Malachite
From the wilds of Montana emerges one last Jewel, an unknown brother burning with hatred for his father's might legacy. Malachite—as wild and untamed as the devil stallion he has vowed to vanquish. But he cannot conquer the way his Comanche blood rages for gentle mother and widow Millie Potter. For in her devoted gaze and loving arms he knows his lonely heart has finally found a home.

Good Western Read. When I picked it up I didn't know that there were others that preceeded it. So now I'll have to get those lovelies.

I wish I had known there were other books before this one. But it still read as a stand alone book. I definitely will be on the lookout for the other books in this series and HOPE that the author will consider doing some 'follow ups'. I'd love to know where the children go with each of their lives. Malachite, who never knew his father only to find out as his mother dies who he is, and upon going to find and confront his father; to find that his father has also died. The learning process of forgiveness and learning about an absent parent was well written. The death of a spouse and trying to raise their children after his death was also well done...I was quite impressed with Ruth's writing, this is my first with her and I loved how she progressed her story. Can't wait to read more of her. Wait for it....the mystery that is in this story was AWESOME. Knew who it was, but not the WHY until the end. Nice job Ruth, you had me guessing all the way to the end.

O melhor da série.
Sinceramente achava que ela tinha esgotado o que poderia tirar dessa série e me surpreendi...
Juntando um lindÃssimo mestiço comanche, excelente em domesticar cavalos selvagens e revoltado com os fatos que envolviam seu nascimento, com uma linda jovem viúva, gentil, trabalhadora dedicada e três meninas sofridas, carentes, tÃmidas e deliciosas, não poderia dar outra coisa. O melhor da série, sem dúvida...
Fora reencontrar toda essa famÃlia linda, bondosa e diversificada que me encantou desde o primeiro volume.
Ótima série... Recomendado sem dúvida alguma.

Série: Jóias do Texas 05 - Malaquita - Ruth Langan
TÃtulo original: Malachite
TÃtulo: Malaquita
Autor: Ruth Langan
Série: Jóias do Texas 05
Editora: Harlequin Internacional
Ano: 1998
Não há palavras para descrever a minha emoção quando descobri que alguém havia traduzido Malachite. Pena que não consegui identificar o tradutor, pois adoraria dar o devido crédito. Ainda estou eufórica, há anos venho tentando adquirir o livro, tentei comprar em inglês on-line e não consegui, pedi a um amigo que morava fora e nada. Já havia desistido, mas graças a o bom Deus e a o anjo que traduziu. Mega feliz!!!!!
Depois do desabafo necessário, vamos ao que realmente interessa: Filho mais velho de Ônix Jewel, Malaquita está preso em dois mundos distintos: os dos homens brancos e dos indÃgenas, e ao mesmo tempo parece ele não pertencer a nenhum deles. Frustrado e magoado, ele acredita que a única solução para todos os seus problemas e a vingança. Mas para aumentar ainda mais seu desespero ele não pode se vingar, porque o alvo de seu desprezo já não vive neste plano...
