Mystic Cowboy

Reread March 2015...5 stars, just like the first time! Now to read the rest of the series!

I love westerns, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman is one of my favorite TV shows, and this story is a lot like Dr. Quinn...if it were set today instead of in the 1870's, if there had been no Sully, and if Cloud Dancing had been younger and hotter and unmarried, lol.

The lovely Duchess Nicole had this picture on her review of this same book and once I saw it, I couldn't get it out of my mind. This is Rebel:


WHEW! fans self

I loved Rebel from the start. Although the name suggests he might be a bit of a bad boy, he wasn't that. But he WAS a man who valued faith and family. He cared a great deal for his people, and I respected and grew to like him because of it. Rebel is much more than a pretty face (and body!) He's also a Medicine Man, and carries on the traditions taught to him by his grandfather. I loved that aspect of the story. And there was one scene with the grandfather where I teared up. Sniff sniff.

As for the heroine Madeline...


I loved her stubborn, fiery nature and her wild, unruly curls. She was instantly attracted to Rebel, but fought against it, as she had come to the White Sandy reservation with one purpose, and one purpose only: to serve as their resident doctor for the next two years. Needless to say...fate had other plans. ;-)

With Madeline practicing the white man's medicine and Rebel practicing the Lakota way as a Medicine Man, there were a few times they clashed, but that just made it all the more interesting. But this couple soon realizes they're on the same side, and learn to work together, and that, ladies and gentleman, is when the sparks flew.

The scene in the river was my absolute favorite. So romantic, yet super sensual and very, very hot.


“The spring rains, that was what she smelled like. The spring rains soaking into the earth, washing away the grit of a winter spent asleep. Every second with her was like waking up all over again. And he hadn't even realized he'd been asleep.”

The loves scenes were nice. A little on the mild side, but this isn't erotica. ;-)

Can't wait to read the rest of this series! Especially book 3, which is supposedly about another character we met in the book...a mysterious man by the name of Nobody.
