You were engaged for years to that man in Chicago.” For example, when he is upset she didn’t tell him she was a virgin she says “Tell you? Why on earth would I tell you such a thing? You know I have never been married before” ![]() The way the two interact with each other is so modern for the era the story is set it. She doesn’t sulk or is reduced to a puddle of tears. Even when they fight she just gets on with it. She is constantly at him like a yappy dog at a postman’s ankles and but she isn’t irritating because she is right. She is a ball buster and I love how she challenges Cord yet she isn’t sassy. What I liked about this book is how fabulous Annie is. So he shuts himself off from the world and isn’t a man of many words (surprise, surprise). A wonderful girl like Annie does not belong with an outcast like him. For a while the niggly voice in his head tells his conscious that she will leave him soon because he is a half “breed” and all he has known is racial discrimination. So they are thrown together in a violent way and she chooses to stay with him (but not in a Stockholm syndrome way). The beginning of the book is quite brutal with both characters being bashed and Annie left to try save Cord’s life. His own brothers occasionally would like to see him dead too. The way Cord is described, he is so dangerous that even the Sheriff is scared of him. Cord Bennett according to Goodreads reviewer Heidi ![]()
