Wild Ecstasy

Wild #1

by Cassie Edwards

EVERYTHING STOOD BETWEEN THEM BUT NOTHING COULD KEEP THEM APART

Beautiful, flame-haired Mariah Temple is the daughter of a tyrannical father who despises all Indians and has given them every reason to hate him. Echohawk is the handsome, daring Chippewa brave sworn to avenge the wrongs done to his father and his people. But when Mariah and Echohawk meet, something wonderful happens: suddenly their bloodlines do not seem to matter, their differences are swept away. The two are inseparable...until a fiercely guarded secret is revealed and the shattering truth tears them apart. A future together would seem impossible, yet nothing can diminish the smoldering heat of their desire...the pure intensity of their passion that propels them over all barriers and lifts them to a love that defies all odds.

I totally enjoyed this book although I was quite surprised about Chief Silver Wing and White Wolf.
I was still glad to see how everything else turned out in the end though and can't wait to read the next novel in the series.

I gave this 2 stars because while I did like the book. I felt all the revenge and vengeance in this one was to over the top.

Ok first of all I want to say that I really don't like to say anything terrible about any book, I might rip on it a little bit sometimes, but never anything horrible. Unfortunately, this is one of those times when I feel that I kinda have to. So to begin with I might as well get straight to the point. I hated it. Plain and simple. It was just soooooooo boring. I had to literally force myself to read it. I mean reading is usually something fun and I love it, but this was sooooo not fun and I hated it. I can usually finish a book this size in a week or 2 tops, but this took me a month to read. That is absolutely horrible for me. And I couldn't even finish it. I had to stop reading like 30-40 pages before it ended. It was that bad. So to wrap up I totally hated Wild Ectasy and deffinately DON'T reccomend it to anyone to read. EVER!

Btw I think this could have been SO MUCH BETTER if she had really used the potential of the story line, because it was really good. It could have been great, but it wasn't :(

Oh my word, it was horrible! It took me forever to finish it, and I finally just skimmed the last few chapters so I could move on to another book!
