Nice Book

Ms. Sutcliffe makes the transition from gifted historical author to magnificent contemporary author very easily if WHITEHORSE is a preview of what's in store for her legion of fans. This one has her unique signature of a strong, emotional, and passionate tale with a heavy dose of tantalizing suspense and compelling characterization that draws the readers in and holds us enthralled till the very last page is turned. ----------

Sutcliffe delivers again!

Katherine Sutcliffe can always be counted on for an intense, memorable read, and this book is no exception. I don't think she's written a contemporary before, but Whitehorse is sensational. I devoured the book in one sitting. Fans of her historicals will love the hard-edged, sexy hero we have come to expect from Ms. Sutcliffe. The story is so fast-paced, you're sorry it has to end. More of the same, please Ms. Sutcliffe!

MOVE OVER NORA ROBERTS!

Few times have i ever been so moved by a story and characters as i was by Johnny Whitehorse and Leah Starr. Their story and love was realistic and the issue with the cerebral palsy child was handled beautifully. I have been a fan of sutcliffe's historicals for many years,and when I saw she did a contemporary I was sceptical at first.She has more than proven herself with this book, and I cannot wait for her next contemporary. I have not waited in such anticipation for a book as i am now waiting for hers. READ THIS BOOK! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Her first contemporary is as good as her historicals

New Mexico Senator Foster blackmails his teenage daughter Leah to end her relationship with Mescalero Apache Johnny Whitehorse by threatening to fire her boyfriend's father from his stable job. Over the next thirteen years, she married, had a handicap child, divorced her spouse, and becomes a veterinarian. He has become an internationally famed model and movie star.Johnny has publicly denounced the Senator's assert duplicity that has destroyed the Apache economy, which heavily invested in the Apache Casino and Resort Development firm that has since failed. Johnny plans to expose Foster as the force behind the bankruptcy. When Johnny and Leah meet for the first time since her father ended their relationship, the sparks still fly between them, but he has never forgiven her betrayal. Still he knows that he still loves Leah. While Johnny drives with his girl friend, another vehicle deliberately knocks them off the road. His girl friend dies and Johnny is injured. Johnny strongly feels the Senator is behind the vehicular homicide. He also knows that exposing the vile person probably ends his chances of reconciling with Leah.WHITEHORSE is an exciting romantic suspense novel that highlights what can happen to Native Americans when the casino fails to turn a profit. The story line is intriguing, but no different from several other identical plots that have appeared on the market in the past few years. The lead characters are a warm couple whose star-crossed love will garner reader empathy. Katherine Sutcliffe writes an action-packed, dilemma-laden Native American romance that will please her myriad of fans.Harriet Klausner
