3.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY Heather Graham/Shannon Drake book I enjoy, Mar 29 2004

By	cymraess (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Captive (Paperback)

Heather Graham's books are all so alike that I recognised her writing as Shannon Drake before I even knew they were the same person. Her half-breed indian books always go something like:
Brawny Hero: "You hate me because I'm an indian."
Simpering female: "um...what?" as she tries to distract herself from his massive muscles and tanned skin. Of course this never works because he ususally wrestles her forcibly into bed and practically rapes her- but don't worry- she enjoys it in the end.

I can't say Captive was any different from her other books, but it was done so much better. For one, it was actually romantic, and I could see (without having to be told) that the characters attracted to each other. Amazingly enough, I found Teela rather compelling- no she was no rocket scientist, but that's really to much to expect from Shannon Drake- er- Heather Graham.

The thing that annoyed me the most about the book is the reappearence of some of her previous characters. It's been,like, thirty years and they still look like they're twenty? Please. If Ms. Graham can't bear to age her characters, she shouldn't add them into her books.

If you're going to read any of Heather Graham's books, read this one. It's decent, the only decent one that I've read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth Reading!, Dec 13 2002

By	janlouise (Ruston, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Captive (Paperback)

James McKenzie is still grieving over the lose of his wife Naomi and daughter to disease and feels like his soul was buried with them. He has thrown himself completely into the confict between the Army and the Seminole Indians with no distractions until that one evening when his sister-in-law, Tara has convinced him to stay for a birthday party at Camaron for his brother Jarrett. (1 of my favorite scenes in the book!) After dressing in his finest, he spends time reflecting while staring into the fire place putting his back to the staircase..... Teela Warren is the step-daughter of the notorious Indian hater and military officer Michael Warren. She, herself, has been forced to live a strict military life, as well as received the blunt end of the whip at times when she has not conformed to her step-father's way of thinking. Having been brought by force from her home in Charleston with military escort to join Warren, Teela is to meet him on the neutral grounds of Camaron. As a guest at Camaron, she has been asked to join the celebrations of the evening. Dressed elegantly, Teela stops at the end of the staircase to admire the gentleman whom has his back to her thinking it is her host, Jarrett McKenzie- until he turns around and their eyes meet... Hey, I felt like I was there in the room with them. I enjoyed the book and it was a lot of fun reading more of Tara and Jarrett. I have already read Rebel and wished I had not skipped Captive. I highly recommend reading this series in sequence - I think you will enjoy the characters even more. Good Readin!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!!, Sep 5 2001

By	Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Captive (Paperback)

"Captive" is wonderful. James McKenzie could be my captor any day. The story was not only exciting, but romantic. Teela is just the right captive to tame the wild side of James "Running Bear" McKenzie.

"Captive" crosses culture as well as boundaries. It is intriguing and filled with excitement. James is a product of both worlds, therefore, he is twice as good.

Oh and fans "Captive" updates us on Jarrett McKenzie, James' brother and Jarrett's wife, Tara. I read "Captive" a year or so ago, but just writing this review makes me want to read it again!
