Reviews

My opinion:
Hiram is so gross and disgusting, the author wrote him so well that the ick for him came everytime i read him. The kids were annoying for the most part, the end they were fine. I like Lavinia, Wolf Dancer is meh.

Spoiler/Plot:
Husband dies in the beginning, Hiram the brother tries to win Lavinia. Her daughter gets stolen by 2 kids, Lavinia gets out of bed and gets in the canoe to search for her. Gets bitten by snake and Twila saves her, while Wolf Dancer finds them on the water and takes them to Mystic Island. The daughter was there hiding, happy, happy everyone is together now. Romance starts between Lavinia and Wolf Dancer while Hiram is angry to not have her and starts finding a new woman. Goes away, they burn the plantation and when he comes back gets a heart attack. The slaves go to Mystic Island to live there. Everyone has a happy ending. Btw they have 2 children and shes pregnant in the last chapter, yes Running Bear and Dorey end up together.

I don’t really know how to feel about this book. It was not good but definitely wasn’t shit either from for a pocket book. I hated the main couple Lavinia was stupid and would change her mind to often. (Like when she said she’d never forgive the boys that kidnapped her daughter than in the next paragraph saying to wolf dancer how happy she is that Dorey forgave them) Wolf Dancer is cringe and wtf was with his power to shape shift to a white panther? I hated there love though that could be because I hate the fell in love at first sight trope.

I can't say enough about these books i stay up so late just to try to finish the book it's worth it to be tired the next day

I love the Savage series by Cassie Edwards. All the books are great and so is this one. The Seminole tribe is hiding deep in the Everglades. He is the chief and watched the plantation she lives on with her husband, daughter, slaves and brother-in-law. Her marriage was arranged by their families. They are great friends but not in love. Her brother-in-law comes home carrying her husband killed by an arrow in his chest. There is murder and slavery coveted property it is a great and exciting read.

The book was a fun read. Very predictable. The author did some interesting research on the traditions of the Seminoles which I enjoyed reading.

Another good book from Cassie Edwards. I love the fact the MMC's green eyes are a result from a distant white relative, which makes a difference from the other books.

Stunned by the murder of her husband, terrified by the disappearance of her daughter, Lavinia ventured alone into the Everglades, braving its twisting waterways and the dangersous creatures that lurked within. But instead of death, she found life- a peaceful village and a man who vowed to keep her safe at any cost. In Wolf Dancers arms she would know love at last.

There were some parts if the story that were left unfinished, like where did the bow and arrows come from that killed her husband and what was the legend behind the great white panther that would show up every now and then. Not one of Cassie's best stories but still a very good read.

[Callie W]

Just not my cup of tea. There was no real conflict. The conflict that there was disappeared too quickly for my tastes. The panther thing didn't make sense to me. It was too fluffy. It could've been really good.

[Sherri]

I loved this book, it really kept my interest.

[Andrea]

I really enjoyed this book and the others in the savage series, I recommend it for a great read!
