FROM BACK COVER:
"Victoria Ryan tasted sweet freedom-and love-in Boston, far from the cast-iron code of behavior that shackles women in Alta California. Now she has come home to find nothing has changed-that she is to be married against her wishes by her father's decree. And she will share a hidden fortune with anyone who helps her escape.
Rugged and rough, Nick Kincade carefully guards his secrets as he lives by his own law. Yet the cold-as-steel ex-Texas Ranger is willing to escort the bewitching, headstrong lady back East. For the past has already linked Victoria's destiny with his. And anything can happen on the hard, twisting trail-especially for two strong courageous hearts who are irresistibly drawn to adventure...and to the searing, white-hot flame of perilous desire."
Rating:  - This book was O.K. but I wanted it to end...
I had very high hopes for this book after seeing the reviews but I had to force myself to finish the book. I felt that almost every sexual encounter in this book could be considered rape & I don't have a problem reading that in a book but I just don't understand how this girl could come to love this man after the way he treated her. I also don't see how Nick could just stand by when other men were about to rape his woman & I don't understand why Tory would do the seduction act that she did towards end when she truly didn't know that both men would go for her at once. Who's to say that her trick would truly work? What would've happened had one man been put to stand guard while the other raped her? I know a lot of women were helpless in those days but I think I would've fought to my death rather then endure some of the stuff that Tory had to endure. I just don't think this book was thought out that well therefore I can't recommend this book.
Rating:  - One of my "keepers"
I often share books with friends but this is one that I keep for myself to go back to from time to time. I won't reiterate what all of the other reviewers said. I will only say this, I have a hard time finding other writers who can compare to Rosemary Rogers when she creates such a level of passion and tension among the main characters (at times borderline hateful)yet it is done in a way that you almost jump up and say, "Yes!! Finally!!" at the end of the book even though her endings are never sappy-sweet. I admit that some of RR's books are hit or miss. Either you love 'em or hate 'em but mostly I end up loving them. When I see her name on a cover, I have to make sure I have a long stretch of time ahead of me before picking up the book because I can never seem to put the book down despite having pressing real-life responsibilities to attend to. Rosemary Rogers is in a class of her own. They just do not make books like hers these days.
Rating: - Pretty good boOk
I had read a few of Rogers' books, and i especially took an interest to "Sweet Savage Love." The characters were so likeable and the story was captivating. I found "A Dangerous Man" to be very similiar... perhaps too similar. The characters resembled each other, especially the leading men. Rogers repeated the gypsy dancing theme (it was a little annoying) and she threw in her infamous rape scenes. However, I found "A Dangerous Man" and the characters and their love for each other to be a bit mroe believeable and their final unite was not as annoying to get to as "Sweet Savage Love". The ending of "A Dangerous Man" did lack a little more passion than I was hoping for. But overall, it was a good book. The beginning is a little boring, but keep reading. It does get much better.
Rating:  - Not on par with other Rogers novels
I was very disappointed with this novel. I've read & enjoyed many Rosemary Rogers novels before, but this one was boring from the first few pages. I had to force myself to finish it. The plot was basically a re-tread of scenes from her prior novels, and none of the characters were particularly likeable or involving. Nothing new or fresh here.
