Lucie West was captured, scarred and married to Eagle Dancer, Sioux Indian. He saved her from enslavement to be his wife. Her parents rescued her and took her East, but kept her as a virtual prisoner in fear of her being stolen again. When she could stand it no more she ran away and took a teaching job at an Indian school. Eagle Dancer sends Sky Fox to bring her back to him. Sky was also captured but as a very young child and raised as Indian. As a young man he was pulled from the tribe and sent to the white world where he never fit in. He owes a debt and goes for Lucie. How these 2 lonely outsiders fulfill their debts and find a place for themselves is a good story. ( )

I liked His Dakota Captive. It's not really about the heroine being a captive in this book,as in the blurb. Sky just took her away for a bit to talk to her. It is about how she was changed by her kidnapping and marriage to Eagle Dancer, as a child and Sky's former life with the Lakota. It has been a few weeks since I read High Plains Bride, but I thought Lucie was closer to 15 when she was rescued in that book, but in this sequel, it said she was still 13 when rescued. This story picks up 20 years later. I did feel kind of bad for Eagle Dancer, who was still in love with her. I hoped they would get more closure and talk it out more, but it was handled well enough.
