Publisher Description
Wounded, dehydrated, and escaping a violent feud with the men of Bob Sutton’s ranch, Trace Jordan is near collapse when he descends from the heat of the desert into a cool, secluded canyon. He wakes to find a beautiful woman gently nursing him back to health. Strong and proud, Maria Cristina has also suffered at the hands of Sutton and his men. The experience has left her hostile and defiant. Trace, intrigued by Maria’s grit and determination, can’t help trying to peel back her layers—but his attraction makes her a target.
Sutton’s men are watching and waiting for Trace to show himself. If he escapes, Maria will have to face them alone. But if he convinces her to go with him, Trace and Maria will have to survive a heat-blasted, waterless desert. And if that doesn’t kill them, the Apaches will.
Customer Reviews
The Burning Hills
L'Amour gave a good account of the old west code of "You kill, you die" and "You steal, you die." The hard men and women who populated the western frontier were, by necessity, judge, jury, and executioner many times. The land was unforgiving and so the men who lived in it had to become such also. Families who made it were determined and courageous, as were Trace and Cristina.
The burning hills
Darn good story! Fast moving and plenty of action. Just went too quick.
Down the burning hills
Not one of his best!
Repetitive
If you are familiar with his work, the characters are dull and uninteresting
Worth reading but not worth paying fr. Check out from your local library if you want to read it.
FOR REALLY TOUGH CHARACTERS TRY DUSTY RHODES!
