FROM JANELLE TAYLOR,
THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF SEVEN NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERS, COMES A NOVEL OF ENTHRALLING ADVENTURE AND EXTRAODINARY ROMANCE.
Born of an Apache mother, trained in Apache ways, undercover agent Navarro Breed embarks on a perilous mission to save Geronimo and his people.
Seeking her own brand of justice against the gun-running desperadoes who killed her husband, Bethany Wind agrees to masquerade as Navarro's wife.
It is a journey that will take them from the Arizona Territory to a sprawling Texas ranch-and the home of the woman Navarro once loved. And it is a journey that will take them from danger to awakening desire-and the love that is their extraordinary destiny. . ..
In CHASE THE WIND
Janelle Taylor has created an incomparable love story of two people who must battle the pain of the past to seize a radiant future. Set against the sweeping panorama of authentic western history, brimming with sensual passion and intrigue, it is the work of a master storyteller at her spellbinding best.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Taylor's latest, a sequel to Follow the Wind , is a predictable romance set in the American West circa 1886. Two U.S. government agents, Navarro Breed and Elizabeth Lawrence, who is hiding her identity under the name Bethany Wind, set out after Charles Cordell, a gunrunner who is selling weapons to the Mexican army, possibly even to Apache chief Geronimo. Cordell is the brother of Matt Cordell, who married Navarro's first love, Jessie. In a slow-moving opening rife with repetition, the two agents have a mock wedding and, as husband and wife, head for the Cordell ranch in Texas. After briefly resisting each other's charms, Navarro and Bethany proceed to fall in love and, though they say they mistrust their feelings, enjoy a physical romance. With the appearance of Charles Cordell, who plans to bilk the Apaches of their silver, a bit of tension enters the story, but not much can rescue the anticlimactic ending in which ``secrets'' the reader already knows are ``revealed.'' Taylor's is a formulaic narrative, but her fans will undoubtedly be pleased.
