I loved the love story, but I was disappointed in the lack of role by her father who it would have been nice to see recover enough to get out of bed and bring out some warrior skill to avenge his daughters attackers and her mother, Loretta, who seemed to have lost her spine altogether. I think her attitude about white men was a little too extreme considering she was raised by a very fair and wise half comanche father and a white woman. Indigo was a bit frustrating, but when trying to argue against her staunch stubborn streak, one starts thinking about Anderson's ability to write a sympathetic character, in this case, Indigo's past and mostly her mysticism which makes her so different from the "norm" that you can't really fault her for being apprehensive about everything and everyone. While, unlike Commanche Heart, this book could, to some degree, stand on its own, but wouldn't be as good without the prequels. "I rated this four stars because it is a sequel to Comanche Moon which is a necessary read in order to fully appreciate this. But that all changes when Jake Rand rolls into town. In it, a high-spirited woman named Indigo-who is half Comanche and half white-lives a solitary existence among the Oregon folk who don’t understand her. Reissued after being out of print for many years, Indigo Blue is one of Anderson’s early gems. One of romance fiction’s most popular storytellers, Catherine Anderson hits the New York Times bestseller list with each of her scintillating works.
