"Strong western romance"
In 1877 in the Cherokee Nation West, Lighthorseman Black
Fox Vann trails Cat, a Robin Hood like robber turned killer
when he murdered Deputy US Marshal Turner. At a general
store, Black Fox sees Cat dodging bullets running towards
his horse. Black Fox follows only to find an unconscious
Cat shot in the shoulder. He strips him only to shockingly
see breasts. Cat hears him mumbling about taking a female to Judge
Parker to hang for murder, but cannot understand why he
says that until he accuses her of killing Turner. She
denies killing anyone yet, but plans to kill the general
store owner Tassel for killing her stepfather and mother,
and trying to rape her. He knows she is too hurt to travel
to Ft. Smith for her trial, so he takes her to his ranch to
heal. Black Fox wants to believe Cat's cries of innocence
as he is falling in love with her, but his credo is the law
is the law. Genell Dellin demonstrates why she is the recipient of the
RT Career Achievement Award with this strong western
romance. Though there is plenty of action, the key to the
tale is the relationship between the two characters who are
attracted to one another from the start, but he adamantly
believe in upholding the law while she feels the law failed
her. The immovable law and the untouchable outlaw make for
great fun for readers. Harriet Klausner
