Mackenzie's Mountain by Linda Howard
5.0
Okay first of these five stars have been given as Linda Howard has told a fantastic story but at the same time these stars have been given for a book that was written in 1989 and I don't think it would be fair to compare to contemporary romances today.
Mary Elizabeth Potter, moves to small town called Ruth, Wyoming, she has been raised by her Aunt Ardith, who was very strict. Mary is a school teacher, a bit prim and proper, never been in a relationship and is still a virgin at 29.
Wolf McKenzie, what an alpha, loved his character. Wolf is an Indian, with Celtic heritage from his father,he is known in town for a half-breed. The town hate him, as he was sent to prison ten years ago for rape - for which he was proven INNOCENT, he never was responsible for this heinous crime, but as the town hated him, he was wrongly accused. This has stayed with him and after prison he moves back to Ruth, Wyoming and settles on McKenzie Mountain.
Suddenly women start getting attack in Ruth, Wyoming, and Mary is one of them, she's nearly raped, and the person committing these crimes is trying to frame Wolf again, as this person hates Indians. The drama unfolds the the culprit is caught in the end and it was who I thought it was, wasn't very difficult to work it out.
I loved the romance between Mary and Wolf, he was all alpha male over her, which I love, extremely protective, and there were tender moments too, but not cheesy at all. Wolf claims Mary his. Mary falls in love with him quickly, I think by the third time she's meet him she's in love, but hey ho, this was written in 1989, and I didn't let that bother me. Great sex scenes for the time this book was written, Wolf liked it hard and rough, lol, what was there not to like about that. (The scene doing it standing up, yep I liked that one).
Loved Joe's character too. Joe is Wolf's son who is 16, Joe's mum died when he was a baby. Mary encourages him to live his dream, to go back to school and study hard. His dream is to become an Air Force Pilot and fly F-15 planes, and the next book is about Joe which I'm going to be reading.
Impressed with Linda Howard and I shall definitely be reading more of her books.
(Wolf to Mary....... "No, dam it, we can't be friends! Do you want to know why? Because I can't be around you without stripping you naked and taking you, wherever we happen to be. Hell, I don't know if I'd take the time to strip you! I want your breasts in my hands, your nipples in my mouth. I want your legs around my waist, or your ankles on my shoulders, or any position at all if I can just get inside you.)
Extremely impressed for a book that 27 years old, I would like to compare this book to something this author has written recently.
