Savage Longings

Savage #5

by Cassie Edwards

Kidnapped by trappers, Snow Deer despaired of ever seeing her people again. Then, from out of the Kansas wilderness came Charles Cline to rescue the Indian maiden. Torn between the duty that demanded she stay with her tribesmen and the passion that promised her unending happiness among white settlers, the Cheyenne princess only has the love in her heart and the courage in her soul to help her make the decision of a lifetime.

Good read. The only thing that made my eyes roll were the many times that Cheyenne "princess" was mentioned. There's no such thing as a Native American Princess. They're just called the Cheif's Daughter. Other than that, I enjoyed the book very much.
