Book Description

Publication Date: Mar 15 1996
She was his captive. He was the one man she was forbidden to have...

As soon as the tall, handsome Spaniard leaned down from his stallion to offer her a rose, Caralee McConnell know California held danger. But all too quickly she was forced to deny the heat Ramon de la Guerra had sparked. Determined to please her uncle who had saved her from poverty, she must resign herself to marrying a man he has chosen for her...and ignore what is in her heart.

Behind Ramon de la Guerra's dark eyes throbbed the memory of his lands, stolen by the beautiful Americana's uncle. He had sworn to reclaim them-riding by night as the ruthless outlaw, El Dragon. In a moment of rage and revenge, he stole Caralee away to his mountain lair...but there, in a passion as sweet as California wine, he would reveal a secret that could cost him his life-and his heart's freedom.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Martin's latest (after Devil's Prize) explores the aftermath of the Mexican-American War and its effect on California circa 1850. The nebulous laws aimed at settling land disputes between the Mexican Californios and the Americanos allowed some Anglos to steal vast quantities of California land. This story is about one such Anglo-Caralee McConnell's uncle-who has staked a claim to Rancho del Robles, the ranch owned for centuries by Ramon de la Guerra's family. Ramon, determined to "set things right, to find justice with or without the Anglo law," fights back under the guise of El Dragon. A midnight raid on the ranch nets him Caralee, who becomes his unwilling hostage and later his unwanted bride. Despite a contrived and predictable ending, the author's colorful overview of the awakening of California, its people and their way of life makes this a worthwhile read.

"What an outlaw! Dark, dangerous and delicious! Midnight Rider is a rich panorama of Old California. I couldn't put it down!" --Georgina Gentry

First Sentence
Silver conchos. Caralee McConnell fixed her eyes on the row of shiny ornaments glinting in the torch light, the bright circles like badges of valor, arrowing down the Spaniard's long, lean leg. Read the first page

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good! Jan 17 2004

The book was not as great as I was expecting after having read the reviews, but it was enjoyable none the less. I have rarely read a historical set in 1850's California, so the setting was a nice change.
Ramon and Caralee were a nice couple.

This was a truly wonderful book, I love this author. There are things that I would change about it, ofcorse, but they are all very little things. Please give this book a try. Close to the ending it fell apart a little bit, and i wanted the relationship to be more solid before it got rocky, again, but all in all it was a very very good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem! Nov 28 2001

This was my first Kat Martin novel. I got this book in a large historical romance novel lot I won in an online auction and this was the first I chose to read.
Kat Martin is a great writer. It's pretty rare in Romance novels that the side characters come alive. I could hear Pedro and Two Hawks in their voices. Truely exceptional.
Carly was truely one of a kind. She creates strong- exceptionally strong willed- women, on par with those created by Iris Johansen or Elizabeth Lowell.
This was my first by Kat Martin, but certainly not my last. Lovely!
