draw you to use your imagination like you never imagined.........This book is a must be for all Brown's readers........
