3.0 out of 5 stars Same ol' same ol', Oct 27 2000
By A Customer
1. The setting and theme is very hackneyed by now. The same ol' Texas and some cute Mexican guy coming along to seduce a white American. Not that there's anything wrong. As a proud Californian, I definitely prefer this setting to the Regency stuff, where everyone is obssessed with "Lord" and "Sir" and...etc...

2. What's with the "gringa" stuff. So much racial distinction is made. Why is the girl Araminta always referred as white? Her lover Rigo always calls her "gringa", meaning white girl. Furthermore, I resent how Araminta is declared as an American just because she is white. Anyone can be an American, America is a country of all countries.

HOWEVER

1. The author...well, reading this, I could surmise the writer was an excellent student in high school who got As on every essay she wrote. I see a lot of hard work in the prose. Nothing is rushed and everything is sifficiently expanded.

2. This books tries very hard to be worthwhile. There's effort in the attempts of stream of consciousness style and the very well sufficient descriptions.

3. Finally, if your fantasy is to be with a really audacious and seductive man who can overpower in physical strength who's also possessive and wants to possess your heart and soul completely, well, this might be perfect for you.
