Not to be confused with the Antonio Banderas film, this historical romance finds heroine Araminta Winthrop being kidnapped from her Texas homestead by a Mexican bandit. She eventually falls in love with her captor and joins his band of renegades. Brandewyne's many fans will want this.

Product Description

The bestselling author of Rainbow's End and Heartland presents an enthralling tale set in Texas in the early 1900s. On the day she's set to wed a wealthy rancher she does not love, Araminta Winthrop is kidnapped the brazen Rigo de Castillo--a member of Pancho Villa's notorious band--and taken deep into the wild country of Mexico--and into a torrent of forbidden desire.

3.0 out of 5 stars Same ol' same ol', Oct 27 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Desperado (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
