Shawnee Bride
Wolf Heart had long since accepted his path in life. Born of one world, raised in another, he'd known the pain and loneliness of being different for as long as he could remember. Until he discovered Clarissa Rogers fighting for survival in a savage land and claimed her for his bride.
Torn from a life of comfort, Clarissa had braved the brutal gauntlet and won the right to live among her captors as an equal. But the future was up to her. Would she choose to return to a world of privilege or embrace the freedom of her new life—and accept the love of the warrior who had claimed her heart…?

Rating: 3.2 / 5
Note the following:
- a lot of rushed parts
- good beginning but lower in quality the longer we get to know Clarissa
- two overly stubborn protagonists who delay their romance for two long for reasons of pride (and it’s annoying)
- rushed, all-over-the-place ending
The good stuff:
+ some insight on Shawnee culture
+ unique in that it takes place in the 1700s rather than the 1800s (like most Native American romances do because that’s when a lot of native-white conflict and battles take place, like in the 1860s onwards)
+ no rape or angst (and even what little angst there is isn’t lengthy or too strong, so it’s a lighter read this way)
Overall: I’ll meet it halfway in a 3-star rating.

This is a wonderful story of Wolf Heart, Shawnee. Born of one world and raised in another. He had Pain and loneliness of being different for as long as he could remember, until Clarissa Rogers came into his life in an unexpected way.
Clarissa from the white world, learning the Shawnee way, was hard and getting the right to live among the people was a challenge. A wonderful love story will keep the pages turning.
Love her style of writing and the flow keeps one interested in the two people.

It has a predictable plot and ending. It was enjoyable light read that didn't require too much thinking on my part.

A very different look at Native Americans and the white people. I found it thought provoking.
