This review is from: Flame (Paperback)
The plot is pretty basic stuff. Innocent girl runs after army lieuteant who took her innocence and left her pregnant, only to find he's engaged to another. However the angst driven army scout marries red headed, fiesty Flame to give the child a name. The rest of the story is fighting the indians. A lot of hot sex ensues in this supposed marriage of convenience. The story's saving grace is that the characters are wonderful and very real as are the secondary characters. The dialogue is also enjoyable. Although a neat read it's not a keeper. Trilogy includes books on sister Raven (black haired), and sister Angel (blonde)

This review is from: Flame (Paperback)
This book is a must read for those who love historical romance. The setting starts out hopeful, like the lush Savannah Georgia, as hopeful as our inpregnated heroine, Flame Chadwick. Then, turns to the bleak dusty forts and shantytowns of untamed Texas and into the forced marriage to Matt Jackson, army scout and friend of the now deceased father of Flame's innocent unborn.
This marriage starts out as a way to save the honor of both Flame and "Annie", as she calls the baby invetro, but quickly ignites a flame in both husband and wife. Flame is a capable, strong woman, yet fair of heart and virtue despite her unseemly (for the time) circumstances.
Rough terrain, cutthroat Indians, lusty and descriptive secondary characters, Flame by Evelyn Rogers delivers over and over and over again. Especially if you've read it more than once, like me.
