From Publishers Weekly

A prequel to Johnston's previous The Cowboy and The Texan, this simply written saga is set in 1843, when white settlers and Comanches battled bitterly for possession of Texas. Although born to a white father, Long Quiet embraces the ways of his Comanche mother and harbors hatred for the "White-eyes" who have pushed his people off the land. Then one day he spies Bay Stewart, daughter of a wealthy cotton planter, and instantly (and implausibly) falls in love with her. When she is abducted by Comanches, he spends three years seeking the red-haired beauty before he discovers her hidden among a tribe led by Many Horses, a warrior whose life Long Quiet conveniently saves. In return, Many Horses allows Long Quiet to marry Bay. Two of Long Quiet's most difficult challenges still remain, however. First, he must woo Bay, and then he must decide whether he should renounce his beloved heritage or live, ostracized, among the Comanches. Johnston's intricate family connections boggle the mind and her secondary characters lack dimension. Still, this is a brisk romance chock full of compelling conflicts and strong local color.

From Booklist

Known to Comanches as Long Quiet and to whites as Walker Coburn, Long Quiet treads a fine line between the worlds of his mother and father. For three years he has searched for Bayleigh Stewart, who was taken hostage by Comanches, because he can't forget the impression she made on him in a ballroom in Boston. However, he doesn't hold out much hope that he'll find her or that she'll remain unscathed by her captors. By a quirk of fate he gets a solid lead, follows it to an encampment deep in Comanche territory, and finds Bayleigh unharmed because the Comanches believe that she has powers that can be used for good or ill. Bayleigh is not sure what to make of Long Quiet, nor is she sure that she wants to go back to the family that never found her good enough. Although not as exciting once Long Quiet convinces Bayleigh to return home, Johnston's serious historical is interesting both culturally and romantically. Maria Hatton

5.0étoiles sur 5 Comanche Woman by Joan Johnston, Janv. 23 2004
Par "surivetz" (West Babylon, NY United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Comanche Woman (Mass Market Paperback)
Over the past several months I've gotten myself totally addicted to Joan Johnstons' books and Comanche Woman is at the top of my list of favorites. Unlike Frontier Woman, the first book of this series which I had a bit of trouble getting through the beginning, Comanche Woman picks up at a gallop. I'm looking forward to continuing with Texas Woman to see what the third Stewart sister does with her life.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Review of Comanche Woman, Sep 9 2003
Par Robin Wilson (Russell, KY) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Comanche Woman (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading several bad reviews of Comanche Woman by Joan Johnston, I felt compelled to contradict them. It is the second book in her Sisters of the Lone Star series, the first being Frontier Woman, the third being Texas Woman. I enjoyed Comanche Woman from beginning to end.
Comanche Woman continues the story of the second Stewart sister, Bayleigh, who is abducted by an Indian at the end of Frontier Woman. In that novel, she is a meek, quiet young woman who is often overlooked by her overbearing father and when compared to her forceful older and younger sisters. The reader is left wondering how gentle Bayleigh will survive her capture and endure her subsequent life with the Comanche.
Joan Johnston is known for creating vivid characters and thoughtful introspection. She certainly does not disappoint in her character development of Bayleigh Stewart, who is called Shadow by her Comanche captors. Shadow has learned to put aside all that she has known as the wealthy daughter of a plantation owner in order to survive her harsh new life as a slave to Many Horses.
Unbeknownst to Bayleigh, someone has been relentlessly searching for her since her capture three years ago: the half-breed Long Quiet, also called Walker Coburn. Torn between two worlds, he has loved Bayleigh in secret since he saw her years ago at a ball in Boston. Since she no longer is part of that world, he longs to rescue her and give her the love that he has held only for her.
Their journey to each other is tempestuous and filled with the emotion that one comes to expect from Joan Johnston. The reader genuinely comes to love and care for these characters; this particular reader actually sighed with disappointment when the novel came to its poignant conclusion. (I didn't want to say goodbye to Bayleigh and Long Quiet!) Share their journey also by reading Comanche Woman. You will not be sorry.

3.0étoiles sur 5 "Shadow's" Story...(***1/2), Juil 8 2003
Par L. Shirley "Laurie's Boomer Views" (fountain valley, ca United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Comanche Woman (Mass Market Paperback)
> In the three years Bayleigh Stewart has been held captive by the Comanches and has been sharing a tipi with "Many Horses" a great warrior, she has not been forgotten by her family and most of all by "Long Quiet". Long Quiet,who is half Comanche and half white man, cannot forget the beautiful girl he met in Boston years ago and on behalf of the Stewart family has been searching high and low for her. Finally after three years he discovers she
is now called "Shadow", a woman living amongst a tribe that believes her to have strong powers.Many Horses bestows Shadow as a gift to Long Quiet after saving his life and the love affair begins. It is now up to Long Quiet to return her to her family.The question is will Long Quiet be happy living in the white mans world with Bay when he is a Comanche at heart? And..will Bay be accepted by the world she left behind and how will she adjust to it?

"Comanche Woman" by Joan Johnston is an enjoyable and engrossing romantic Western novel. It is the 2nd in the Sisters of the Lone Star series. The first "Frontier Woman", focused on the youngest of the Stewart girls, the rough and tumble "Cricket" who meets her match in Texas Ranger "Creed". This one now turns it's focus on Bay, the quieter middle daughter, who was captured by the Indians at end of the first story, and I couldn't wait to find out what happened to her. Bay's time spent living among the
Commanches changed her completely. She is now strong and self reliant. The second part of the story, takes a turn and,although we still get some action, it may seem to be more a steamy soap opera,then a western adventure. I think I would have like to read more about the actual events of the Texans escape from the Mexican prison, which is also part of the story. Miss
Johnston also gives us a good look at the traditions and ways of life of the Native American during the 1800's.

Many of the characters from the first story return and all have good stroylines in this one as well. The gruff patriarch, Rip Stewart, Cricket and Creed with their new arrival,Jonas Harper, Bay's first love, who really adds an unusual twist to the story, Sloan, Luke Summers, what's his secret? and of course, the oldest sister Sloan, who was left pregnant and betrayed in
the first story, what will become of her. That's next her story is the soon to be released "Texas Woman", which I also looking foward to reading.

I personally enjoyed "Frontier Woman" a little more than this one, probably because it was more on the adventurous side. But this one was definatly an enjoyable read, and as she has done before Miss Johnston has taken me away to another time and place for a while I would also suggest that "Frontier Woman" be read before this one, as that is where you will get to know all
the characters.

enjoy.... Laurie
