In that book, Hunter of the Wolf, was a powerful, intense Comanche warrior.

However, I am a big Anderson fan, and I read Indigo's father's story in 'Comanche Moon'. She carries around enough sexual hang-ups to last a woman nineteen million life spans. The heroine is Indigo Wolf, her misery - a violent attack by teenage boys. 'Indigo Blue' is no departure from the Anderson blueprint. Usually, this author's heroines are survivors from some inflicted misery. Her character development is exceptional, and immediately, her reader is hooked into her provocative storylines. This author's location sketches are excellent. Highly recommended.Ĭatherine Anderson provides a travel visa, whenever I pick up one of her novels. The scene after Jake and Indigo had a huge fight, (in which Jake lost his temper and said some really hurtful things to Indigo), when they reconcile with each other, is unforgettable, and so moving, I cried at that part. Jake is patient and kind, and the moments between him and Indigo are precious, as they get to know each other. The last thing she wants is to find herself married to a white man. Indigo is doing her best to hide her feelings, and get through this marriage which she resents. After that, the struggle begins, Jake is trying his best to make this marriage work and to understand Indigo. Then as things progress and upon circumstances beyond their control, Lobo's death, which was a very sad part of the book, they spend the night in the woods, in a small abandoned cottage, Lobo's last hours.īecause of that situation, Jake and Indigo find themselves forced to marry. There Jake meets Indigo a wild, and beautiful woman. He agrees to fill in, in Hunter's place at the mine until Hunter gets well again (The cave in happened when Hunter was in the mine). Upon arrival to Wolf's landing Jake disguises his true identity and instead tells the Wolf family that he is passing by and in desparate need for work.

He can hardly believe that his father would resort to ruining mines, banks, etc, and then offer to buy them knowing that the owners would have no choice but to sell. With dread, Jake decides to look into the matter more, to investigate it. Only before heading to Wolf's landing, Jake soon discovers that the mine had come across several accidents from cave ins, etc, which were not just mere accidents, but looked more like staged incidents. Jake owns the company Or-Cal and he had been sent by his father to buy Hunter's mine. Six years later, Jake Rand walks into her life. Anderson shows the racial prejudice at the time, its cruelty and ugliness. But the emotional scars she carries from that incident are so deep and painful. When she was only thirteen she was sexually assaulted but not raped, because Swift had saved her before anything happened. This is the story of Hunter and Loretta's daughter, Indigo.
