I only rated this 3-stars because of the slow start of the book. I nearly put it down by the end of chapter 2 because the first chapter delves a little too much into the leader of the Black Watch (who cares ... a short one-paragraph 'prologue' dropping us a hint the character they're about to introduce is more than they seem would have done better) and by chapter 2 the "1%" bikers were caricature-villains. If you've ever read James Fenimore Cooper and been irritated by how overly-wordy and descriptive that particular classic author is, you'll know what I mean. By chapter 4, however, the story finds its pace and became hard to put down, the villains became more believable, and 'Indian' as someone who is more than the bad guys he is running with who has the sudden complication of veterinarian O'Hara on his hands is someone I just want to take home and snuggle with. A bit choppy at times ... we don't get a hint O'Hara learned a few wilderness skills from her brothers until all of a sudden she has them, but enjoyed the strong finish.… (meer)
