Night Flame

Sarah travels out west with her father, who is a General in the Union Army. She is bored with her life in Washington, DC since all of the men are away fighting in the war between the states. Her father has spoiled her and can't say no when she decides to come along with him to tour some forts out west. The travels are much harder than she thought they would be but she refuses to go home. For the last few years she has been having dreams that come true and recently she has been haunted with dreams of a man with dark eyes and a handsome face. Night Hawk is a Cheyenne chief visiting Fort Laramie to do some trading. He sees Sarah as she is coming into the fort and is instantly captivated by her red hair and bright blue eyes. Sarah is shaken when she sees Night Hawk because he is the man she has been dreaming of for months. Night Hawk feels that she is the woman destined to be his, so he and his warriors kidnap Sarah from the fort. He names her Flame for her bright red hair and expects her to come to terms with her new life among the Cheyenne. The rest of the story follows Flame as she adjusts from life as a spoiled girl to life with the Cheyenne as the wife of Night Hawk. Night Hawk is a fierce warrior but falls hard for his Flame, just as Flame comes to love Night Hawk with all her heart so that she gladly gives up her old life to be with her love. They build a life together and overcome many difficulties as the story follows their life for the next few years and shows their love strengthening with time and hardship. I enjoyed this Native American historical romance. I like the 1860's setting with the Cheyenne because the book shows their way of life before it was destroyed when they were put on reservations. I enjoyed both Flame and Night Hawk and thought their love story was beautiful.

The book was so romantic and the story was beautiful. Night Hawk is a dream guy!

This was my first Catherine Hart novel, and I really enjoyed it. I found the tender love and the dialog, between the heroin Sara and Night Hawk quit believeable. I found myself truly lost in the story. Very good read with lots of twists and turns. I couldn't put it down.

This story was wonderfully touching and romantic. You could really feel yourself being pulled into the feelings of love and desire between Night Hawk and Sarah. The bantering between each other as Night Hawk was able to gently bend and submit Sarah to his ways was touching and believeable. The history of Cheyenne beliefs and the Christian beliefs Sarah was brought up with, was woven into warm comparison of the two. So Sarah found it easy to adapt to the Cheyenne ways and beliefs. This story is full of so much tenderness that it's definetly one you will want to own. It's a keeper.

This was my first C. Hart novel and I have since been a faithful reader. This is a wonderful story about romance and the true meaning of love as it conquers all obstacles. The setting is woven around several battles and historic figures that were historically correct and added balance and authenticity to the storyline. Flame is the vision every woman would like to be, Nighthawk is the dream lover we would all cherish. Together they weave a story of infinite beauty and love that touches your soul and leaves you wanting to revisit this story many times again.
